Now it was done: after almost 5 years battling, the government of AMLO finally achieved sell the presidential plane. Apparently, they framed the government of Tajikistan with such an aircraft; but beyond the celebration in the National Palace, the truth is that This topic has not yet been closed.
In recent years and always mentioning the presidential plane money, AMLO has accumulated many outstanding promises.
This multipurpose money has been pledged to help in the water crisis; at the same time that offered to lend a hand to migrants. In another time she said that would be for victims of violence and even for finance social programs. Now, it turns out, it will also be for build hospitals.
And that we are not counting the raffle —which was not a raffle—of the presidential plane —no presidential plane— that, at the time, it was commented that it would be to buy medicines.
In the midst of all the choro, now that the controversial aircraft has been sold, the time has come to comply. And here we bring you the screenshots of 5 times that AMLO promised the money for the presidential plane.
It will be for the water in Hidalgo
ran the September 17, 2019 when AMLO jumped into an event in Zacualtipanin Hidalgo. On that occasion she was visiting an IMSS Hospital, but changed the subject after promised that the money from the presidential plane would be used to alleviate the water crisis in the area.
“Now that the plane is sold, we are going to help with the water to Zacualtipán as a tribute to Felipe Ángeles”, the president said into the microphone.
As the event was ending, he endorsed his promise and asked people to keep an eye on his words: “Once let them know that the presidential plane has already been sold, start to think that support will arrive soon so that they do not suffer from the water.”
The money from the plane will be for immigration
months before, in June 2019the president promised that presidential plane money it would be for finance the migration plan in Mexico. What —if you have followed the news— It hasn’t solved much The migrant situation has been surrounded by tragedies, violence and few resources.
The promise of this money came at his National Palace conference. “I’m just going to give you a piece of information, for those who are concerned, interested in knowing where will the budget come from“said. “Yesterday I received the United Nations appraisal for the sale of the presidential plane.”
“So, to answer: where is the money going to come from? Well, it would come out of what we are going to receive for the sale of the luxurious presidential plane ”AMLO promised the press.
No, what better for a hospital in Guerrero and Oaxaca
This is much more recent and it is just that it became official that AMLO’s government had sold the presidential plane to Tajikistan, AMLO announced that this money —despite previous promises— it would be for the construction of two hospitals.
“We are going to use the money from the sale of this plane to build two hospitals, each with 80 beds in the poorest areas of Mexico”commented the president, sitting on the presidential plane. One will be in Tlapa, Guerrero and in Tuxtepec, Oaxaca.
He offered it to the families of the disappeared
Now let’s go with a promise that began in the prehistory of this six-year term and that is that in September 2018 —when he was not yet president, but had already won the elections—, AMLO spoke of the money that would arise from the sale of the plane in a meeting with the families of the disappeared.
At that time, accompanied by Olga Sanchez Corderosaid that wool would be to help them. “We will attend to all the demands for justice with the money that will be earned from the sale of the fleet of planesthose resources will be used for justice”he promised.

Worst? The accounts do not come out to comply
A few years ago, the president said that the HIM there was valued the plane at 150 million dollars. Actually, according to his message posted on 2023the plane ended up being sold 38% cheaper than it had been valued: at 92 million dollars.
What is worrying here is that an analysis of The Hound —from Animal Político— confirmed that 150 million dollars They were only enough to meet 86% of the cost of the plane that was owed in the loan to Banobras. “The federal government would not have resources from the sale of the plane to dispose of and assign to other programs”they pointed out.
