La Jornada – We will patent a crisis response strategy: AMLO

President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said that the strategy to confront the economic crisis, in the midst of the pandemic, was successful and without following the prescriptions of international financial organizations.

“This formula, let me show off, is new and we’re going to record it so there’s no plagiarism; we’re not going to collect royalties, but we want to know it’s a different way of facing a crisis, it’s completely different, and it has given us results.”

And the president was asked, during the morning press conference, yesterday, about the various infrastructure projects, and the president confirmed that the goal is to complete all the ongoing work no later than the end of 2023, that is, nine months before the end of the six-year period.

Entering the economic issue, expect Arturo Herrera, the head of the Ministry of Finance, and Rogelio de la O, who will replace him at the beginning of next month, to the morning to report on the state of the country in this matter.

“I just expect that we are doing very well in the economic recovery, that the economy is growing, jobs are recovering and all indications are that we will leave soon, before other countries and better off, because no debt has been contracted and fuel prices and taxes have not gone up.”

“They were very good results,” he added.

an explicit question about the eventual existence in the country of conditions for sustainable economic growth, as occurred in the so-called period of stability (1940-1970), also known as Mexican miracleمعجزة, which is also determined by controlling inflation and the strong value of the peso, the president answered in the affirmative.

“Yes, there are unbeatable terms because we have very favorable conditions, the neighborhood with the United States.”

He recounted when Porfirio Diaz’s advisors recommended diversifying stocks, not putting everything in one basket, hence the investments from several countries, as well as the geographical suitability of the country.

Now, remember this phrase: “Poor Mexico, so far from God and so close to the United States,” I said, “Blessed is Mexico, so close to God and not so far from the United States,” because this integration — hence the importance of achieving the signing of the new treaty with the President TRUMP – One day even our enemies will realize it, because it was not a simple and easy matter.”

In this way, he endorsed the power of North America on the world trade arena and the importance of, for example, the national labor force.

“It is a fact, and Mexico is required, and it would not be possible to compete in other regions of the world without Mexico; therefore, we have a special position.”
