The head of the Executive questioned:
“When these artists, pseudo-environmentalists, spoke out for the destruction that was going to be carried out on Lake Texcoco, when? We are talking about the lake with the most history, which is the origin of Mexico Tenochtitlán, never, nothing, when did they say something during the neoliberal period that the governments handed over 60 percent of the territory for mining exploitation, 120 million hectares”.
He even invited the “undersigned” to visit Port AdventureXcaret, where the American company Calica is located, which had a permit to extract construction materials and which operated near the Caribbean Sea.
