When asked about the rescue of migrants in Tamaulipas, AMLO highlights that the people of that entity “chose their ruler very well.”
He points out that Américo Villarreal was watching and “acted,” as well as the Tamaulipas Prosecutor’s Office and the National Guard.
He notes that the migrants were left in the parking lot of a shopping center and there they were rescued “safe and sound.” He avoided revealing the name of the criminal group involved, because the investigation is ongoing.

Morning: AMLO does not agree with the EZLN on drug trafficking in Chiapas
AMLO expresses his disagreement with the vision of EZLN leaders regarding the presence of drug trafficking in Chiapas.
The president highlights that Chiapas is one of the entities that has benefited the most during his six-year term and the one that has reduced poverty the most when citing “figures” from Inegi.
López Obrador points out that he and the EZLN do not share visions, since according to him the organization was not committed to transformation through peaceful means and that in the past they disqualified him and called on him not to vote in the elections.
“It is a point of view that I respect, I have a different point of view. Chiapas is one of the states that has benefited the most in recent years. We are not going to agree with that, because they do not agree with us… they did not support the transformation through peaceful and electoral means. “They said we were equal and called not to vote.”

Morning: AMLO highlights decision to give control of ports to the Ministry of the Navy
AMLO highlights his decision to give full control of ports and customs to the Secretary of the Navy in order to prevent drug trafficking.
President López Obrador emphasizes that the civil officials of the SICT were not helping for this purpose, and that in response to the measure, the then head of the agency, Javier Jiménez Espriú, resigned.
He says that it was a good decision to pass control to Semar, since he assured that there has been greater control, seizures and that progress has been made.
“I made the decision to transfer the ports to the Secretary of the Navy, because it was necessary to prevent drug trafficking and smuggling. The SICT civilians were not helping. This led to the resignation of engineer Jiménez Espriú. And the decision was very good, because from then on there has been control in the ports, many seizures and progress has been made.”
