Last Thursday, AMLO unmasked the fraud with which the American newspaper New York Times (NYT), through a report lacking rigor, without strong evidence or clear sources, accused him and his children of having agreed with drug trafficking and receiving money from drugs to finance the political campaign that led him to the presidency in 2018.
He did so by making publicly known the questionnaire he received from the newspaper in a tone of ultimatum that the Mexico bureau of the American newspaper posed to him on the subject one day before the publication of the report.
As he read the questions he responded. He denied all the allegations contained in the questions and generally described them as “slander” from a “filthy pasquín.” Then the report became known which, according to what was written by its authors, was the investigation into an investigation whose existence the United States does not recognize and in which they contradict themselves by pointing out that it was information compiled by three US officials “familiar with the matter.” and that “it came from informants whose accounts can be difficult to corroborate and sometimes end up being incorrect.”
The qualifiers once morest the NYT show, in our opinion, unnecessary rudeness since it is a historic newspaper that retains prestige in the international community.
However, it is understood that they have been expressed due to the anger that AMLO provoked in what he claims are lies that damage his good reputation and that of his children and that they are clearly part of a black campaign in the context of the electoral processes that are being carried out. carried out in Mexico and the United States.

When publicly reading the interview request made by the NYT, López Obrador made public the personal telephone number of correspondent Natalie Kitroeff. From there the American newspaper took action to respond to the qualifiers made by AMLO: it violated a Mexican law that put the life of an American journalist at risk, in a context in which Mexico has been internationally considered one of the most dangerous countries to practice. the job, as confirmed by the data on homicides committed once morest reporters.
AMLO himself thus diverted the debate from blatant US interventionism in Mexico towards the violation of the Federal Personal Data Law, thereby endangering a human life, an issue that was raised in the black campaign once morest him and that was reinforced, Not without reason, when in the “morning” of last Thursday, a Univision reporter made him say that above that law is the moral authority and the political authority with which he represents a country and a people that deserves respect. Hence the indefensible inference: the president claims to be above the law, pure gold for the black campaign of his adversaries.
This, without a doubt, is a consequence of declaring and declaring every day, of not stopping for a moment to think regarding what he is going to say, always with the argument that his chest is not a wine cellar. The saying is wiser: a fish dies through its mouth.
But this is also a reflection of a way of thinking and being because precise words evoke precise ideas and if what is evoked is what is thought, then we are faced with authoritarian, autocratic thinking.
The words are exact, both for the letters and accents that make them up and for the ideas they evoke. What is said is said and if the person who said it was “misinterpreted” was made a mistake, he or she will have no choice but to say that it was not what he or she meant.
Remember Confucius, Mr. President: “He who does not know well the power of words cannot know men well.”
The INAI, for its part, initiated an ex officio investigation once morest AMLO for violations of the Federal Personal Data Law for making public the telephone number of the NYT correspondent. It has a period of fifty days to issue a resolution, which might be extended for another fifty days if the plenary session of the transparency institute so decides. The legislation contemplates pecuniary sanctions that might be challenged in the Federal Court of Administrative Justice.
A similar investigation should be carried out by the INAI following the complaint filed yesterday by José Ramón López Beltrán, AMLO’s eldest son, that his telephone number was leaked on social networks, with similar risks for him and his family as those warned in the case of Natalie Kitroeff.
Last Friday, by the way, a “screenshot” of the reporter’s profile on a social media site that contains her telephone numbers, although with some tested numbers, circulated online. Those who spread it maintain that AMLO did not reveal any personal data then. But those who do not accept that version circulated that same “screenshot”, but with the telephone numbers tested in the other, marked with several Xs. Digital tools allow these options and more. Will the numbers be correct and complete in the original, as is the case on the social networks of many other American journalists?
That will be part of the INAI investigation, to which it should add others in which the privacy has allegedly been violated, for example, of López Obrador’s eldest son and not only due to yesterday’s leak of his telephone number.
Remember that the organization Mexicans once morest Corruption and Impunity founded by Claudio
The publication raised the existence of a scandal similar to that of Peña Nieto’s White House by pointing out a conflict of interest due to the fact that López Beltrán lived with his wife in a house owned by a senior executive of the Baker Huges company, who obtained contracts with Pemex. AMLO himself showed the lease contract and even his arch adversary Diego Fernández de Cevallos considered that there was no crime in the matter.
The matter of the gray house tried to be reactivated by Xóchitl Gálvez who went to Houston to video record it on August 9, 2022 to show it on his networks.
And on another occasion, on May 3, 2023, José Ramón López Beltrán confronted envoys from Mexicans Against Corruption who came to video record the house inhabited by him and his family in Coyoacán, and that according to files supposedly hacked from the Sedena is owned by the personal assistant of the director of La Jornada, “the newspaper that has received the largest amount of official advertising in this six-year term.”
So, if the INAI is going to investigate ex officio violations of the privacy of the NYT correspondent, it should also do so with those committed once morest López Beltrán.
Snapshots:
1. PHONE HARASSMENT. The presidential candidate of Morena and allies, Claudia Sheinbaum, also reported yesterday that “someone” leaked her phone number on social media and that she was receiving “hate calls and messages.” And then she said: “your attacks on her are as crude as they are harmless… the numbers that should concern you are the polls.”
2. TRUTH COMMISSION. The presidential candidate of the opposition alliance The standard bearer of the “Fuerza y Corazón por México” coalition did not rule out that the next Congress of the Union promotes the creation of a truth commission to investigate what was said in those reports. And she recommended that if the president feels that he is being defamed, he is obliged to file a complaint in the United States.
3. MORE PROGRESS IN ACAPULCO. In the main port of Guerrero, the GNP Arena, headquarters of the Mexican Tennis Open, was reopened. After having been seriously affected by Hurricane Otis, it is now ready to host this international event in its 31st edition. The investment was more than 200 million pesos, to which was added 22 million to rehabilitate Las Unidas Boulevard, as well as Las Palmas and Simón Bolívar avenues in the so-called Diamante area, as reported by Governor Evelyn Salgado. In Acapulco Diamante, an operation will be deployed with more than 440 security and aid elements from the three levels of government, for the prevention of crimes with members of the Public Security Secretariat, the Mexican Army, SEMAR, state traffic, tourist police , municipal traffic, civil protection, firefighters and the state attorney general’s office, to guarantee the tranquility of those attending the 2024 Mexican Tennis Open.
4. FROM THE ACADEMY TO THE CONGRESS. The designation of Erasmo Catarino as a candidate for substitute senator of the Green Ecologist Party for Chiapas is considered one more of the quotas imposed by TV Azteca. Obviously the head of the candidacy is the eternal Luis Armando Melgar who only appears for that entity during election times. Once once more the so-called “telebanking” fights for seats that respond to the interests of the telecommunications sector. The apprentice singer Erasmo Catarino will thus receive a better award than the one obtained in the Academy program, despite not being from Chiapas or having a political career.
