AMLO justifies dissemination of personal data of the president of Mexicans against Corruption

MEXICO CITY.- This Monday, during his usual morning press conference, the president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obradorjustified that because it was a public matter, he disclosed personal data of a possible act of corruption in Pemexlinked to the political analyst Maria Amparo Casar.

“Now that they have released the statement, they allege, instead of delving into whether or not there was corruption, they turn to the Transparency Institute (Inai), which is their creation, to say that privacy was violated. As if corruption is valid, as long as it is kept secret: We must be careful because if it is made known, a serious crime can be committed that violates privacy,” said the president, and assured that this is a public matter. .

“All this helps us to know who is who in the public life of the country, it helps us to know what the limits are, namely, how corruption worked to prevent, so that future generations are not deceived and do not manipulate them,” added AMLO.

He pointed out that the debate is interesting because “conservatism” considers corruption normal when it comes to them, because its doctrine is hypocrisy.

“But there is a kind of alienation in maintaining that, if they are the corrupt ones, they have a license, they can do it, because the corrupt ones are others, and they go to the extreme as in this case, that they establish institutes to combat corruption. It is the control in reverse.”

López Obrador attacked the Inai for initiating an ex officio investigation in the case of María Amparo Casar because, he said, “evidence was revealed that has to do with personal data.”
