“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador stated, on May 29, 2024, that he wanted to finish what remained of his Government, without acts of repression, massacres and missing people, after going through, according to him, “difficult circumstances.”
Likewise, during his morning press conference, held from the Treasury Room of the National Palace, the Tabasco politician took the opportunity to criticize that his opponents were seeking, according to him, to resolve the problems of violence with the use of force and more prisons.
“We live in a free country and I want to, of course we’re going to achieve it because we have already gone through enough time and difficult circumstances, and we have never fallen into a provocation and I want to end my term without a single act of repression, without a massacre, without missing persons, with peace, with tranquility, but at the same time without authoritarianism,” indicated the national leader.
“People understand me, because when our people talk about violence, they don’t think in the same manner as those in leadership, those at the top, who want to resolve everything with the use of force, with prisons, with threats of a strong hand, with more severe laws.” “That’s how the conservative thinks, he always thinks that way, we tend to think the way citizens think,” said the head of the Federal Executive Branch.
Likewise, the President of the Republic said that man by nature isn’t evil and that violence in the country was unleashed, according to him, by the abandonment of the people and the collusion of authorities with organized crime.
“Even conservatives forget that human beings, we are all born good, and that it is the circumstances that lead some to take the path of antisocial behavior, we are not bad individuals by nature,” insisted the Tabasco politician.
“But that, even if they go to the temples, even if they go to the Church, they cannot internalize that and also understand that the violence in Mexico was unleashed due to the abandonment of the people and also because of the collusion of authorities with organized crime,” added the national leader.
