Andrés Manuel López Obrador presented his last official report yesterdayWhere he highlighted economic, security and health statistics, which are priorities for the population.
He assured that Mexico’s economy has grown by an average of 1% annually during his six-year tenure, making it now 12th in the world, “before it was 15th.”
“Despite the pandemic and the global crisis as a result of the war between Russia and Ukraine, and the collapse of the economy in 2020, we are back.”
The President stressed that between 2018 and 2023, based on World Bank data, “Poverty in Mexico went from 34.3 million to 24.7 million; that is, in five years, 9.5 million Mexicans escaped poverty.”. But Inegi reports that only 5.1 million people remain.
He cited a more than 100% increase in the minimum wage, “like nothing that happened in the last 40 years,” until it reached 248 pesos a day.
This increase, along with social programs, “means that the difference between the incomes of the richest and the poorest is now 15 times on average, compared to a ratio of 35 during Felipe Calderon’s six-year term.”
For the coordinator of the Jalisco Como Vamos Observatory, Augusto Chacón, López Obrador has had some successes, such as raising the minimum wage, but a priority pending is safety.
And he points out that it is a mistake to say there is no impunity or corruption, because both are on the rise.
The president spoke of an 18% drop in intentional homicides. However, he omitted that Mexico recorded more than 170,000 murders over a six-year period.Enrique Peña Nieto and Felipe Calderon are superior figures compared to past administrations.
Anuar García, coordinator of the Jalisco chapter of Mexico SOS, highlighted support for the most vulnerable people, even if the issue of security is excluded.
“It’s worse than ever. “Murder increased.”
Despite complaints of drug shortages and delays in care or surgery in the health sector, López Obrador assured that he left a health system “better than Denmark” in Mexico.Thanks to the Mexican Social Security Institute model and the IMSS Bienestar for people without public security
The universal and free health system known as IMSS Bienestar is already a reality in 23 states. This public health system is already the most efficient in the world, I said it was going to be like Denmark. no It’s better than Denmark.”
He did not mention failure the knowledge.
Raúl Flores López, president of Jalisco’s Copermex, agreed on the labor issue, but thanked the cooperation between different sectors. The bad thing was “the lack of public health services and medicine.”
Antonio Lancaster Jones, coordinator of Jalisco’s Council of Industrial Chambers, recognized support or pensions for older adults and students, although he questioned the pending costs of the Dos Bocas refinery and trains built in the south of the country.
