CDMX.- Mexico is the country more dangerous in the world to exercise the journalismbut to President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) seems not to care.
Yesterday he offered his “solidarity” for the attack on Thursday against the journalist Ciro Gómez Leyva, but took the opportunity to attack the media accusing them of feeling select and intelligent.
“There is no balance, there is no objectivity, there is no professionalism. Everything is changing and they do not want the mornings to exist, that there was no right to disagree, the reply, they show their authoritarianism,” he said when defending his conferences from the National Palace.
He accused Gómez Leyva himselfGrupo REFORMA and other journalists such as Denise Maerker, Joaquín López-Dóriga, Jorge Ramos and Carlos Loret de Molato be spokesmen for conservatism to protect elite interests.
“Because they say, ‘it is stigmatized in the morning’, that now they are playing the victims. If I reminded them of what this whole group has done, what They are from the elite, from the most select of the information media, who earn up to one million pesos a month.. And not that they were luminaries, right? Or that they were so intelligent. It is that they have a mission: to protect the interests of groups. Jorge Ramos, for example, must earn about three million pesos a month, and so all of them,” said the President.
AMLO even said that the attack against Ciro Gómez Leyva lor was able to commit the crime or “opposed groups” to his government to affect it.
“It could be a response from groups opposed to us, to affect us (…) to affect our governmentbecause people know very well that we are respectful of life and we would not dare to do such a thing,” he said.
Senator Germán Martínez, a member of the Plural Group, assured that the Presidency encourages an atmosphere of stupidity and poisoning, as well as anger towards journalists, opponents and human rights defenders.
“There is an atmosphere of stupidity from the Government, a debasement of the public from the National Palace. The Presidency is not a center of harmony in Mexico, but of resentment, discord and division,” said Martínez.
And he stressed that the alleged destabilization attempt is generated by the Government itself.
“It is they alone and their inefficiency, mediocrity and vulgarity and their insensitivity, who are destabilizing the Government itself. No one is seeking to destabilize this Government other than its own inefficiency, lies and political bullying that the National Palace addresses to the media and freedom of expression and those of us who think differently,” denounced the senator who won his seat at the invitation of Morena.
Juan Vázquez, Article 19 Communications Officer, considered that it is contradictory that the President sympathizes with what happened and in the following minutes undertakes a series of attacks.
“It is dangerous to politicize the attack on a journalist because, in the first instance, it deals with the life of a person who is at risk. The President influences and generates a cascade effect on other officials at all levels, because if the President does then it is allowed for the other officials to do it,” he said.
