Next Monday, 21 March, the new Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) will be inaugurated, so that the day before social networks erupted with criticism, ridicule, congratulations, memes and much more for one of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's (AMLO) megaprojects.

However, criticism of the construction began to abound this Sunday, 20, because public officials and people close to the Fourth Transformation announced that the country's new air hub has official social networks.

According to the secretary general of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena), Citlalli Hernández Mora, the intention that the new airport should have social networks was a strategy to avoid the false information that circulates daily on social networks.

And on that social network, Twitter, was where the only message on the account began to be filled with all kinds of comments, from congratulations to criticism for the design: “Huge project carried out in a timely manner”, “Opening of the new trucking station”, “Let it be for the better, leaving aside political issues”, “I'm just going to follow them to see if it really is the wonder that they cackle so much.”

However, the memes were also present, since both members of the opposition and those close to the federal government in turn wanted to expose on the internet what the reaction of their opponents would be like to the upcoming inauguration.

In the first place, many militants or people in the government in turn mocked the opposition because the airport was going to be handed over, although, they say, many of them did not believe that the work was going to be achieved:

However, criticism of the government could also be seen, especially against the design of the infrastructure, as well as the memory of the Texcoco airport that was canceled at the beginning of the current administration:

Although the new account was not the only thing that brought the project back to trends in social networks or major search engines, it was also achieved by a tweet by Francisco Arrubarrena, former technical secretary of the Board of Directors in Mexico Dialogos, who questioned the price of private transport from the borders of CDMX and the State of Mexico up to AIFA.

Arrubarrena shared a message comparing the alleged costs of a trip from Satellite to AIFA and another to Mexico City International Airport (AICM) through the private transportation application, Uber.

In this way, the lawyer also obtained a notable difference in prices, since the trip to the capital's port resulted in almost 270 pesos, while that of Santa Lucia would cost more than three thousand pesos.

However, it was the users of the same social network who were in charge of denying his accusation after realizing that he had quoted a trip to an alleged airport Felipe Calderón in Hidalgo, instead of Felipe Ángeles in the State of Mexico.

So the memes appeared to mock the litigator, since they began to argue that unintended distances could also be measured just to show a point.

The destination to which the mobility app directed Arrubarrena is located in the municipality of Molango de Escamilla, in Hidalgo, which corresponds to a semi-dirt road near the Molango Aerodrome, as reflected in Google Maps.
