“I'm not your opponent”: López-Dóriga responded to the mentions of AMLO in the morning

Andrés Manuel López Obrador, president of Mexico, has exhibited key journalists during his morning press conferences, always linked to alleged right-wing thinking that matches the ideals of the opposition parties PAN, PRI and PRD.

Several have responded to him through social networks, as was now the case with Joaquín López-Dóriga, who runs his own news space. With a video shared on his Twitter profile, the communicator assured the president that, contrary to what he has said in recent days, he is neither his opponent nor his opponent.

During this column, he reported that he is nothing he is accused of, because rather he is a reporter who is over 54 years old, “more than half a century, more than two thirds of my life”, dedicated to the source of information; “hard and passionate daily work”, he said.

He also added that at this time, during the government of the Fourth Transformation (Q4), both the agreements and the disagreements of individuals, civilians, including himself, are accommodated in its spaces, who emphasized that he does not belong to any group of vested interests.

He also questioned that they consider him an adversary to the government solely because he speaks “of the reality that they do not want to see in his administration at the head of the federal government.

He also confronted the president, considering that his “doctrine” of “whoever is not with me is against me”, makes the reality that should be talked about is only what they want it to be.

“I ask you, President, to say that so far in this government there are 116,259 intentional homicides, does it make me your adversary? ; to say that in this government there was an increase of millions of poor people does it make me its adversary?” , questioned journalist Joaquín López-Dóriga.

This is not the first time that the journalist has challenged the president of Mexico. Recently, AMLO showed several figures in the Mexican press that they gave an account of the armor of Mexico City before the 8M march, since with fences they defended buildings, monuments, etc.

The comparisons were between the coverage of Azucena Uresti, host of Milenio Televisión, and the aforementioned presenter.

“It's like López-Dóriga”; “as López-Dóriga would say, the note is the note” and “If I start to see what López-Dóriga was going to say (...) with them, I never look good”, were the most outstanding phrases.

“Mexico is full of commentators of this type. There are no others. They all have the same conception, and receive slogans or are at the service of vested interest groups. There is a different press, but it is a minority, in large companies this dominates”, he added.

In this regard, for his most recent column in the Milenio newspaper, López-Dóriga labeled the constant accusations to the press as distracting to forget the so-called Casa Gris.

There were, in total, three mentions against the journalist, as he said in his text, plus one he annexed last week.

This, he said, “is already a matter that goes beyond a Democrat and places him in another field”; however, his response was harsh in challenging him to “continue his offensive”, and asserted that “I endure that and more in this and in any terrain. You know it.”
