AMLO again harassed Loret de Mola to report on her alleged millionaire assets: “We are not going to let him”

The president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), again urged the journalist, Carlos Loret de Mola, to account for the three assets it allegedly owns in Mexico and the United States and whose cumulative value, he said, exceeds 200 million pesos.

The president emphasized with greater emphasis that the Latinus collaborator reported on the property of the magical town of the State of Mexico (Edomex) which, he assured, required the felling of 36 thousand square meters of trees for its construction.

“It was a forest that was cut down (...) It's quite a lot, almost four hectares,” he said during his morning conference.

It should be recalled that, despite mentioning that the information about the property came from an anonymous citizen complaint, on April 7 the Chief Executive delved into the information about the house in order to continue his attack on the journalist.

In his onslaught, Andrés Manuel declared that Loret had acquired the eight-hectare land from Miguel Limón Rojas, former Secretary of Education, and then erected the current three-and-a-half-hectare construction.

However, he also commented that, at this location, the reporter would have built a larger pool than José Ramón López Beltrán, AMLO's firstborn son accused of possible conflict of interest in the case of “the gray house”.

Despite the attacks, López Obrador (again) assured that the tensions he has had with Carlos Loret have no personal nature, nor are they related to his journalistic work.

He stated that his responses (in which he has violated the privacy of his personal data at least a couple of times) seek only to combat the corruption that affects the Public Treasury: “That is why we need to know whether those explicable or unexplainable riches that occur overnight,” he said.

The most recent occasion when the Tabasqueño infringed on the right to data protection was on April 7 when he exposed the invoice for the acquisition of a department of 24 million pesos. With this, AMLO sought to verify not only his possession, but also that the deal would have been entered into with the Salinist politician, Ignacio Morales Lechuga.

In this way, Andrés Manuel again insisted on his call to make the assets and income of Loret transparent, as well as of anyone linked to the public.

“Where does the income of this type of journalist come from? A good number are of public origin. So it's all transparent. No corruption,” he argued.
