“Spoonful of his own chocolate”: Fernández de Cevallos congratulated the opposition for stopping AMLO reform

The former candidate for the President of the Republic, Diego Fernández de Cevallos, again launched against President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) and the vote that took place in the Chamber of Deputies for the Electricity Reform.

Through his Twitter account, Chief Diego welcomed the fact that the Coalition Goes for Mexico - made up of the Acción Nacional (PAN), Institutional Revolutionary (PRI) and the Democratic Revolution (PRD) parties - voted against the initiative that the president sent to the Congress of the Union.

He also indicated that what happened last Sunday, April 17 in the legislative precinct of San Lázaro was a “spoonful of his own chocolate” for the Tabasqueño, because they acted according to the phrases he has dedicated in the past to the opposition such as “I get tired of goose” and “have them learn.”

“With the rejection of Tartufo's electric junk, the Va por México coalition gave him a soup of his own chocolate. He said, 'I'm tired of goose! 'and 'have them learn!' ”, he wrote this Tuesday, April 19.

However, it was not his only demand, since he described it as “idiot*” that something that is already ruled out in this way should be nationalized, according to article 27 of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States (CPEUM).

Despite the criticism of the initiative issued by the Federal Executive, this Tuesday afternoon with 87 votes in favor, 20 against and zero abstentions, the Senate of the Republic approved the reform of the Mining Law.

The decision of the Upper House came 24 hours after the deputies approved in general and in particular the non-reserved articles of the Mining Law that promotes Mexico's sovereignty over lithium.

With 298 votes in favor, 197 abstentions and zero against, the country will now have unique powers of exploration, exploitation, industrialization and exploitation of the chemical element.

The relevance of this initiative lies in the importance of this mineral for the energy transition, since this metal has a high capacity for storing electrical energy, which can be used for the production of batteries and, in this way, help the national industry to enter into forms of electrical storage more environmentally friendly.

On the above, on the morning of Tuesday, April 19, the Mexican president said he was happy after the approval of his initiative, after the Electric Reform had been scrapped.

During the morning conference at the National Palace, the Tabasqueño recognized that Mexico might lack the technology necessary to treat the resource; however, he stressed the importance of recognizing it as a national good.

In addition, Andrés Manuel mocked the action of the Va por México alliance, whose members abandoned and voted to abstain from the parliamentary debate as they disagreed with the position of the AMLO government: “We do not agree on violating the rule of law,” they proclaimed.

“And that they are traitors to the homeland who give foreigners natural resources, there is no doubt about that,” he said.
