We already have many articles saying AMLO was an evil communist dictator. I can’t wait until they start calling Claudia an evil dictator too.
Yeah I think I saw a small amount of “oh she’s aUtHoriTaRiaN” but it’s not widespread. Libs are still focusing on “first woman president” at the moment.
I may not be Mexican or live in Mexico but she’s my president
Lede buried!!!
The government also signed a decree for the Mexican State to regain full rights over passenger railroads.
Yeah a project financed by deutsche bahn can’t be good
By cutting through indigenous land and putting it in charge of the Mexican army who has been contributing to indigenous dispossession.
Tren Maya was amlo ignoring indigenous peoples to build a vanity project. Fuck tren maya.
Also it’s more expensive to use than buses, and ignores most tows, so only tourists use it.
But other trains would be cool, there used to be a Guadalajara-Mordor city train, that one would get a lot of use.
what’s the difference between “de-privatize” and “nationalize”? is this some weasel word bullshit or did something substantial actually happen here?
Death to America
They were never private. They are run by their respective trade unions, wich in practice work more like medieval guilds, were positions in the company can be inherited, sold, etc.
Sometimes the companies subcontract stuff, and those are awarded to the families of other guild members.
There are also a lot of benefits for high ranking members like I limited free electricity for life. On the other hand if I exceed my allowed use I get fined into space.
There were some reforms made by the libs to make the companies more competitive, by bringing some accountability, but they were mostly half assed. And never did anything. Except annoy the most reactionary sectors in Mexican society, who all support amlo.
This reform doesn’t do anything except give them a guarantee that things will stay as they are. Rigthnow Mexico has oil for 15 years or so. And the government invests more money in pemex than it gets out, so it basically is subsidizing the high living standards of high ranking guildsmen.
Death to america, of course
This reform doesn’t do anything except give them a guarantee that things will stay as they are.
so this is indeed a bullshit headline.
Death to America
Not necessarily. It seems like a very strong guarantee. Any change as to how they are run, or movement towards privatisation would be almost imposible now, wich is both good and bad.
Death to america of course.
