As mandated by the Constitution, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador presents this Friday a report on his actions for the year, the progress made by his government, as well as his future projects.

As a novelty this year, the president did not go to the Palace of San Lazaro (seat of the Legislative) to present it, but rather from Campeche, where as part of the advances in the Mayan Train project, Lopez Obrador will get on this means of transportation for the first time, in order to supervise the carriage that arrived to the southeast this month.

Since it is one of the emblematic works of his government, he intends his message to be significant by giving it from Campeche.

.
According to the president, he decided “to deliver this report from Campeche because it is one of the towns and states that have contributed the most to national development”.

López Obrador emphasized that the key to Mexico’s economic growth was not allowing corruption, as well as the increase in the minimum wage and the sending of remittances from Mexicans abroad.

In this sense, he pointed out: “The key is not to allow corruption, it seems something elementary and even simple, but progress with justice in our country depends on it, nothing had damaged Mexico more than the dishonesty of the rulers, that is what the government’s success has consisted of”.

He also pointed out that the policy of Mexican humanism is effective and highlighted the increase in the minimum wage.

He also stated that “it is false that if those at the top do well, those at the bottom will necessarily do well”. He said, in this sense, that “our alternative project is based on the opposite in attending to the base of the social pyramid and this is what is generating better income for families”.

According to the president, Mexico is the country with the third lowest unemployment in the world and the economy increased 3 percent since the last report, a year ago.

López Obrador highlighted that now young people who were previously classified as “ninis” were not offered the possibility of working, but with social programs, they are now allowed to become apprentices in workshops, restaurants, companies and other activities.

In this sense, he pointed out that “While they are being trained, they receive the equivalent of a minimum wage, plus medical service in the social security system. As of today, 2,643,000 boys and girls have been trained (…) Do you know how much has been invested since we arrived until today, only in this program, 14 times more than all that was destined to young people in the six previous six-year terms”.

Regarding the judicial reform he has proposed and which he announced he will soon present, the President argued: “It is indispensable and urgent that judges, magistrates and ministers be directly elected by the people and not appointed by the elite of Mexico’s economic and political power”.

Further on, he praised the work of educators and pointed out that “The more the economy grows and salaries increase in general, teachers’ salaries must also increase” and regarding health, particularly the supply of medicines, he announced that “In two or three more months we will have a pharmacy where all the medicines in the world will be kept, there will be no shortage of them”.

In relation to the controversy over the new textbooks, the president said “They have scientific foundations and a humanist dimension” and thanked that the majority, “30 out of 32 governors, governors, supported the decision to deliver the free textbooks”.
