[00:00:00] in various regions of the country, he even pointed out that Ingemar [00:00:03] supplied more than 320 [00:00:05] gas stations. [00:00:08] The case of José Manuel Muñoz is not minor. In 2016, he was [00:00:12] arrested in Madrid, Spain, at the request of the United States, which accused him [00:00:15] of being part of a strategic network of cocaine trafficking and money laundering [00:00:19] for the Los Zetas cartel. [00:00:22] Telephone interceptions carried out by the Spanish police revealed alleged [00:00:25] connections of "Mono" Muñoz with Mexican politicians, including brothers [00:00:29] Rubén and Humberto Moreira Valdés. The name of [00:00:33] with other countries through the Silk Road the latter appeared in an email that one of his former employees [00:00:36] sent to "Mono" Muñoz's lawyers in Spain. The [00:00:39] text stated that Humberto Moreira had collaborated with the United [00:00:43] States for the arrest of "Mono" Muñoz in the old continent, an [00:00:47] operation that would have been interpreted as revenge, since in [00:00:50] 2002 Los Zetas assassinated Humberto Moreira's eldest son. [00:00:53] Moreira. [00:00:56] After being extradited to the United States, Manuel Muñoz. [00:01:00] a legal process in a court in San Antonio, Texas. Three years [00:01:03] later, in 2019, he pleaded guilty to money laundering [00:01:07] from drug trafficking. He was [00:01:11] results, and that is what sentenced and all indications are that he became [00:01:13] an informant. [00:01:16] "El Mono" Muñoz and his family own the gas station group [00:01:20] Cargogas. On their website, they list 39 branches [00:01:23] in several cities in Durango and Coahuila. In July of [00:01:27] last year, several of their stations were. two days after [00:01:31] a seizure of more than 2 million liters of fuel in [00:01:35] a property in Saltillo, [00:01:35] Coahuila. [00:01:39] Today, while the FGR investigates the largest fuel network from the United States [00:01:43] led by Ingemar and the rest of Rufo Apple, the gas stations of [00:01:47] their client, "El Mono" Muñoz, proudly advertise the sale of American gasoline [00:01:50] to which, even one day a month, they significantly [00:01:54] reduce their prices in what they have called Happy [00:01:57] Day. [00:02:21] Mexico City government presented a report and a reinforced [00:02:25] strategy to combat the crime of dispossession, highlighting [00:02:28] operational results, historical statistics and new [00:02:31] property security actions. The [00:02:34] inter-institutional cabinet reported that it has received more than [00:02:38] a thousand reports related to possible cases of dispossession. [00:02:41] After analysis, 388 were [00:02:44] confirmed as dispossessions, while the rest corresponded to [00:02:47] conflicts of a civil or family nature. Of these [00:02:51] confirmed cases, 317 have already been resolved [00:02:54] with the restitution of the properties to their [00:02:57] right? And that's why the participation of legitimate owners, which represents an effective rate of [00:03:01] 82%. [00:03:03] Now, the authorities also pointed out that since [00:03:06] 2019, the number of complaints has remained stable with an [00:03:09] average of between nine and 10 daily cases in the [00:03:12] capital. In addition, they recalled that after the reforms to the penal code, the [00:03:16] crime of dispossession with aggravating circumstances can reach penalties of up to [00:03:20] 22 years in prison. As part of this new strategy, the [00:03:24] capital government also announced eight actions to prevent and [00:03:27] combat this crime, and among them, the creation of [00:03:31] a public program for the notary registration of property, the [00:03:35] legal defense of property against dispossession, and the [00:03:38] dissemination of a prevention leaflet aimed at the [00:03:41] citizenry. New deadlines for [00:03:43] now I remembered, attention were also established: up to 15 days [00:03:46] for the seizure and restitution of properties, and a [00:03:51] populations help us to take care of maximum of 30 days for the judicialization of these cases. In addition, an [00:03:55] immediate response protocol has been added, which contemplates [00:03:58] police response in less than 3 minutes for reports of [00:04:01] dispossession that are in [00:04:03] process, to [00:04:06] secure [00:04:10] and return the properties [00:04:13] in 15 days and in 30 [00:04:16] days the judicialization, this that we are [00:04:20] saying is the most [00:04:22] relevant of this great [00:04:25] strategy, because it is the [00:04:28] way in which the population can [00:04:32] see justice for this crime, [00:04:36] so this new [00:04:39] security period seeks [00:04:42] to immediately restore [00:04:46] properties. [00:04:48] The capital prosecutor's office secured a property located in the Del Valle neighborhood in the [00:04:52] Benito Juárez borough after a complaint of dispossession [00:04:54] filed by a family member of painter Jorge González Camarena. [00:04:58] Interviews and inspections. Public registry consultations [00:05:02] allowed obtaining authorization to execute the [00:05:05] measure by a control judge. This property remained under [00:05:09] the custody of the prosecutor's office while these proceedings continue. So [00:05:12] let's stay attentive to what happens with this issue of [00:05:21] 9th, a reforestation day will be held throughout the country, the goal is [00:05:24] to plant more than 6.6 million [00:05:28] trees and plants, [00:05:31] in 32 states, in 621 municipalities, [00:05:35] 1632 agrarian nuclei, [00:05:38] 32 hectares, we are going to... [00:05:42] just that day we are going to plant more than [00:05:46] 6.6 million trees and plants, [00:05:49] 235,97 [00:05:50] people will [00:05:54] participate and we will also plant with [00:05:58] drones, the objective is that this [00:06:02] day be held every year, that it [00:06:05] not only be 2026, but that from [00:06:09] now on we set aside a day each year where [00:06:13] everyone reforests, it [00:06:16] is a national effort, [00:06:19] well, Alicia Bárcena, Secretary of the Environment, is with us via Zoom to talk about the details of this national [00:06:23] reforestation day, Secretary, welcome, how [00:06:27] are you, good evening, Azul, delighted to [00:06:30] greet you, just like [00:06:33] our beloved colleague [00:06:36] Iglesias, Luisa, oh my [00:06:39] God. Help, Secretary, 6.6 million [00:06:44] trees and plants will be planted in a [00:06:48] single day, which must be said and the president [00:06:51] is mentioning it now, it is a national effort, that is, here a call for [00:06:55] participation is opened, absolutely, the [00:06:58] 32 states will [00:07:01] participate, well, of course, Mexico City included [00:07:05] and I think it will be a historic day because I think it is the first time that [00:07:08] the 32 [00:07:12] states have been called upon, today we all had [00:07:16] connected in the morning and [00:07:18] really participating in a very concrete way, [00:07:22] the places have already been identified where each governor [00:07:26] will be in their states with obviously the [00:07:30] accompaniment of Sader, Semarnat, Conafor and well [00:07:33] all the servers of the nation [00:07:37] of welfare of planting, the planters of [00:07:41] planting life and the truth is that a historic participation is [00:07:44] expected of over 260,000 [00:07:47] participants who will plant that day these [00:07:51] 6.7 million trees, not to [00:07:55] round up the figures and it really is a spectacular [00:07:58] day where we will also do a pilot [00:08:02] exercise with drones in 11 states where there will [00:08:05] be 450 thousand seeds that will be [00:08:09] dispersed that are already pelletized, they already come with [00:08:12] a specific treatment, with a little [00:08:16] soil so that when they fall they can be in [00:08:19] humid places, hopefully they can blossom and [00:08:23] grow as we expect. Secretary, good [00:08:26] evening, I wanted to ask you how the selection of both trees [00:08:30] and these planting areas is made, thinking precisely about [00:08:33] this race against time that is always fought against deforestation and well, this [00:08:37] issue that has been circulating for many years, not only in Mexico but throughout the [00:08:40] world, regarding, for example, these soils that become [00:08:44] monocultures and sometimes lose their nutrients, how to beat [00:08:48] precisely all these things that are against us with such an important [00:08:51] strategy. Look, Luisa, thank you very much, [00:08:55] no, look, it's very important what [00:08:59] you say for several reasons, because look, 70% of our [00:09:03] territory is forest cover of different [00:09:07] different places and ecosystems, right? We have from [00:09:11] temperate forests, jungles, [00:09:14] scrublands, xerophytic plants from the [00:09:17] desert, etc., mangroves even, right? [00:09:20] So for each state, a very precise selection [00:09:24] was made to identify which species [00:09:27] should be planted in each state according to [00:09:30] its geographic and ecological reality, [00:09:34] right? And that's why for each state, [00:09:37] the polygon was identified together with the teams of the [00:09:41] state governments. And I can give some examples, right? [00:09:45] For example, in Aguascalientes, it will be in [00:09:48] Asientos Clavellinas and there will be species such as [00:09:52] palo dulce, guisache, mesquite, [00:09:55] palmayuca, chamizo, that is, these are species for each specific [00:09:58] place that have been chosen precisely so that they can [00:10:02] last. Another very forested place is Durango, and there in [00:10:05] Durango we will surely plant mainly [00:10:08] pines, Apache pine, Chinese pine, etc. [00:10:12] So in each place there will be different [00:10:15] species, in the tropics there are other types of [00:10:18] species, so this has been done with great [00:10:22] meticulousness by our teams in the field of [00:10:26] Sader, Semarnat, Conafor, which has [00:10:29] a lot of experience in these matters and [00:10:32] I think we will be successful, because in each state the species [00:10:36] have been very well chosen and it has also been [00:10:39] determined how many plants we have available for each [00:11:46] Secretary, we are talking about an effort that [00:11:49] will take place during one day, a day that will also [00:11:53] be repeated once a year from [00:11:57] 2026, but I think it is important, this is given within the [00:12:00] framework of a much broader effort that has to do with the [00:12:03] "Sembrando Vida" program, here we are talking about 6.6 [00:12:07] million trees, but there is a goal [00:12:11] of 1,500 million trees and plants by [00:12:14] 2030, right? [00:12:17] Yes, of course, what we want is for the country to be able to [00:12:21] recover, to a certain extent, lost ground, right? [00:12:25] We are deforesting annually around [00:12:28] 200,000 hectares per year, and that's an enormous figure, right? [00:12:32] And we also have significant losses due to forest fires, [00:12:36] that is, just this year we have almost 846 [00:12:40] thousand hectares affected by fires, also illegal [00:12:43] logging that has also affected us a lot in the country [00:12:46] and that is why this effort is so important and what [00:12:50] we want to achieve is to recover the water cycle together [00:12:53] with the forests, with the jungles, the mangroves, [00:12:57] etc., protect and regenerate the soils and [00:13:00] also strengthen the forest economy, because Mexico, for [00:13:04] example, is importing boards, when we could [00:13:07] produce them in Mexico, with communities that are very [00:13:10] important, it must be said that 60% of forest [00:13:14] ecosystems are ejido [00:13:17] or communal or social lands, [00:13:22] communities is so important and [00:13:25] this day implies the participation not only of state governments, [00:13:29] but also of the ejido members, of the [00:13:32] agrarian nuclei in general, of the municipalities, [00:13:36] of all the states and of the federation where we have [00:13:39] Sader, Conafor, Semarnat, but also [00:13:43] Sedena, Semar and the National Commission of [00:13:46] Protected Natural Areas, because we will be in the 50 protected [00:13:50] natural areas this Sunday as well, [00:13:54] that is. What we want is to really achieve a national [00:13:58] effort number one, number two, that it be [00:14:01] permanent throughout the year, that is, obviously we are in the rainy [00:14:05] season and that helps these plants to [00:14:09] survive, but the idea is that reforestation be [00:14:12] continuous and that local [00:14:16] what is planted this Sunday, Secretary, and in that sense, to [00:14:20] say goodbye, how do we all do to contribute from wherever [00:14:24] we can contribute? There are many comments on social [00:14:27] media that precisely ask that question and who also join [00:14:31] in a very important way, even already supporting from [00:14:34] now. Tomorrow we will publish and this [00:14:37] question is very important, Luisa, thank you very much, we want [00:14:41] people to participate, from wherever they are, to [00:14:44] plant, to join this great [00:14:47] effort and we have a page that [00:14:51] tomorrow will be a very important moment that will be called [00:14:55] jornada [00:14:55] nacionaldereforestación.gov.mx [00:14:59] It will be a microsite where we will put the specific [00:15:03] places where in each state reforestation will take place [00:15:07] in those polygons we have chosen where the governors will be, [00:15:10] but there will also be other sites indicated where [00:15:13] the planters of the Sembrando Vida program, [00:15:17] those from Conafor, those from Conamp will be. For example, here [00:15:20] in the Valley of Mexico we will have a very important site in Texcoco, [00:15:25] where the protected natural area will be, where people are very [00:15:28] welcome, in Lake Texcoco which has been so rescued, [00:15:32] we want to reforest extensively there, but Mexico City has also [00:15:35] chosen. a very beautiful place and [00:15:39] I hope all citizens can accompany us, [00:15:42] in the microsite the specific place will be indicated, [00:15:46] state by state, also where they can [00:15:49] join because that is where the plants that they can [00:16:36] arbitration related to a debt of TV [00:16:39] Azteca with two investment funds in New York, surely you remember these [00:16:43] investment funds, Cyrus Capital Partners and Contrarian Capital [00:16:47] Management which claimed more than 219 million dollars, which [00:16:50] they claim Ricardo Salinas Pliego's company did not [00:16:53] pay them, they also accused that a resolution by a judge in Mexico [00:16:57] City left them without this possibility of collecting that [00:17:00] money, so they held the Mexican state [00:17:03] responsible and took this case to an international tribunal. [00:17:07] Well, let's not forget that this conflict began in 2017 when [00:17:11] TV Azteca issued debt bonds to obtain financing, [00:17:15] the two funds, these funds bought these bonds, but [00:17:18] then they reported that the company did not pay, complied with these [00:17:22] payments, however, the International Centre for Settlement of Investment [00:17:25] Disputes known as ICSID, ruled in favor of the [00:17:29] Mexican government and concluded that it is a conflict between [00:17:32] private parties, that is, the debt can still be claimed [00:17:36] from the company. And the Mexican state is not [00:17:39] responsible for that debt, [00:17:43] let's go now to more economic matters, you know [00:17:46] that you just have to look at the daily quotation of the oil barrel [00:17:50] to detect this enormous speculation surrounding that market [00:17:53] within the framework, of course, of the war of the United States against Iran, it is a [00:17:57] situation that has affected entire economies around the [00:18:00] world, while there are other companies that are becoming [00:18:03] millionaires, here we tell you the story and explain why. [00:18:09] So far this year, the price of oil in global markets suffered the [00:18:13] impact of the war between the United States and Israel against Iran, which blocked [00:18:16] the distribution of around 20% of the oil consumed [00:18:19] in the world, causing the biggest hydrocarbon distribution [00:18:23] crisis in history. With less [00:18:26] oil available in the global market, its price increased [00:18:30] and, consequently, the profits of oil companies [00:18:33] doubled. The eight largest oil companies in the world [00:18:37] made profits of more than 90 billion dollars in just [00:18:41] three months, practically double their profits obtained in the [00:18:44] same period a year ago. Aramco, [00:18:47] BP, Shell, Equinor, Total Energies, [00:18:51] Eni, Chevron and Exon Mobil together [00:18:54] obtained profits of $700,000 [00:18:57] every minute. The company that benefited most from [00:19:01] the conflict, despite suffering drone and missile attacks on [00:19:04] some of its plants, was the Arab oil company [00:19:07] Aramco, with a 34% increase in its [00:19:11] earnings during the first 3 months of the year, which [00:19:14] is equivalent to more than 33 million [00:19:16] dollars. The Dutch Shell reported that in the same [00:19:20] quarter it made profits of 9.8 billion [00:19:23] dollars, making it the second most lucrative [00:19:26] quarter in its long history. The American [00:19:29] Chevron and Exxon Mobil, for their part, obtained [00:19:33] 12 and 14 million respectively in the [00:19:36] same period. Chevron practically quintupled its [00:19:40] profits. War is terrible in its human [00:19:43] costs, but as the phrase goes, it is also an [00:19:47] excellent business for a few. Rodrigo de la [00:19:51] Vega, reference [00:20:31] we were seeing, there are two big [00:20:35] situations that at this moment are the most. but let me talk about these two [00:20:39] that are generating economic distortions worldwide, on the one hand [00:20:43] the issue of speculation on oil prices, we are talking about [00:20:46] markets that have been frankly affected by the issue of [00:20:50] Hormuz and the war, and the other is tariffs, [00:20:54] there is a second wave of tariffs from the United States, [00:20:57] there is already a response from China, [00:21:01] in short, I would like you to give us a [00:21:03] little clarity to say where we are [00:21:07] in this panorama. Well, as you put it, [00:21:11] it's very interesting because we are used to [00:21:14] understanding geopolitics as these barriers to the [00:21:18] entry of certain products, affecting trade, but the [00:21:22] extreme of geoeconomics is now expressed in the [00:21:25] war, in this war that has openly [00:21:29] economic purposes, in fact I was trying to [00:21:32] remember what was the [00:21:35] justification for starting the war with Iran and it was a regime change, [00:21:39] then it moved precisely to this narrative of nuclear [00:21:42] weapons, now we don't know and what we see is a series of [00:21:46] speculation that is affecting, of course, [00:21:49] practically half of the world and is benefiting [00:21:52] companies as shown in the report, so analyzing [00:21:56] the price of oil takes us to [00:22:00] two levels, the first level is that of the real economy and the [00:22:04] second that of speculation, that of the [00:22:07] real economy expressed in the deterioration of infrastructure that is [00:22:10] affecting supply and that coincides with the [00:22:14] blockade in Hormuz, which we are talking about almost a fifth [00:22:18] of the world's [00:22:20] oil, but speculation is also extremely serious, [00:22:24] why? Because we have to understand that oil [00:22:27] prices are not only [00:22:30] governed by supply and demand, that is, [00:22:34] between producers and buyers, but also these [00:22:37] speculators who are betting on [00:22:41] future prices, so there is a very [00:22:44] select group of people who unfortunately [00:22:47] are... benefiting from the war, there is [00:22:50] a very tragic phrase in economics, [00:22:54] but it is now being proven that when the [00:22:58] cannons sound, money moves before [00:23:02] tanks, right? And that is seen [00:23:05] by all this financial speculation, that is, the [00:23:08] market for real products only [00:23:11] represents a fraction, unfortunately minimal, of [00:23:15] all this speculation there is in the price of [00:23:19] something that should be seen as a human right [00:23:23] and not as a speculative commodity that [00:23:26] benefits not only these large companies that obtain [00:23:29] profits from the, well, [00:23:32] now that their product prices are increasing due to the [00:23:36] speculation [00:23:38] that they themselves are generating, but also by investment [00:23:42] funds, also by banks that are selling [00:23:45] uncertainty, uncertainty bonds and are also generating [00:23:49] these derivatives, that come from [00:23:51] volatility, but we also see that there is a [00:23:55] series of events that make [00:23:58] the economic policy of the United States questionable, [00:24:01] even by the Nobel Prize in Economics, Krugman, [00:24:05] who tells you openly, this is [00:24:08] treason because it is proven a suspicion [00:24:11] that there was speculation about prices [00:24:15] due to the announcements made by the president of the United States, which now [00:24:18] even the states have verified, of course, so [00:24:22] that is a betrayal of the very people of the United [00:24:25] States, affecting consumers, [00:24:28] consumers worldwide, so [00:24:31] this situation is accompanied by the [00:24:35] increasing tension [00:24:38] regarding tariffs and as you already mentioned, there is a response from [00:24:42] China, but we can see that the response [00:24:46] is much more subtle, why, because it's not a [00:24:50] blunt instrument, but a scalpel, there are six [00:24:53] companies that are linked and justified with a [00:24:57] policy contrary to China's security [00:25:00] and restrictions are being placed [00:25:03] on the exports of [00:25:06] products that contribute to the maintenance and technological reinforcement [00:25:10] of drones that had previously [00:25:13] been sanctioned in 2025 in December [00:25:17] by the United States, so there are... policies and a [00:25:21] diplomacy that tells you that it's with much [00:25:24] more detail and that's what needs to be [00:25:28] done when you have real diplomacy and we see the United States' [00:25:32] diplomacy cabinet and it is far from [00:25:35] benefiting collective interests, well China [00:25:38] has done well, now tell us what [00:25:41] you saw there, well, look, it's a [00:25:44] trip I took, a trip that, without [00:25:47] exaggerating, I... Yes, I come with a [00:25:50] future perspective that is [00:25:52] quite [00:25:55] excited to analyze because it is a real alternative, [00:25:59] that is, China is a country that is building its [00:26:03] own world, we are living in a world [00:26:07] built precisely by the United States and its [00:26:10] European precedents, as a reference, uh-huh, as [00:26:13] a reference, but we realize that in this [00:26:16] geoeconomic and geopolitical [00:26:20] order there are alternatives and it [00:26:23] made me reflect a lot on our country and also look at [00:26:26] the conditions we have here in Mexico, China [00:26:30] is growing in a way. it was linked [00:26:36] and I remembered where our Indo-American routes are [00:26:40] that were part of this historical recovery [00:26:43] of boosting different markets, the [00:26:47] hegemony that was implemented from the 20th century, [00:26:50] so it is a country that gives a lot to [00:26:54] analyze here in [00:26:56] the West, because it has a [00:26:59] security policy that is [00:27:03] palpable due to the political centrality it manages, but with [00:27:07] economic planning and with [00:27:09] palpable growth [00:27:13] is also challenging this world [00:27:17] order that is already obsolete, which was the one that [00:27:20] was erected in the 20th century, so it is very [00:27:22] important that the audience and that we [00:27:26] here are reflecting on these alternatives, especially [00:27:29] if we are also in a process of transformation [00:27:33] also of ties with other [00:27:36] countries, for example the case of Brazil in energy [00:27:40] matters, it is very attractive and important to [00:27:43] promote because it speaks of an energy [00:27:46] strategy from state platforms [00:27:50] expressed in companies that are [00:27:53] precisely producers of energy, but that are [00:27:57] under a logic of public policy for [00:28:00] the benefit of the [00:28:03] Therefore, these aspects of the international order are [00:28:06] fundamental to avoid these speculative [00:28:09] risks that, as is sometimes mentioned, are like [00:28:13] this troubled waters, fishermen's gain, [00:28:17] but here a few are fishing for fortunes at the expense of the [00:28:21] well-being of humanity, you were talking about [00:28:24] this memorandum of understanding between Pemex and [00:28:27] Petrobras that precisely aims to [00:28:30] build this [00:28:32] self-sufficiency where we do not depend on prices from other [00:28:36] places and have this South-South cooperation which is [00:28:39] very important, breaking with the asymmetries that [00:28:42] we have inherently in our [00:28:46] development, [00:29:07] received Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Secretary [00:29:11] of State of the Vatican, at the National Palace, during the [00:29:15] meeting, topics such as the first encyclical of Pope Leo [00:29:18] XIV, which reflects on the ethical criteria in the use of [00:29:22] artificial intelligence, were discussed, this in the framework of the national discussion [00:29:25] for the regulation of social networks and [00:29:29] artificial intelligence in schools. [00:29:33] Today, the Pope also represents a [00:29:36] vision of a debate that we have been [00:29:40] having here related to [00:29:43] digital platforms and artificial [00:29:47] intelligence, the encyclical that he published [00:29:51] a few months ago [00:29:54] is a global [00:29:57] reference for a debate on [00:30:00] who controls those platforms, who [00:30:03] defines the [00:30:06] content, how [00:30:09] algorithms are designed and [00:30:12] where we are going as humanity, [00:30:15] they also talked about the calls the pontiff has made for peace and closeness [00:30:19] to the most vulnerable sectors of the population, [00:30:22] previously the president reiterated the invitation for Pope Leo [00:30:26] XIV to visit our country [00:30:27] and [00:30:30] amidst a new escalation in arrests by ICE, [00:30:34] agents of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement [00:30:38] once again broke their record of detentions, reaching nearly [00:30:42] 51,000 people in July, the highest monthly figure [00:30:45] since the creation of the DHS. In June, this [00:30:49] figure, which was already very high, was around 43,000 [00:30:53] detentions. Last month, operations also reached [00:30:56] airports, where more than 30 people were arrested and.
