[00:00:00] and we practically removed all [00:00:03] the requirements to obtain a loan, for [00:00:06] example there was one that I particularly disliked [00:00:10] because it was the credit bureau, if [00:00:13] someone, some right-holder, arrived at Infonavit and requested a [00:00:17] loan, Infonavit would go to the credit bureau to see [00:00:21] if the right-holder had paid the installment of the [00:00:24] Italika motorcycle they had bought, [00:00:27] and if they had not paid on time, they [00:00:30] would be marked and the loan amount [00:00:34] would be reduced. The same happened with phone bills, with [00:00:37] products sold by [00:00:40] public school. With individuals. Infonavit had we make calls for almost become an [00:00:45] week, due to instrument of private companies to collect. That [00:00:48] was one of the ones we removed [00:00:50] but even within immediately. Why are we going to infringe on the right of beneficiaries [00:00:54] to housing? [00:00:58] The beneficiary has the right to a house, but not to a [00:01:01] motorcycle. So we removed that, just as we removed [00:01:05] 29 more, and today there are only [00:01:08] three. They are not requirements, [00:01:12] they are conditions: being a beneficiary, [00:01:15] having contributed for 6 months, [00:01:18] and not [00:01:21] owning a home. And with these requirements, today a young person of [00:01:25] 18 years, or any beneficiary, [00:01:29] can come to Fonabit, identify [00:01:33] themselves, and be given an amount, because the loan [00:01:36] amount was also increased. Before, it was not enough. They were given a [00:01:40] sufficient loan amount, [00:01:42] equal to the cost of housing, which was [00:01:46] another great [00:01:49] irresponsibility in achievement of the president, because [00:01:52] the idea was that housing should be [00:01:56] accessible to these people who earn less. [00:01:59] And so the average loan amount [00:02:03] for beneficiaries [00:02:05] earning between one and [00:02:08] 2.9 minimum wages is around 650,000 [00:02:12] pesos on average, [00:02:16] and we are delivering [00:02:18] these houses to beneficiaries for [00:02:21] 627 pesos. [00:02:24] So, the loan amount that an [00:02:29] teachers for help, while the average 18-year-old receives, but also a 50-year-old, is of that [00:02:33] magnitude, and it is perfectly enough for them to acquire [00:02:36] housing. [00:02:43] Now that they have been saying, because [00:02:45] there are [00:02:49] to what critics that I laughed at what Anabel [00:02:51] Hernández said. This is how it [00:02:54] is: let's see what we invent this week. [00:02:58] No, this past week, that the INE is not autonomous, no, no, [00:03:02] well, the INE was not touched, [00:03:04] privileged the interests of but now they criticize the INE. [00:03:06] Well, that's this week's. Let's see what other [00:03:10] one they come up with. So, these [00:03:13] weeks it came out or has [00:03:16] come out that there is a lot of [00:03:19] overdue portfolio at Infonavit, as [00:03:22] Octavio already explained, there is less overdue portfolio than [00:03:25] before, but that overdue portfolio had to [00:03:29] do with the type of houses that were built and the type [00:03:32] of loans that were given in the past. So [00:03:36] the type of houses were houses of 40 m2 [00:03:40] located far from [00:03:43] the urban area. I know a case, for [00:03:47] example, of a young man who acquired an Infonavit [00:03:52] you need help, call the life loan. He lives in Tlalpan, that's why I know him. I was [00:03:55] we maintain the a delegate of Tlalpan, and they [00:03:58] gave him a house in... [00:04:02] tiny. So in the end, he [00:04:05] was able to say in time, "No, I don't want the loan," and he did [00:04:09] not take it. But many people with the idea that, well, maybe [00:04:13] someday I'll go live there. In the end, [00:04:16] it's too far for them, they don't have the way to access it, but also it was not in the [00:04:20] city of Querétaro to be able to change jobs, but in a [00:04:24] place very far from the urban area, [00:04:27] many times without services. [00:04:31] We are still working on the issue of abandoned [00:04:35] purchases, speaking of homes. But even so, it has decreased, even with the [00:04:39] decrease in loans, people are paying, [00:04:43] because before they would say, "Why should I pay if I'm never going to finish paying the [00:04:46] loan?" And now that they have been reduced, [00:04:49] they are paying. But there is something more [00:04:52] important: it is deducted from their [00:04:55] paycheck, [00:04:58] the loan. [00:05:00] That's how Infonavit is built, that's the vision, that's the [00:05:04] design. If you [00:05:07] after a BYD work in a place where you affiliate with Infonavit and acquire [00:05:11] a loan for a home, [00:05:13] for well-being or another type of loan, [00:05:17] from your own paycheck, from your own payroll, it will be [00:05:20] deducted according to the loan you [00:05:24] requested. In this case, they are paying [00:05:27] monthly 1, 2 pesos [00:05:30] of the 9,500, a little over [00:05:32] 9,500 pesos that a person earning the [00:05:36] minimum wage has, for example. So they have to pay for the next [00:05:39] 15 years monthly 1,500, [00:05:42] 2,000, which is something that is [00:05:45] accessible for them. But also it is deducted. [00:05:49] Suppose they no longer have a job, they are given [00:05:52] time to find a new job to be able to pay again. [00:05:56] These loans have insurance, and if it's a [00:06:00] young person, they will most likely find another job [00:06:03] very soon, and in the other job where they have Infonavit, it will [00:06:07] continue to be deducted. So all this idea of [00:06:11] putting limitations and limitations and [00:06:14] limitations, what ended up happening is that very few people [00:06:18] had access, and the loans were also designed so that they could [00:06:22] never be paid. So the whole new design, [00:06:26] it's even very nice to listen to people, [00:06:29] because if you have a video there, Octavio, of those we have [00:06:33] seen in the deliveries where the testimonials say [00:06:37] that Infonavit changed because now they treat [00:06:41] me well. I go to the offices and they treat me [00:06:44] well, they explain to me, I quickly access the [00:06:48] loan, for me it's incredible, I thought it would never [00:06:51] happen. Very, very nice [00:06:54] stories, and the way we are doing it makes [00:06:58] sense, there is no [00:07:01] the way the loans are being given, but rather the opposite, [00:07:04] to recover the origin of what Infonavit was, which is [00:07:08] to give housing to workers, not a loan [00:07:12] that is payable and a house that they could never live [00:07:15] in. Thank you very much, President. [00:07:19] Well, let's go this way. [00:07:20] Let's see [00:07:24] the colleague. [00:07:29] Good morning, President Jareta Arciniega from Revista [00:07:32] Fortuna. Madam President, regarding this same topic, in Revista [00:07:36] Fortuna we also realized a phenomenon that [00:07:39] my generation experiences, [00:07:42] which is that many, [00:07:46] many young people could not access housing, they had no other [00:07:49] way to access housing than by waiting for a [00:07:53] loved one to pass away and inherit these [00:07:57] houses, whether it was their parents or their grandparents. What [00:08:01] does it mean to you that now a public [00:08:04] policy gives access to more [00:08:07] than millions of young people [00:08:10] when the neoliberal [00:08:13] model real [00:08:17] estate companies? [00:08:19] Well, it's about accessing a [00:08:22] right. That was the constitutional change [00:08:25] we made and also the change in the housing [00:08:28] law. Throughout the neoliberal [00:08:31] period, rights were converted into [00:08:35] privileges, education, access to [00:08:38] health. Now that I went to Yucatán, people are happy [00:08:42] because they no longer pay, because before they used to pay to a health [00:08:46] center. All the cash registers in health [00:08:49] centers and hospitals disappeared, and little [00:08:52] by little they are functioning better, in addition to the [00:08:55] Lorán Hospital, the Lorán that is already [00:08:58] functioning. But we [00:09:01] recovered the essence that there are [00:09:04] people's rights. What does right mean? [00:09:08] That we all have the right to well-being. [00:09:12] And what is well-being? Well, it's having the [00:09:15] essential [00:09:17] things to be able to develop. What is essential? [00:09:21] Well, if you live in a city, because it's different from living [00:09:25] in the countryside, that your children can [00:09:28] be educated [00:09:30] accessibly, free, from primary to [00:09:33] university, as a right, that they [00:09:37] can access if you get sick to [00:09:41] a health center, to a hospital for [00:09:44] free, that you can access housing [00:09:47] loans with all the [00:09:51] services, that you have a [00:09:55] healthy diet, that you can access a healthy [00:09:58] diet, [00:10:00] the minimum essential things that allow you [00:10:03] well-being, [00:10:06] because sometimes we talk about freedom, but if there is no well-being, [00:10:10] it is difficult to access all... freedoms. [00:10:12] libertades, [00:10:15] So we consider housing, education, health, [00:10:18] a right of the people of Mexico, the pension, senior [00:10:21] citizen, a right of the people of Mexico. And [00:10:25] we are advancing in accessing these rights, contrary to what happened [00:10:29] before. For a young person, [00:10:32] accessing a home was [00:10:35] almost impossible. Homes of 4, [00:10:38] 5, 6 million pesos with salaries of one [00:10:42] minimum wage, two minimum wages, and also the minimum [00:10:45] wage was 2,500 pesos per month. [00:10:48] Well, when? Impossible. [00:10:52] So the rent for what you can afford is for [00:10:55] a rent of 500 pesos in a room where the whole [00:10:59] family lives. And that well-being is [00:11:02] dignity too. [00:11:05] So it's very nice to see how young people, [00:11:09] young people [00:11:12] of 19, 20, 22 years old, or young people who already [00:11:15] have their family, [00:11:18] even if only one works or two work or only the woman works, we have [00:11:22] seen families where... where he has a disability [00:11:26] problem, she supports the [00:11:29] family. I saw a case of a woman who [00:11:33] works in a pharmacy, she, she works in the [00:11:37] pharmacy, and for the first time their [00:11:40] lives are illuminated because they can have access to [00:11:43] their own home. [00:11:47] So it's very [00:11:49] beautiful what happens with families, [00:11:53] and it's that, accessing a... right to well-being, to [00:11:56] happiness, which is ultimately the ultimate [00:11:59] goal of a government, the happiness of the people. [00:12:02] Why is this important for the growth and development of a country, [00:12:06] Madam President? Now they also have the chant that [00:12:10] growth, growth, growth, growth, that's fine, [00:12:14] well, eh, there is also a whole [00:12:18] debate on growth and the environmental [00:12:21] impacts of growth, there is a whole current of thought, [00:12:25] hm, that talks about how growth is not [00:12:29] necessarily something we should continue to pursue. Well, the [00:12:32] rector of UNAM has a book, an article on [00:12:36] that, on growth and really if [00:12:40] growth is [00:12:43] the indicator and all those who work on the environmental [00:12:46] footprint say that growth, that we cannot [00:12:50] continue to grow because the environmental impact will be very large, [00:12:54] but well, eh, beyond the [00:12:58] fact that we should have greater [00:13:01] growth, let's suppose that we agree on that, [00:13:05] the problem is not only growth but also the distribution of [00:13:08] wealth. [00:13:11] During the period of President López Obrador, the GDP [00:13:14] grew at 0 point [00:13:16] 1%, [00:13:19] because among other things, because there was [00:13:22] a year where... or because of the [00:13:26] pandemic, then due to the [00:13:30] measures that had to be taken for isolation, [00:13:33] then production stopped and therefore the GDP fell by about [00:13:37] 8%. [00:13:39] So if you take the average, it's about 1%, 1 and [00:13:43] a bit percent, and yet 13.5 [00:13:47] million families escaped poverty, [00:13:50] unlike in other periods where it has grown more, it did not decrease. [00:13:54] And also inequality decreased, [00:13:58] inequalities decreased. [00:14:01] What happened? Wealth was [00:14:03] distributed [00:14:05] through at least three mechanisms. [00:14:08] One, the salary. [00:14:12] By increasing the salary, wealth is [00:14:14] distributed, [00:14:16] because if the same is produced and everything stays [00:14:20] in a few hands and is not distributed to the workers, [00:14:24] then there is no distribution. The salary is one [00:14:28] of the factors of wealth distribution. [00:14:30] So the salary increase [00:14:33] distributes. Welfare programs distribute [00:14:37] wealth, [00:14:39] as do public works because employment is generated, [00:14:43] and private investment also obviously generates [00:14:46] employment, but it is well-paid employment. [00:14:50] So what happened, why did poverty decrease? Well, [00:14:53] because there was more distribution. So it is not only [00:14:56] growth, we must talk about development. [00:15:00] So for a family to have a [00:15:04] home and also generate employment [00:15:06] and development in a certain [00:15:10] area, well, obviously, [00:15:13] it helps the whole country. Thank you very much, Madam President. [00:15:16] Last week, precisely on this topic, the issue of the [00:15:20] OECD's statements was also discussed, and we [00:15:24] would like to highlight this statement that was made in the video we [00:15:27] saw right here, that sometimes not falling [00:15:30] when the wind is against you is also a [00:15:34] great achievement. Without a doubt, what that [00:15:38] message left us with is that something is being done [00:15:42] well, Madam President. In [00:15:45] economics, we would like to ask, will we have a [00:15:49] diagnosis similar to the one we had with the PISA [00:15:53] test, eh, when we see that we are not [00:15:56] falling, that Mexico is resisting [00:16:00] these geopolitical pressures, and that while other countries [00:16:03] offer their sovereignty, in [00:16:05] Mexico, well, this economic package that was presented [00:16:09] a few days ago, it shields and [00:16:12] strengthens it. [00:16:17] The PISA test, in addition to what [00:16:19] I maintain, we do not agree with the PISA test, [00:16:23] because of how it is applied, [00:16:28] the PISA test they recognize [00:16:32] strengths of education in Mexico that are not recognized in [00:16:35] other countries. [00:16:37] We mentioned it the other day very [00:16:40] quickly: [00:16:47] reduction of educational [00:16:48] inequalities. [00:16:51] Between 2015 and 2025, the number of 15-year-old [00:16:55] eligible students to take the PISA test [00:16:58] increased, meaning more students at that [00:17:01] educational level. In science, the gap between [00:17:05] favored and disadvantaged students [00:17:07] is smaller. In Mexico, [00:17:11] education, as Morelos dreamed, public [00:17:14] education is equal for the landowner and for the [00:17:18] peasant. It's not that we are against private [00:17:22] education, it's good that it exists and that [00:17:25] there are people who can send their children to a private school, [00:17:29] that's very good, but our obligation is that public [00:17:33] school be the best and it already is. [00:17:38] Even better than private schools, [00:17:41] and many will be writing right now, [00:17:43] I maintain it, and also the [00:17:47] test says it, Mario showed it to me the other day, that [00:17:51] the best qualified schools were [00:17:53] public. [00:17:58] Well, [00:18:00] go ahead. [00:18:03] 82% ask their [00:18:07] is 77%. 86% turn to [00:18:11] their peers for help, when the [00:18:14] average is 82%. [00:18:16] Go ahead. In [00:18:19] science, there is greater interest in [00:18:22] learning. Look, 81% in Mexico, [00:18:25] 69% the OECD average. The teacher [00:18:29] continues teaching until the students [00:18:32] understand, [00:18:34] 77% compared to 66%. The [00:18:37] teacher provides additional help when students need it, [00:18:41] 82% compared to 73%. [00:18:45] These are great strengths of public education, [00:18:48] of education in Mexico, very, very great. [00:18:52] So [00:18:54] eh, and there is always room for improvement, [00:18:57] always, but eh, this [00:19:01] is not taken into account by those who are only looking to find [00:19:05] how to attack. How bad [00:19:08] they are. Stop so much negative thinking, [00:19:12] start being a little more positive. [00:19:16] Well, all [00:19:19] this, I repeat, [00:19:22] the new rights generate greater [00:19:26] well-being. What happens in the [00:19:29] economy? Well, [00:19:33] model for the good of all, first the [00:19:36] poor. Or shared prosperity, because there is no [00:19:40] prosperity if it is not shared, and that [00:19:43] strengthens us. And we also decided to invest [00:19:47] in infrastructure [00:19:50] through different mechanisms. So [00:19:54] that automotive [00:19:57] production has fallen a bit is true, a product of [00:20:00] US tariffs, [00:20:04] and not only tariffs but also [00:20:07] a drop in demand in the United States for car [00:20:13] vehicle exports. Tariffs on [00:20:16] steel have also affected [00:20:18] it, and its derivatives have also been [00:20:22] affected. What we decided [00:20:25] was to continue talking with the United States [00:20:29] to seek a better condition, and also jobs and [00:20:33] exports in other areas such as [00:20:37] electronics have increased. [00:20:39] So there has been a trade-off, but we decided [00:20:42] to strongly promote construction, and one of them is housing construction. Let's see if you can put [00:20:46] the growth of construction that came out I think yesterday or [00:20:50] the day before that drives the secondary [00:20:54] sector. [00:21:04] private and public schools in Mexico before and [00:21:07] after controlling for the effect of socioeconomic [00:21:11] level, meaning if the socioeconomic [00:21:14] situation of [00:21:17] families is not taken into [00:21:20] account, without adjustment for socioeconomic level, the [00:21:23] private school has [00:21:26] 400, it is slightly higher than the [00:21:30] the adjustment for socioeconomic level, the [00:21:34] private school has a lower score than the [00:21:36] public school. [00:21:40] That is Mexico, those are the teachers [00:21:43] that were so [00:21:47] criticized during the neoliberal period. [00:21:50] Well, they made films to justify the education [00:21:54] reform, they dedicated themselves to [00:21:58] running a campaign against the [00:22:00] teaching profession, [00:22:04] and if public schools are good, it is thanks to the national [00:22:07] teaching profession. [00:22:10] Let's see, put the INEGI data, let's see if you [00:22:12] have it, but we will close [00:22:16] the year better, and next year, the first semester of 2027 will [00:22:20] be even better. What is missing, Madam President, for analysts [00:22:24] to recognize that the answer [00:22:28] is in the domestic market? [00:22:32] No, well, convincing two or three will be very [00:22:35] difficult, frankly. They have a [00:22:38] vision, that's how they [00:22:39] were formed, [00:22:43] so there is no way for them to deviate from their [00:22:45] scheme, and also they have a [00:22:49] goal, like the goal of many media outlets [00:22:53] in Mexico, which is to be [00:22:56] propaganda for the right. They are not [00:22:59] information media, they are [00:23:00] propaganda media. [00:23:05] Those are [00:23:07] eh, because you just have to look at the eight columns every day, something very [00:23:11] important happens in the country, that doesn't come out. Ah, [00:23:14] but this, distorting reality in a way [00:23:18] that fits their... propaganda, that [00:23:21] yes. In fact, right now I'm going to ask Octavio to clarify [00:23:25] his asset [00:23:27] declaration, [00:23:29] because they [00:23:32] seek [00:23:34] to distort everything and adapt it [00:23:39] they want, [00:23:42] to make political propaganda for the [00:23:45] right. Many media are like that, and the [00:23:48] commentators go along with it. [00:23:51] But also, as I repeat, they have a chat [00:23:55] where they discuss what everyone will [00:23:58] say this week. This week, the [00:24:02] INE, the INE is not an [00:24:05] institution that guarantees [00:24:08] clean elections. Now that's the chant they have now. [00:24:12] No, before the INE was not touched, and now no, [00:24:16] well, the INE is very bad. It was only good when [00:24:19] Lorenzo Córdoba was in charge. Now [00:24:21] no. [00:24:24] Eh, credible, or when, what's his name, [00:24:27] the one who committed fraud in 2006, [00:24:29] Ugalde. [00:24:32] Now Ugalde is the defender of [00:24:35] democracy, the one who was in charge of the INE during the [00:24:39] electoral fraud of [00:24:40] 2006. [00:24:44] So, it will be difficult to change [00:24:48] the perspective [00:24:50] of many analysts, because they have a [00:24:52] goal: [00:24:55] to return to the past, that is their goal, to return to the [00:24:59] past of corruption and privileges. That is the [00:25:03] goal. And what do we do? We spread, [00:25:06] we talk, why am I going to give an account to [00:25:10] all entities? Well, so that what we are doing in all [00:25:14] federal entities is heard, [00:25:16] because if it's only through social networks or through the [00:25:20] media, they will hardly find [00:25:23] out, although there is also a lot of [00:25:25] diverse information on networks, [00:25:29] although [00:25:31] sometimes there are also campaigns, as we have [00:25:35] discussed here. So that people have the [00:25:37] different perspectives. [00:25:39] Always, [00:25:43] Madam President, this weekend, taking [00:25:47] advantage of the presence of the head of Profeco, this [00:25:50] week, this weekend, a regrettable [00:25:53] event occurred: two people lost their lives [00:25:57] car, which is a [00:26:00] brand, caught fire after a collision with [00:26:03] another car. The occupant lost [00:26:07] their life, Madam President. Taking advantage of the [00:26:10] Profeco's presence in Revista Fortuna, we would like to ask you how the [00:26:14] Attorney's Office is observing the regrettable event and if these [00:26:18] cars will be recalled. In the [00:26:38] thank you, with your permission, Madam President. review [00:26:42] constantly, at least three recalls a [00:26:47] two ways: first, the provider itself [00:26:51] requests our support because in the studies they [00:26:54] conduct daily on their models, [00:26:57] they discover a generalized fault, and [00:27:00] second, from studies that we have or that other [00:27:04] institutions share with us, we make these calls for review. In this particular [00:27:08] case, since there [00:27:10] is a loss of life [00:27:14] and there is an investigation file, as soon as the corresponding [00:27:18] authority requests us to make a statement, we will [00:27:21] analyze and check if we have any recall on these particular [00:27:25] models to see what [00:27:35] Well, as the president pointed out last [00:27:39] week, I was subjected [00:27:42] to this smear campaign by some media [00:27:46] outlets, particularly [00:27:49] Reforma, Proyecto Reforma, El Universal, and TV [00:27:53] Azteca, who didn't like something about [00:27:56] this government and are looking [00:28:00] for and launched a campaign. [00:28:02] The first saying that the director of Infonavit [00:28:06] earned more than the president of the republic, [00:28:10] it's so easy for a journalist, for any of you [00:28:13] in these governments of the fourth [00:28:16] transformation, to verify, because everything [00:28:19] is published on the federal government [00:28:22] pages. I have a salary equivalent to a [00:28:26] sub-secretary of state, that can be [00:28:29] verified without any problem, and the president's [00:28:33] salary is also published, something that was [00:28:37] not done in the neoliberal era. In these [00:28:39] 4T governments, everything is published, it was so [00:28:43] simple, [00:28:46] but they invented, they felt like [00:28:48] saying that the director of Infonavit [00:28:52] earned more than the president. Well, it's clear [00:28:55] now. Yesterday I made a [00:28:58] denial [00:29:00] in the sense that my salary is [00:29:02] that I am Maines, Jorge Maines and I believe in Mexico, [00:29:06] that's why I travel Mexico from north to south, from the Gulf of Mexico to the Sea of [00:29:10] Cortés, creo en el México joven, en el México [00:29:13] sabio, en el México que tiene memoria y el México que [00:29:17] the streets, the squares, the [00:29:21] markets and the universities of Mexico, because with you a [00:29:25] new Mexico is possible, it's time to [00:29:28] believe. [00:29:31] Citizen Movement. [00:29:34] Crystal breaks your [00:29:35] body, [00:29:38] destroys your mind, pushes you away, shatters your [00:29:42] family, [00:29:45] crystal breaks your [00:29:47] life, [00:29:50] choose to be happy, if [00:29:54] line [00:29:55] 800-911 [00:29:59] government of Mexico. [00:30:02] 42 years ago, other [00:30:06] lands I acquired in [00:30:09] 1992, [00:30:12] 34 [00:30:13] years ago, [00:30:17] so these in their criticism, [00:30:21] in their perverse campaign [00:30:22] uh, [00:30:25] they treat it as if I had acquired them yesterday, [00:30:28] as if it had been a month ago. [00:30:32] When they are 42 [00:30:35] and 34 years since I acquired them, I wasn't even in public [00:30:38] service, I was dedicated [00:30:42] to private [00:30:45] activities, they also refer to a [00:30:48] house in Tlalpan that [00:30:52] I acquired 25 [00:30:55] years ago with a loan from [00:30:58] Banamex.
