00:00:00of Mexico, 42
00:00:03years ago, other lands
00:00:07I acquired them in
00:00:091992
00:00:13of the 34 years ago,
00:00:17so these in their criticism, in
00:00:21their perverse campaign eh,
00:00:25they manage it as if I had acquired it yesterday,
00:00:28as if... I have been a month
00:00:30ago when they have
00:00:3342 and 34 years that I
00:00:36acquired them, I wasn't even
00:00:39raises the level of in public service, I was dedicated
00:00:42to private
00:00:45activities, they also refer to a
00:00:48house in Tlalpan that
00:00:52I acquired 25 years ago
00:00:55with a credit with
00:00:58Banamex.
00:01:01and all that they
00:01:02continue to comply with put it as if I bought it in
00:01:06cash, as if it were
00:01:08the product of embezzlement of
00:01:12funds, of a corrupt
00:01:14act, and I take this opportunity,
00:01:18thank you president, to tell you that we are not all equal, they are corrupt
00:01:22who dedicate themselves to lying and get paid for
00:01:25it, we are not all equal, I have
00:01:29how... the little I have or what
00:01:32I have and they also
00:01:36talk about a couple of apartments of 74
00:01:39m that I signed a
00:01:42purchase agreement for those apartments on
00:01:46March 9, 2018 why
00:01:49a purchase agreement because the
00:01:53the population, even building was being built, they were in the foundations and
00:01:56these pre-purchase methods that
00:01:59one eh makes the commitment, are cheaper
00:02:03and were
00:02:05in some places it started with finished building 2 years later, and
00:02:08I went to the bank to Vancommer, in the case of
00:02:11the house in Tlalpan, which I acquired 25 years ago, I
00:02:15took out the credit with Banamex, these two
00:02:18apartments, 2 years after I signed
00:02:21that eh, I went with Bancommer and
00:02:25took out mortgage loans for both apartments,
00:02:28but... They say that I acquired them in
00:02:32cash, as if I had the
00:02:34money, there was
00:02:37it, then the vast majority of one of the media outlets, TV Azteca, this
00:02:41Mr. La Torre eh who
00:02:45claimed that I had
00:02:4850 million pesos to
00:02:51spend and that where I had
00:02:54gotten it
00:02:56and that is a lie, absolutely a lie.
00:03:01eh they dared to say
00:03:04that I was hiding
00:03:06because it does not appear in my
00:03:09declaration that I was hiding
00:03:12cars, jewelry
00:03:14and works of art,
00:03:18in my life, I don't have a car, I have had
00:03:22a car, at this moment I don't have a car, never
00:03:25ever in my life have I bought jewelry,
00:03:28but I don't come from a family with those customs or with that
00:03:32socioeconomic level, I am not
00:03:34used to that, I have never bought jewelry and
00:03:38works of art much less,
00:03:40but where did they get it from, well, from the fact that they didn't see it in the
00:03:43box of the asset declaration and it
00:03:47was very easy for them
00:03:49to invent, all this we
00:03:53clarified yesterday,
00:03:56starts the we published a statement to public opinion,
00:04:00and a video where I explain
00:04:04all this in detail because
00:04:07it is eh these current
00:04:10media
00:04:12a factor in eh have perverted, have
00:04:14degenerated the job of communicating to
00:04:18people and as it is about hitting,
00:04:23because from as it is about defaming, as it is about they have
00:04:25not liked this program of the president
00:04:28of
00:04:30housing for well-being,
00:04:33down, that's what so angry, because this evidently
00:04:36has brought us, well I
00:04:38to produce housing or understand, good things that are helping people and we have
00:04:42to find a way to distort,
00:04:46even be able to build what to point out that there are acts of corruption,
00:04:48and I take this opportunity to tell you again, we are not
00:05:07president, we visited the Coyoacán utopia, which now
00:05:11provides public services. the population
00:05:14is in a building that before
00:05:16was eh housed the Banco del
00:05:20Atlántico which was chaired by Carlos Savedró, who was
00:05:22also president
00:05:25eh the president of the bankers during the banking crisis
00:05:29of López Portillo, the spaces of this building, president, are
00:05:33enormous and provide services such as
00:05:37therapies, eh health services,
00:05:39dining room,
00:05:42eh, care services are now provided to the
00:05:45population, eh, children, adults, seniors
00:05:49who are looking for a safe place to have
00:05:53a safe space. The Coyoacán utopia, president, tells
00:05:56us how the economy transformed into an approach
00:06:00to benefit certain vulnerable
00:06:03groups, people who were never seen
00:06:07by neoliberal governments, will it be
00:06:10president, that if we.
00:06:15the issue of the Debroa debts,
00:06:23about the Debroa, I promised you that the
00:06:27Secretary of Finance will come when the reports are finished,
00:06:31that property,
00:06:34I know it because I lived very
00:06:36close by
00:06:39in the San Lucas neighborhood in Coyoacán during my adolescence.
00:06:42I already lived there with my parents and
00:06:45the corner was the parián, it was a
00:06:48self-service store
00:06:51at the time, then
00:06:58Rojo was mayor of Coyoacán,
00:07:02she acquired that property, she
00:07:04had the idea that the main property of the
00:07:07mayor's office, the one in the center of Tlalpan, would be a
00:07:10museum and that the offices would go there, but
00:07:14people didn't like it, there was social conflict, it wasn't a bad idea, but
00:07:18people didn't like it, those who lived around because there is a school there,
00:07:22this the hospital for the blind, in short,
00:07:25so they thought there would be too much traffic in that
00:07:28area, and it remained abandoned
00:07:30for a long time, eh, then what we wanted
00:07:34to do was a pilares, which are the projects that
00:07:37we designed when I was there and now Clara has already
00:07:40converted it into a utopia and people are very happy, honestly,
00:07:44so that's
00:07:47good for Coyoacán, for the city and for the
00:08:00Rodríguez from Chapucero and from Izquierda Noticias, speaking of
00:08:04well, the hoaxes of the week, I also want to comment on one that was launched a few
00:08:08days ago, the portal of Carmen Aristegui
00:08:11this note is published on this portal, a note that refers
00:08:15to another media outlet, News
00:08:18Nation, and this media refers to a
00:08:22State Department document that nobody knows, and that
00:08:25State Department document refers to a poll that nobody
00:08:29knows either, it has no sources
00:08:32or company or nothing,
00:08:36but this poll published like this responds,
00:08:40it says that the majority of Mexicans
00:08:43agree to foreign intervention in our
00:08:46country, even extrajudicial, that
00:08:50foreigners precisely enter to combat criminal cartels
00:08:54and Mexicans agree on this reason, but it is built like
00:08:58this, no, a poll that nobody sees through
00:09:01a right-wing American
00:09:04portal through this Carmen Aristegui report,
00:09:08well, Carmen Aristegui's portal, what do you think about this
00:09:12president?
00:09:19it here, wanting Mexico to be
00:09:25the November US election,
00:09:29because this type of news that
00:09:32has no basis, at least its
00:09:35source is
00:09:37dubious,
00:09:40can impact Mexico. not so much the truth because
00:09:44it is so absurd that it really doesn't impact,
00:09:47but they want to impact the United States,
00:09:50eh, that's the first thing, and as we have always
00:09:54said, the issue of the US
00:09:57election, let them define it there, Mexico does not have to be
00:10:00a factor in their election, we are
00:10:02not a piñata nor
00:10:06a matter of the Americans,
00:10:10eh, we collaborate, we coordinate, there are 40 million Mexicans
00:10:13there, many of them with dual nationality
00:10:17and obviously we have a lot in common, but the US
00:10:21election is defined by the US problem.
00:10:25and in any case what proposals they have, that
00:10:28is our point of
00:10:38later a note came out, I asked
00:10:42the General Secretary
00:10:44today because a note came out from the North
00:10:47Command saying that the coordination with
00:10:51Mexico is extraordinary, the North Command is
00:10:55the US Army, so the US Army
00:10:59says: we coordinate very well with Mexico, they release
00:11:02it, and according to this note, the
00:11:06work done in Mexico is very bad, it is
00:11:08terrible, everything they have said and therefore
00:11:12the United States should intervene in Mexico, but also Mexicans agree,
00:11:15and then it was published in a national
00:11:18media, so it is part of
00:11:22this.
00:11:25information, in quotation marks, that only seeks
00:11:28to provoke internally,
00:11:32now we can look for polls
00:11:35to see, we look
00:11:37for
00:11:40one, do you remember president, that those who agree to
00:11:44US intervention and more than
00:11:4770% are against,
00:11:50so it's absurd, it's truly
00:11:53absurd, it's before coming and not
00:11:57just 9% agree
00:11:59to an intervention like the one that, well
00:12:0281% against, exactly, yes, in this
00:12:06case, the truth is that's why it's called it's a madness and what's also interesting
00:12:10president is that 91%, I'm sorry, 91%, yes
00:12:13only 9% would be, and what's interesting,
00:12:17however, president, is that a former director or former head of the
00:12:20DEA refers to a source and the source
00:12:24is, as strange as it may seem, Simon Levi, a poll that
00:12:28this great mythomaniac publishes, honestly, and he refers
00:12:32to this, I'm not saying it's the direct source of Carmen
00:12:35Aristegui's portal, and I want to comment on it, but yes, at the same time, president, it also
00:12:39comes out as part of a strategy to
00:12:43justify precisely that Mexicans
00:12:46are in favor of a foreign military intervention in our
00:13:02Mexicans, because of our history, because of what
00:13:05we are, because of our nationalist sense, because of
00:13:09the pride of being Mexicans and because they also see that work is being
00:13:13done, are against foreign
00:13:16intervention, whatever it may be, and particularly the United
00:13:19States, and we will always defend
00:13:23that there should be no intervention.
00:13:26eh, that there is no interference, that we only talk about
00:13:29coordination and also without
00:13:31subordination,
00:13:34eh, that will always be our position, by
00:13:37principle, by history, by conviction
00:13:40and because that is also what our
00:13:49one would have to ask
00:13:52that...
00:13:55to spread that Mexicans have another opinion,
00:13:58well, some sectors of the United States,
00:14:02to these, well, who are propaganda
00:14:06media of the right, who are looking for
00:14:09intervention,
00:14:12I said the other day it's incredible,
00:14:14imagine
00:14:16eh, that one of the political parties
00:14:21electoral moment in the country and they decide to go to Europe.
00:14:27It's really
00:14:28incredible,
00:14:33incredible, they are like the conservatives of the 19th
00:14:35century, they go to Europe, why do they go to
00:14:39Europe, so that from outside Mexico is influenced,
00:14:42México,
00:14:45the thing is that they are more and more liars
00:14:49and more and more people believe
00:14:52them less, there will be a
00:14:55saturation where they will lose rating, they will
00:14:59lose subscribers because
00:15:02they will be left with the percentage of those who want
00:15:05to listen to them,
00:15:26what do you think should be the participation of the United States,
00:15:29cooperation without subordination,
00:15:3250%. None, only the governments of Mexico
00:15:36should fight. 33% of
00:15:39intervention, the United States can carry out
00:15:41operations to detain or eliminate members of organized
00:15:45crime in the country, only
00:15:479%, don't know, no answer,
00:15:518%,
00:15:55well yes, the majority, the vast majority of Mexicans obviously do not want any type
00:15:58of foreign intervention and yes the coordination as you
00:16:08see it in a quick reflection what is happening in Mexico happens in South America in
00:16:12particular and I don't think it's just fake
00:16:16news as such traditional but it's a deliberate strategy
00:16:18where these factions
00:16:22factions of the
00:16:25US government, Republican oilmen
00:16:28financing sinister characters like
00:16:31this Mr. Fernando Cerimedo this Argentine to
00:16:35generate bot farms, generate. a trend with
00:16:38a purpose, not to distort, but to be able to
00:16:42influence regime changes to bring
00:16:45presidents or very close figures to
00:16:49these American factions and
00:16:52that they surrender sovereignty, surrender
00:16:55oil wealth, surrender lithium, surrender
00:16:58gold, so president, my question is, while
00:17:02obviously this is a media counterweight in the morning, are there
00:17:05diplomatic counterweights, no, could
00:17:09you see now that new artificial intelligence and social media
00:17:12laws are being promoted, a more intense,
00:17:16stronger legal and juridical shield, for example,
00:17:19there in Brazil there are
00:17:22decrees, eh, there are also resolutions of the Brazilian
00:17:26Supreme Court precisely that when they start
00:17:30to see this type of campaigns, they
00:17:33automatically send them to the platforms to close them
00:17:36and take them down, no, now. right now in Chile, after what happened with Cerimedo, there are
00:17:39initiatives so that there is even
00:17:43a penalty for the use of vote farms, that people go to jail,
00:17:46if it is indeed shown, here, president, do you see a
00:17:50scenario where there could be such a similar situation
00:17:54in these new reforms of
00:17:56social
00:18:00networks of artificial intelligence to precisely
00:18:03well yes, one thing is freedom of expression president, and well it's good that people
00:18:07have the right sometimes to say things, but this is not
00:18:10freedom of expression, this is a deliberate
00:18:13strategy, so to speak, of foreign intervention so
00:18:17that at the end of the day, here in Mexico, the far
00:18:21right governs, really governs a
00:18:25there is a kind of viceroy, so to speak, no, that we are again a
00:18:28colony, yes, it is a pending
00:18:32discussion, how to regulate
00:18:35social networks and artificial intelligence
00:18:39eh,
00:18:46it has its nuances,
00:18:55artificial intelligence, we put a norm in plan A that
00:18:59I sent that said, let it say in large letters that
00:19:02artificial intelligence in political campaigns
00:19:05and no, well, some
00:19:08parties did not want to vote for that
00:19:11reform,
00:19:16I think that it does need to be regulated, but there has to be a very
00:19:19broad discussion, what we do not want is for it to be
00:19:23taken as censorship by the
00:19:25government,
00:19:28because if it is already as if we censor, when we do not
00:19:31censor,
00:19:34then we do not want there to be now a discussion.
00:19:37that now in the middle of the electoral period, the
00:19:40censorship of the president, the
00:19:48from the morning conference, the right of reply and other
00:19:51mechanisms, well, is to disseminate what happens on social
00:19:55networks,
00:20:00the campaign I did from 24 to date, 2
00:20:04years, social networks have changed a lot. and
00:20:07there were already bots and there were already campaigns and, but now it's another
00:20:11thing, the
00:20:14issue
00:20:17of scrolling, as they call this anglicism of moving the
00:20:20screen permanently, of the videos that
00:20:23appear, of the algorithms
00:20:27linked to what you see, of the
00:20:29control that the owners of the
00:20:33platforms
00:20:36the complaints. that have been coming out from
00:20:40people who worked on the platforms
00:20:43saying that they are purposefully generating
00:20:47addiction to... products
00:20:51to content, well obviously it is
00:20:55something we have to discuss,
00:20:58so first we open the discussion about schools
00:21:02which is very important eh because
00:21:05even in this PISA test it was shown that in all countries in the world it has affected
00:21:08a lot eh platforms
00:21:11so the issue of schools but a discussion
00:21:15must necessarily be opened about the
00:21:18use of platforms.
00:21:20as a means of bought political
00:21:24campaign, the more money and the use of these
00:21:27bots eh and other mechanisms to
00:21:31influence through fake news
00:21:34on the conscience of people and they have been used
00:21:38in Latin America and in other
00:21:40countries, so I think that
00:21:44we should open a space for discussion, now
00:21:47well, the electoral period has already begun. I don't know if it can
00:22:01poll, more people are informed today by social networks
00:22:05than by television,
00:22:07in 2 years
00:22:09it changed, so
00:22:13eh, it is very relevant and the
00:22:16mechanisms that the international right uses to
00:22:20modify the opinion of people through fake
00:22:37well, first of all, it must be recognized, and I think it has not been recognized
00:22:40much honestly, this proposal that goes against the current, for
00:22:44example, in the United States, Canada and Europe where the majority of young people
00:22:48do not really have access
00:22:50to affordable housing at their age, they will probably never
00:22:54have housing, and the fact that here they do, whether it's 1, 18, 19, 20,
00:22:5725, is a very important thing, but at the same
00:23:01time, president, it somehow clashes with a new reality or
00:23:04vice of the new times, no, I call it the
00:23:08Mexican dream, the Mexican dream is
00:23:10to earn in dollars and spend in pesos
00:23:14and Mexico being a very friendly country to come to,
00:23:18we saw it in the World Cup, many want to come here.
00:23:20foreigners generating gentrification and
00:23:24at the same time also generating displacement, not
00:23:27of people in large cities like Mexico City but
00:23:31also in other places like Zapopan or Tijuana
00:23:34or in the Mayan Riviera, not
00:23:38of families who live there and then their rents are raised and at the same
00:23:42time, president, it combines with the appearance of more real estate
00:23:45cartels like the one in Mexico City but they also report that there are
00:23:49other similar schemes, similar, not necessarily
00:23:52identical, but also there in Jalisco, also in Baja
00:23:55California, that is, also in places where it is really arriving, that
00:23:59is, it is a new vice, so to speak, no, that is being
00:24:03faced, this particular
00:24:06situation, president, how to address it, because finally, I believe that after the
00:24:10World Cup, many more foreigners will come to live here and what happens and
00:24:14I my own sister lives here and they already asked her
00:24:17to leave, the rent is over and they are going to raise it by like 20,
00:24:2025%, no, and it's all legal, but well, it will happen and
00:24:24it is happening like this, how how, how do you see this
00:24:27situation,
00:24:31first it is important eh, because there are
00:24:34governments that promote gentrification
00:24:37and with corruption, as we denounced at the time when I was head of
00:24:41government, the real estate cartel of the Benito
00:24:44Juárez borough, that public officials enriched themselves
00:24:48from the use of land, essentially
00:24:52like that, in a few words,
00:24:54eh, how they asked for bribes,
00:24:57increasing the number of floors that could be built in a
00:25:01place, or allowing a building to be
00:25:04built, when in reality only a two-story
00:25:08house could be built,
00:25:11that is, let's say, the essence of the real estate cartel, violating the land
00:25:14use, from the
00:25:17bribe of the
00:25:20official
00:25:25eh, or even even
00:25:28threatening the real estate developer, if you don't
00:25:32comply with so many, then I'm going to shut you down and you won't
00:25:36you were going to build, that's the
00:25:38real estate cartel that developed here in Benito Juárez in Mexico
00:25:42City and indeed there are other places where
00:25:45it probably exists and in any case
00:25:48it has to be
00:25:51eh, but there are governments that do not promote
00:25:55gentrification, how do I know what gentrification
00:25:57is, removing those who lived
00:26:00originally in a place? and that people of another
00:26:04economic level arrive, with another type of constructions
00:26:08and that the housing is of
00:26:11such a price that only a percentage
00:26:15population can acquire it, that is, let's say, in a few words, the
00:26:18gentrification, many governments, not only
00:26:22from Mexico but from other places, for example, they used to
00:26:25raise the property tax in
00:26:28certain areas, so people can no longer pay their
00:26:31property tax. So they have to sell and
00:26:35whoever buys it helped
00:26:38by the government
00:26:41housing or land use, so it
00:26:45gentrifies certain areas here in Mexico
00:26:48City, well, for some time, at least since
00:26:51we arrived because, let's say, with Mancera, the
00:26:55real estate cartel developed to
00:26:57an impressive extent. When we arrived
00:27:01they even forced us to stop construction in the
00:27:04city, but we had to put things in order, because
00:27:08land use was really being violated, and people were very
00:27:11upset,
00:27:14and Clara is a head of government who is not in that
00:27:17dynamic and on the contrary is looking for this
00:27:20phenomenon not to happen in
00:27:41time, housing developers dedicated themselves to
00:27:44building housing above 5 million
00:27:48pesos, who
00:27:50can acquire a house above 5 million pesos? Well, only a very small sector of
00:27:56it was my turn as head of government to tell them, hey, build
00:27:59housing for one million pesos.
00:28:02Master plans were made,
00:28:08this and in other places they didn't want to, they said: no, no,
00:28:11we have business with 5 million, well, having
00:28:15a government social housing program,
00:28:18it turns out that
00:28:21private companies are already building
00:28:25social housing too,
00:28:28so they no longer only build 5 million, perhaps they are not
00:28:31600... because it is a special characteristic
00:28:35where municipalities, states donate the land
00:28:39to build housing, but these are already
00:28:42houses of one million 1,200, where other people
00:28:46can access through credits,
00:28:49so the interesting thing about this is that public
00:28:53housing has grown, it is this one
00:28:55here.
00:29:08this is the Infonavit, Foviste and Konami
00:29:12program, and this is private
00:29:14social
00:29:16housing, that is, a real estate developer who
00:29:20starts building housing for the access of more
00:29:33During neoliberalism,
00:29:36the objective was that the state should not intervene in anything, everything was the market, the
00:29:39market, the market, the market,
00:29:42I remember when President López Obrador was head of
00:29:46government in the city, they insisted a lot that he close the city's
00:29:50asphalt plant, he didn't close it,
00:29:53but he decided
00:29:56to modernize it,
00:29:58and when he modernized it, well, it had to be closed for about 4
00:30:01months, 5 months while it was
00:30:04being modernized, when the
00:30:07asphalt cubic meter
00:30:10was closed, it shot up in
00:30:13price,
00:30:17why didn't it have this other part
00:30:20of a mechanism where there would be public production of
00:30:24asphalt, and it is not subsidized, eh, public
00:30:28production, it is at cost, but
00:30:31then you already have a... competition where it pulls you
00:30:35is happening now, by the state
00:30:38entering
00:30:41having agreements with private companies for the production of
00:30:44social housing
00:30:47at a low cost, but dignified,
00:30:50well, then it pulls the others so that
00:30:54they also build housing,
00:30:58so the model does work.
