He's not the first, but AMLO's blatant lies about the impact of USMCA on his energy objective of making PEMEX and CFE the only energy players in the country.
He's a moron not because he is certain to lose, he's a moron because it's ENTIRELY AMLO's fault that the energy sector was included in the USMCA. Canada and the US energy sectors have been fully integrated for decades. The USMCA adds nothing to the Canada/USA ties in the sector.
No, this is a self-inflicted wound.
His latest is the most brazen way to increase corruption; there will be new "secret rules" for private enterprises to participate in his new green energy initiative, and these secret rules will be determined by government officials. I cannot think of a more perfect way to ensure that foreign participants bribe officials. It doesn't matter anyway, there is such a shortage of solar panels, batteries and other systems that companies will focus on other more promising markets. His green energy reform is DOA!
P.S. It will not matter to his electors; almost everything he's touched in his four-year presidency has been a disaster. From education reform, security, healthcare and medication, grift and corruption he's been a disaster. Despite all that Morena is even more popular! Go figure.
