Faithful to the tradition since the beginning of his government, the AMLO administration offered its daily conference in which officials explained progress in different projects and answered questions from the press.Here is the complete transcript of the conference that was broadcast live this day and published on the website of the Government of Mexico.2022: Year of Ricardo Flores Magón, precursor of the Mexican RevolutionPRESIDENT ANDRÉS MANUEL LÓPEZ OBRADOR: Good morning.Courage, courage, we are starting the week and, like every Monday, we are going with the Who's Who on Prices report with Ricardo Sheffield, Federal Consumer Attorney.And also see the videos, the progress of works, which is very important, of how these works are being carried out for the benefit of the country's development.RICARDO SHEFFIELD PADILLA, FEDERAL CONSUMER ATTORNEY: Thank you, Mr. President.Very good days.Very good morning to each and all of you.Who is who in the price of fuels;the average price.Last week for regular gasoline it was 22 pesos and five cents;that of Premium gasoline, pesos;and diesel, 23 pesos and 38 cents.This week everyone with the incentive of 100 to the special tax on products and services.If we make a cut on July 28, the barrel of the Mexican oil mixture, 95 dollars and 75 cents.We can see that the international market is still very irregular, many ups and downs;however, a downward trend, it is expected that by the end of the year oil will begin to normalize, hopefully so.Let's see which were the three brands that gave the worst prices, the most expensive in the country, were Akron, Redco and Arco, while the allies of consumers were, as in many weeks already in recent months, Total, G500 and Orsan.Let's now see it by region and by type of fuel.We have that in regular gasoline the highest price, with the highest margin, we find it from a Pemex franchise gas station in Solidaridad, Quintana Roo, a price to the public of 23 pesos and 58 cents, with a margin of three pesos 44 cents , surely they won't lose you, especially if you compare it with the 20-cent margin of Circle K in Ahumada, Chihuahua, with a consequently much lower price to the public of 21 pesos and 57 cents.In Premium gasoline, the most expensive, with the highest margin, we find it in BP, in Benito Juárez, in Benito Juárez, sorry, in Quintana Roo, in Cancún, 25 pesos and 29 cents per liter, a margin of three pesos with 33 cents, compared to the 16 cents of Pemex franchise margin in La Paz, Baja California, a price to the public of 23 pesos with 13 cents.Let's go with diesel, Arco is the most expensive option, with the highest margin, Mazatlán, Sinaloa, 25 pesos retail price, three pesos and 18 cents.There we can see how the 3.44 that we saw at the beginning is extremely high the margin.The cheapest with a margin of 15 cents is ServiFácil in Berriozábal, Chiapas, 22 pesos and 59 cents retail price.We received 232 complaints or reports through the Liter per Liter app on Android and iOS, and we made 260 observations or verifications.Two gas stations did not allow themselves to be verified, one in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Arguelles Service and another one in Meoqui, Chihuahua, Super Gas Stations.These two did not allow themselves to be verified and we will be visiting them now with the National Guard, ASEA and CRE.The cheapest without taking into account the margin gives us a notion of the highest and lowest price on average in the country so that we can decide where we live what is a good price.The cheapest, 20.39 in Altamira, Tamaulipas, from the Pemex franchise and 20.29 from Soriana in Tampico, Tamaulipas.The most expensive for the regular 24.50 from the Pemex franchise in Tepehuanes, Durango and 23.99 also from the Pemex franchise in Apatzingán, Michoacán.The cheapest, 21.99 for the Premium in Altamira, Tamaulipas, Pemex franchise and also Pemex franchise 21.99 in Veracruz, Veracruz.The most expensive Shell in Naucalpan, in the State of Mexico, around here they like to give Shell's expensive, very overpriced, 26.79 per liter;25.99 from BP in Iztapalapa also in the State of Mexico.The cheapest for diesel 22.29 in Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz and Mobil 22.39 in Altamira, Tamaulipas.The most expensive, Quick Gas in Culiacán, Sinaloa, 26 pesos and 15 cents a liter and 25.99 Cardel, in Allende, Chihuahua.We also continue to review the issue of sanitary services at gasoline service stations, at gas stations.Let's now see the LP gas.The international price converted to kilos and pesos with cutoff on July 27 was 26 pesos and 21 cents, while the average of the 145 regions in the country was 24 pesos and 36 cents, we see a difference of almost two pesos below of the international price.We also see a downward trend in the international price, to begin to normalize, we hope that this will be achieved soon.On the same day, making the cut, but converting it to liters and pesos, the price was 13 pesos and 99 cents per liter, this is for stationary tanks, while the average price in our country was 13 pesos and 13 cents. , a little more than 50 cents difference.We are going to see now that there are still providers that provide gas cheaper than the price in the region, this is very good, in support of consumers, women consumers, they are allies of them.In Acatlán, Hidalgo, Gas Express Nieto has it at 12 pesos 26 cents per liter, when the price is 13 pesos 42 cents, very good, 20 cents below the price in the region.And there are examples other than in the state of Hidalgo, in San Luis Potosí, in the State of Mexico, in Guerrero, in Veracruz, in Coahuila and in Nuevo León.Now in gas cylinders we have examples below the maximum price of the region in Puebla, in Tlaxcala, in Jalisco, in Tamaulipas, in Veracruz and in Michoacán.Gas Uribe de Puebla, in Quimixtlán, Puebla, the price to the public, 22 pesos 74 cents, when the maximum price is 25 pesos and 15 cents, we are talking about three pesos on average below the maximum price.Seven hundred and eighty-four verifications were carried out throughout the week, also some visits, 778 without infraction, we immobilized two uncalibrated scales, two also uncalibrated vehicles and two measuring instruments, 2.7 of cylinders in poor condition, all complying with the maximum prices or , as we have already seen, some even below the maximum price and only two verification refusals, both are from Hemza, Hermanos Mendoza.These Mendoza brothers behaved very badly in the state of Tlaxcala who did not allow themselves to be verified and, well, we will be doing it with the support of the National Guard, because these Mendoza brothers are definitely hiding something.We are now going to see the basket of 24 essential products.And we have the statistics that have been accumulating, the black line, which is the National Consumer Price Index for Food and Beverages.We see there price stability;however, in the maximum price those who are expensive because they want to be expensive again, we have an upward trend in the careros, while those who have been allies of consumers in this time gave a little lower in this week, which created a big difference between those who give expensive and those who give cheap, this makes it more convenient for consumers throughout the country to take a good look at who are our allies to go shopping with them .Let's see it now for each of the four regions:In the downtown area, the most expensive price, which is not surprising because those at City Market have always been very expensive, at 1,198 pesos and 30 cents.Another example of the most expensive in León, there with my countrymen, the same basket, 1,126 pesos for the 24 products, we see a difference there, extremely expensive City Market.While the cheapest was Soriana Híper in Puebla, Puebla, with a package price, the same 24 products, 911 pesos and 80 cents, more than 250 pesos difference.And another economic example in Tlaxcala, in Apizaco, Chedraui at 920 pesos and 95 cents.In the north, Walmart Express in Morelia, Michoacán, was the most expensive, at 1,084 pesos and 50 cents a basket.While Soriana Híper in Tonalá, Jalisco, had it at 937 pesos and 10 cents.And Mega Soriana, also in Morelia, 981 pesos and 80 cents, you can save 100 pesos just in Morelia by choosing an allied supplier, a supplier that is aware of prices.Let's go now in the north, Central de Abastos Monterrey, 1,132 pesos and 50 cents, compared in Monterrey with the cheapest, which was Merco Aramberri, a regional chain in the north, 895 pesos and 85 cents.Lastly, in the south-southeast zone, Mega Soriana in Acapulco, Guerrero, 106 pesos at 60 cents, the most expensive option in the region.And the cheapest was Bodega Aurrera, 971 pesos and 90 cents.And we will be placing this sticker in the month of August to all those who verified or are verifying in the second semester of this year.All pumps and all scales are checked twice a year.And this will let the consumer see that the scale is calibrated.It is a temptation when there is an inflationary process like the one that is being suffered worldwide today because someone scratches a kilo of beans or removes a tomato from a kilo, in such a way that it seems that it is the same price, but they are punishing you with the volume.That is why we are asking everyone to help us.When you see this decal… Then you can also look at the hologram, the holograms are not going to change.What we are doing is making it more visible to us consumers, us consumers, that the scale is calibrated.And if it is not calibrated, let us know at 55 568 87 22, a number that we all already know as the consumer's telephone number.PRESIDENT ANDRÉS MANUEL LÓPEZ OBRADOR: Very good.Some companions remained.(VIDEO STARTS ON PROGRESS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MAYAN TRAIN)WOMEN'S VOICE: Mayan Train, progress report, August 1, 2022.In section 1, the construction of the Villa

four compañeras, compañeros.Elideth, we started with her.QUESTION: Good morning, Mr. President;Good morning to all the presents.Elideth Fernández, from News of the Consciousness Movement and collaborator of the Iztaccíhuatl radio program on the Path of the Moon.Mr. President, on July 14 you informed us of your determination to leave close to 10 new natural protected areas when your government ends, which we celebrate, because in addition to ensuring the conservation of natural beauty, being an efficient alternative for dynamics of the ecosystems and preserve the biological wealth in situ, are also zones of sustainable development of the human communities that inhabit them.Today we cannot stop celebrating that on July 27, just a few days ago, the presidential decree was published declaring the region known as Jaguar in the municipality of Tulum a protected natural area as a protected area for flora and fauna. , in the state of Quintana Roo.Thanks to those who made it possible.Now it's up to all Mexicans to take care that its management plan is fulfilled because each protected natural area is a hope for humanity.In the same vein, Mr. President, today I bring a single question on a topic that should be considered within that unprecedented legacy, it is the San Pedro Mártir River in the municipalities of Tenosique and Balancán, Tabasco.It would take us a long time to talk about the importance of this area, I will only mention two aspects of great interest:One, navigating the San Pedro Mártir River is a trip to the past, the red mangroves that grow in it are witnesses of a global event that happened 125 thousand years ago at a time when the temperature of the planet rose and the coastline reached more 120 kilometers inland, establishing mangrove populations.When the sea receded, it left the mangroves there in fresh water to this day, as well as fossils and other plant species typical of the coast, which makes it a unique inland mangrove swamp in the world, the furthest from the sea that be recorded on the planet.Two, the San Pedro River is rich in archaeological remains of great value;however, Aguada Fénix stands out, the oldest Mayan city found to date, it is a recently discovered site and proof that the area is probably the point of origin of said culture.Currently, the Universidad Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco coordinates the studies in the San Pedro River, through Dr. Carlos Manuel Burelo, a researcher at this university, who, together with scientists from national and international universities, document the biodiversity and environmental processes that in this river are developed and are being published in scientific journals of world interest.Likewise, the natural attractions of the river make the San Pedro River an unimaginable tourist product to which the travelers of the Mayan Train will soon join.I want to emphasize that, according to testimonies compiled by Dr. Burelo himself, the Mayan Train is awaited with hope and joy by the inhabitants of the region, given that a station will be established in Villa El Triunfo just 20 kilometers from some communities of the San Pedro River. , in a territory where poverty is reflected in a little more than 50 percent of the inhabitants.It will be, without a doubt, a development option for the area.People are even organizing themselves accordingly to carry out tours for visitors, which will help to stop devastating the forest for agricultural and livestock activities.Due to the foregoing, many actors from the scientific and social community ask you, Mr. President, to declare this zone a federal protected natural area before it is too late.The San Pedro River would have a management plan that would force the area to develop in an orderly manner, as well as undertake the planning of sustainable ecotourism and ecosystem restoration programs, avoiding the creation of infrastructure that damages the natural wealth of the place and avoid what happened in the 1970s, when more than 150,000 hectares of forest were devastated in the region.But above all we would ensure that future generations continue to enjoy the otter, the manatee, an orchid, the flight of the butterfly and much more, all this in its natural habitat, turning it into a sanctuary and avoiding the condemnation of wildlife to the commerce or to the confinement and suffering of a zoo.To conclude, Mr. President, do you think that the San Pedro Mártir River could be added to those 10 protected natural areas that your government intends to inherit from the Mexicans when it concludes?PRESIDENT ANDRÉS MANUEL LÓPEZ OBRADOR: Yes, we are working in that area.I believe that it is one of the most attended regions in terms of the reforestation program.Previously, in the lands near the San Pedro River, which is a tributary of the Usumacinta, the Balancán Plan was developed, it was called and they were national lands.They were populated, there were settlers who went to work in Plan Balancán, very good people from all over the country who came to this area near the San Pedro River.Now all those ejidos that had been abandoned are already in the Sembrando Vida program.And, indeed, the Mayan Train is going to pass nearby, there is going to be a station in El Triunfo and we are talking about the borders between Mexico and Guatemala.And yes, we are going to take your proposal into account, it will be analyzed.We are going to fulfill the commitment to expand the reserve areas.The publication of the protected natural area called El Jaguar, in Tulum, was very important.In some cases already, fortunately in a few cases, already inhabited or invaded, but agreements are being reached with those who have already had possession for some time and we are going to find a mechanism to respect their possessions under certain conditions, they are going to be granted acknowledgments that they currently do not have, whether they are concessions, the equivalent of property, but conserving everything as a protected natural area.And there is in this area of ​​El Jaguar, well, there are lands of the federal government, of the state government, already delivered and Monte Alto, which is going to be protected;There is even a budget to fence 25 kilometers in that protected natural area El Jaguar, because there is flora and there is important native fauna that has to be conserved.An agreement is also about to be concluded to expand the Calakmul reserve in Campeche by 15,000 hectares, on the border with Quintana Roo.It is Selva Monte Alto, which will become part of the reserve.They are talking with the ejidatarios, it is called the Plan de San Luis ejido and an agreement is being reached and everyone is helping.Many do not live there, but they were endowed and are the original owners of those lands when they were colonized in the 70s, when that area of ​​Tabasco, Campeche, Tenosique, Balancán, in Tabasco began to be populated;in Campeche: Candelaria, Escárcega, Calakmul, Xpujil;and Quintana Roo to Cancun.Yesterday I remembered that 50 years ago there was nothing in Cancun, 52 years, Kukulcán Avenue was built in 1970, 71. Nothing, nothing, everything without people, only the beaches, the beauties of the beaches of the Caribbean Sea, the turquoise sea .And the builders began to arrive and if you see a photo of then and now, you can see that it is something else.Cancun is the second most well-known city in the world, the most identified name after Mexico, in 50 years.And what is socially important is that thanks to tourism, the entire southeast benefited, because where there was nothing, hotels began to be built and hard-working, struggling people began to arrive from all over the country, because it was not easy, when it began there was no water, beach dust.One thing is to go to tourism and another thing is to build in tourist areas.And thanks to that people came from Yucatan, from Campeche, Tabasco and Chiapas, Oaxaca and Veracruz and from all over the country, from Mexico City and for four, almost five decades, Cancun was the only place where there was economic growth, southeast, of all the southeast, this point.And for this reason, as there was work, growth rates of eight, 10 percent per year, people went there, something unique, with a lot of vision, this development was thought of.But we have to take care of the environment, because everything that meant building Cancun and then the Riviera Maya, led to clearing and mangroves and even archaeological sites and cenotes and underwater rivers were affected.Now that taking care of all that, that is being taken care of, in the construction of the Mayan Train, neither a cenote nor underwater rivers will be affected, the construction is being very careful.And, on the contrary, we are planting trees.And we want to take advantage of all the tourist influx that arrives in Cancun, which continues to arrive, so that on the Mayan Train they enter the states of the southeast and also get to know other natural beauties that exist in Yucatan, in Campeche, in Chiapas, in Tabasco and especially the ancient Mayan cities, because it is a whole region also with a lot of art, with a lot of culture.The day I was there, on Saturday, they arrived in Cancún, they arrived and left, 632 flights from all over the world, 632 flights.This year it is estimated that 29 million visitors will arrive through the airport alone.So, what we want is to promote that without affecting the environment and helping people because tourism is an activity that generates wealth, that produces wealth, but also distributes wealth, hoteliers help each other, but also restaurant workers, chef, carriers, those who are dedicated to commerce, there is employment, there is well-being in the areas and we just have to take care of the environment.That there is no lack of services in the neighborhoods where the workers live, that is why we have support programs for urban interventions in neighborhoods of tourist cities, tourist centers, this is being done by the Department of Urban Development.And also take care of security, because with such an influx of tourists, crime is also encouraged, and you have to be careful, providing security.But I was very pleased that the hotels in the entire region, both in Yucatan and Quintana Roo, were full and this is economic growth, jobs, and well-being.So, I also take the opportunity to report.And yes, we are going to review your proposal, the San Pedro river.INTERLOCUTOR: Thank you very much, president.That's it.PRESIDENT ANDRÉS MANUEL LÓPEZ OBRADOR: Shaila.QUESTION: Good morning, President.Shaila Rosagel, correspondent for Grupo Healy: El Imparcial, from Sonora;The Chronicle, from Mexicali;and Frontera, from Tijuana.Ask her, president, first of all, what her opinion of the election day of the weekend in the Morena party.If you have any report on what was recorded on this day.That would be my first question.PRESIDENT ANDRÉS MANUEL LÓPEZ OBRADOR: Well, they gave me a report in the morning and I consider it was a good democratic day, because around two million 500 thousand citizens participated, the participation for an internal election was massive;also, to elect delegates to Congress.Two million 500 thousand, is a lot.Because also many who were not members of Morena, they inform me, signed up, at the same time they were joining Morena, that's why there were many who participated.And leading this event was very commendable to the leaders, Mario Delgado, Citlalli, the secretary and all, many leaders who helped to hold the elections.There is, of course, disagreement.These processes must be improved more and more so that there are no violations, hauls, vote induction.And there were still that type of practices, but in very few boxes;It was not generalized, it is not as the opponents, the conservatives would have wanted.Because I was seeing that they repeated and repeated and repeated, right? Of fraud and irregularities, but no, nothing to do with what they have done, nothing, nothing to do with it.I'm not going to make history, maybe only for young people, right? But when Calderón is a candidate for his party, he runs against Creel and, although the election was not open, there were hauls and fraud and already, as is clear, in the 2006, well, they just stole the Presidency.And before, historically, well, sadly dead.So, congratulations to everyone who participated yesterday.Hopefully this is how it is done in all the parties, that in the conservative bloc they call open elections to decide, that it is not just those from above who make the agreements, rinse them and decide in the luxury restaurants of Mexico City .It is very important that people participate.Two million 500 thousand citizens is a lot.And there is no apparatus, it is the town, it is the people.The more citizen participation, the better, and that's where we have to go.And of course, there are going to be problems, but the people make fewer mistakes and know how to distinguish well who is convenient, who is not, who is who.I was pleased to know that he had obtained, in the district in which he participated as a candidate, first place 'el Fisgón'.And no way that 'el Fisgón' carried.He won because, well, he has been helping and has been helping in something that is very important, not only for Morena, but for all the games: 'El Fisgón' has been helping in the training of young people.If there are no ideals, if there are no principles, no party lasts, because everything is pragmatism, everything is the struggle of power for power, without ideals, without principles, it is the take off yourself because I want it, it is to succeed at all costs without moral scruples of any kind, is to buy votes, threaten, condition support, falsify minutes, stuff ballot boxes, because there are no ideals, there are no principles.Truly honest people are not going to do that and that requires principles, ideals, a philosophy, a doctrine.Who does not have any of that, but the only thing that moves him is the ambition for power or money, because he is neither a politician nor a businessman in the strict sense, nor a good citizen, because ethics is required and politics is an ethical imperative.So I'm glad it's moving forward.And then, I have a way of measuring, which I would not like because it is very schematic and Manichaean, as well as black and white and in political analysis you always have to qualify, but since we are in a time of transformation and the conservatives have closed completely, they have become clouded, they do not understand reasons, everything is bad and they are just looking for our mistakes to magnify them, it turns out that when I want to know something I have a list of those who manifest themselves on the networks, then I see Claudio what does he say and then I see Sarmiento, another man...PRESIDENT ANDRÉS MANUEL LÓPEZ OBRADOR: No, one who is a columnist for El Universal.INTERVENTION: From Mauleón?PRESIDENT ANDRÉS MANUEL LÓPEZ OBRADOR: Oh, that one, Mauleón, De Mauleón, that one.So, I have about 10 there and when I see them like this, uniforms, like yesterday when I saw them, I said: ah, what is it... That's why I speak of Manichaeism, I already say: If they are saying that it was wrong, then it was good , because what is bad for them is good for us.And I can't even say anymore: I have to be objective.No, it does not fail, it does not fail, because they are full of courage.So that's my point of view.And we have to move on, we have to keep making democracy a reality, that the people participate, not be afraid of the people.And the key is not to divorce the people, always be with the people and help more the poor, the needy, out of conviction, out of humanism, but also because they are loyal.Only the people can save the people, don't forget that.If we depended on the media, they would have brushed us off already;if we depended on the potentates, the same;if we depended on the intellectuals, the same.With exceptions in all cases, well, but where there are none, where there is no loss, it is with the townspeople, they are good, they are honest, they are grateful, they are loyal.Never.Ahead.Ahead.Keep going.
