President Andrés Manuel López Obrador assured yesterday that the murder of Salvador Llamas Urbina, Morena’s national adviser, last Friday in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, was a execution
.
They went over him
said the president yesterday morning before a question about the case, which was addressed, according to what he said, in the previous meeting of the security cabinet.
-Did they confirm the presence of criminal groups? –She asked him.
-Yes, apparently it was an execution, a murder, they were about him.
Given the versions that point to alleged links between the victim and members of organized crime, López Obrador stressed that there is no evidence to confirm it and that the investigations must wait.
Judgments cannot be made a priori, no results can be anticipated, that is why the investigation is carried out and it is going to be reported.
The chief executive added that two more people died in these events: one of the escorts of the brunette and one of the alleged aggressors.
I think we will soon report how far the investigations are. What they do need to take into account, people know, is that we do not establish complicit relationships with anyone and there is zero corruption and zero impunity. In addition, we do not hide anything, it is putting into practice that public life is increasingly public, but this is not the case with this (murdered) comrade you mentioned.
However, he stated that these types of cases are used by organic intellectuals and journalists. who benefited from the neoliberal regime
are related to their opponents and they are co-opted by the oligarchy
.
Challenge to Loret
Thus, and without question, the President himself referred to an article last week signed by the journalist Carlos Loret de Mola, in which he assures that, in his political will, López Obrador would leave his son Andrés as his political heir
with a view to holding the Presidency in 2030. That first it will be Claudia (Sheinbaum) and then the candidate for 30 will be my son Andrés
.
And in response to this, the Tabascan man ironically launched the challenge: “I can make my political will known if he (Loret) accepts that if what he says is a lie, he retires from journalism and dedicates himself to writing scripts for soap operas or any other activity that you like, because you have a talent for imagination. But that he does not do journalism because journalism is a noble profession and is an ethical imperative and demands respect from people.
I make my will known because it is in a notary’s office and if what he says is true, I resign from the Presidency; nothing more than if it is not true, that he agrees to abandon the noble profession of journalism so as not to continue staining it.
– When would that challenge be? –She asked him.
-Whenever he wants, he can tell us. My only regret is that I’m going to get ahead of myself by making the (political) will known, but it’s worth it. I don’t earn much either, because it’s not just Loret, there are like a thousand, but it’s something, right? The president replied.
