President López Obrador endorsed his government’s commitment to clean up the corruption in the country, so that the resources reach more Mexicans. “There is still dust from that mud, but we are persevering and we are going to continue cleaning the country of corruption, purifying public life,” said the federal Executive.
From the Loma de Guamúchil ejido, López Obrador offered to continuously visit the Yaqui communities, an ethnic group that has been the most mistreated in Mexico and in the world. “I am going to be president if the creator and nature so decide until the end of September 2024, but I am aware that we must finish everything committed by December of next year at the latest,” he explained.
