translated from Spanish: the sayings of AMLO vs the facts insulated the

President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador presumed gains achieved by his administration to 100 days after initiating his Government. However, some of the sayings of Chairman contrast with important facts that have been presented in these weeks, and which call into question the progress.
phrase: “We are protecting journalists and threatened citizens of death”
to have not stopped despite the saying of the President, the assaults and murders of journalists and social activists.
From December 1 to February 25 this year, i.e. during the first 90 days of the new Government, three journalists were killed in connection with their professional work.
This figure, as documented by the civil organization Article 19 equals three murders also reported between December and February of the previous year, with Peña Nieto at the head of an administration that overtook Felipe Calderón in the killings of journalists record: 46 homicides.
The journalists murdered in the home of Lopez Obrador’s Government are: Jesús Alejandro Márquez Jiménez, reporter Orión Informativo, killed on first day of protest of the new Government decision; Rafael Murúa Manríquez, Radiokashana, assassinated January 20, 2019; and Samir Flores Soberanes, conductor of Radio Amiltzinko and leading opponent of the thermoelectric power of the Huexca, in Cuautla, Morelos, murdered on 20 February.
In addition to journalists, civil society organizations grouped under the collective space CSO reported that these same 90 days have killed 11 activists.
Organizations, according to a report published by the newspaper “To nearly 90 days of Government of the current administration, violence against defenders of human rights and journalists has increased at an alarming rate”, explained the Day.
for his part, Jan Jarab, representative of the High Commissioner of the United Nations for human rights in Mexico, said Lopez Obrador’s new Government has shown “goodwill” to protect journalists, but said in a statement that She picked up the BBC on 28 February, that “the Outlook is still very, very gloomy”.
Phrase: “the tragedy that resulted in the loss of 135 lives in Tlahuelilpan, Hidalgo was very sad. Our permanent condolences to their families and the commitment that we will always strive to avoid anyone, or in this case, nor by migration, by poverty, by marginalization is obliged to put your life at risk.”
While the President gave his condolences by what happened in Tlahuelilpan, it is not mentioned if results or progress of an official investigation that allows to know if the authorities–army and police–acted properly.
It is not known if Pemex closed the pipeline in time, if the State authorities could do more or if there were human errors that contributed to that there were 135 dead.
phrase: “there is determination to send obeying. Why consultations were carried out on the airport and more recently on the pipeline and the power of the State of Morelos’
if it is true that in the first 100 days of Government consultations were conducted citizen to decide about the re alization of large infrastructure projects, which had not happened before, it is also that these consultations were marked by controversy and allegations of irregularities.
For example, in the recent consultation on the draft Integral Morelos and the power plant in Huexca, Morelos, the result was a 59.5% votes in favor, and a 40.1 percent against, although in the municipalities of Morelos where it crosses the mega work was where less voted people , to the actions of burning ballot boxes and rejection that led to closing 11 boxes the first day, and seven the second, according to official data.
Huexca, the village which gives the name to the thermoelectric power plant project Integral Morelos, nor wants to project and residents complained that there was not sufficient information. So political Animal found it during a tour, in which documented that inhabitants of the town were not the majority to vote. Instead, they gathered signatures against the thermal power plant in a popular Assembly.
In addition, two boxes were burned in the village of Amayuca, municipality of Jantetelco and Temoac, municipal seat wherever murdered activist and journalist Samir Flores.
The President himself called conservatives who opposed the power plant.
In the consultation on the future of the new airport in the city of Mexico, Animal politician also documented that errors occurred in the system of counting and duplication of votes, and people who might vote with photocopies of the credential of voter, something that was forbidden. The number of votes, just surpassed one million, slightly more than 1% of the electoral roll also.
3 consultations that were organized, two until it took possession and one already in the Government, have not followed the guidelines that the law or have counted with the participation of the National Electoral Institute.
phrase: “Decided not to extract oil or gas with the fracking method”
Lopez Obrador has reiterated on many occasions, both as a candidate as elected President and Acting President, that the new Government will not use “the famous fracking”to exploit oil; a technique involving the contamination of large volumes of water during oil extraction operations.
However, the new administration budgeted an investment of 3 thousand 351 million pesos for the extraction of hydrocarbons by fracking, only for this 2019.
The Mexican civil association Cartocritica and the Henrich Böll environmental Foundation unveiled last January 25, in a note of political Animal, which are still in force 26 contracts for the extraction of hydrocarbons by fracking, of which 25 they were assigned to Pemex, and the other to the operator of Cambos DWF SA de CV company.
These assignments and the contract, stressed civil organizations, “would have to be revoked” to comply with the promise of Lopez Obrador.
Sentence: the economy fortunately is underway; even grows little, but there is no hint of recession as our conservative adversaries would or as forecast analysts with bad faith. They will be wanting. In this year, according to data from the Social Security, have been created 220 thousand 628 new jobs.
based on data from the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), between December and February, 220 thousand 628 people affiliated with social security, as the President cited: in January, were 94 thousand 646 jobs. And in February, 125 thousand 982.
Now, Lopez Obrador did not explain what the annual rate of growth of employment in January and February is the lowest from 2014. In January of 2019 the number of formal jobs increased 3.3% compared to the total number of formal jobs from January 2018; whereas in February increased by 3.1% over the same month of the previous year.
