Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador greeted the mother of drug trafficker Joaquín el Chapo Guzmán, sentenced to life in the United States, on Sunday during his working visit to Badiraguato, Sinaloa.
Animal Politics verified that the video had not circulated on the network before and that it began to go viral this Sunday from about 7 p.m.
It tells the representative to approach the van where Consuelo Loera is located, ask him not to get out of the vehicle and then tell him that he has already received his letter.

In June last year, it was learned that Consuelo Loera had sent a letter to President López Obrador, asking him for a humanitarian visa to visit his son and for the Sinaloa cartel leader to be repatriated to Mexico.
Last year The government of López Obrador faced criticism because security forces had already arrested Ovidio Guzmán, suspected drug dealer and son of Chapo, and then given the order to let him go, in the face of threats and blockades of armed men in Culiacán.
López Obrador said he supported the Security Cabinet’s decision to release Ovidio Guzmán, as this prevented the loss of life.
This Sunday López Obrador came to oversee the construction of a road in Badiraguato, homeland of Chapo. In the official photos and videos of his visit, it is noted that he wears the same clothes that are seen at the time of the salute to the drug dealer’s mother.
