translated from Spanish: I do not agree that my hermado will ask for jail for Loret de Mola: AMLO

President Andrés Manuel López said that he does not agree with his brother Pio asking for a 12-year prison sentence for journalist Carlos Loret de Mola for broadcasting a video in which he is seen receiving money, because he said, this affects him and his government.
“I don’t agree with him (Pio) should not be asked for such punishment for anyone and more if he’s my brother because that’s used by my adversaries against my people and the government I represent,” the representative said at his conference on Monday. 
He assured that this is a matter between individuals and that he desys the public from the familiar. 
“It is particular matters in this case that Loret de Mola does not worry if they did nothing to him when he carried out the montage ordered by Genaro García Luna, nor so that we act as Genaro García Luna,” the representative added.

“We will not harass to pursue anyone are very upset, those of the press sold and rented from other times, the conservative press, but we will not violate the right to free manifestation of ideas to freedom of the press, we will not touch Loret de Mola or with the petal of a rose.
