This is not the first time that the Presidency has organized closed events, because when there are events on roads, in Pemex or National Guard facilities, no transmissions are made.

In addition, he told Animal Politico that due to the ban by the popular consultation, no promotional acts or government achievements can be carried out at public events, so recently they have held more events without press with the president.
On his last visit to Badiraguato, in March 2020, López Obrador greeted during an event the mother of drug trafficker Joaquin “el Chapo” Guzman, sentenced to life in prison in the United States.
After criticism and questioning over the greeting, the president said at the time that he went to supervise a road that is being built in the Sinaloan mountains.
“She went to where the explanation about the road was made and they told me that she was there and that she wanted to greet me and I got out of the van and greeted her,” he said.
Lopez Obrador said he could avoid greeting her so as not to arouse criticism from his opponents, but that Consuelo Loera “is a 92-year-old lady and I already said the fatal plague is corruption not an older adult who deserves all my respect regardless of who her son is and I will continue to do so.”
