“It is evident that these conservatives and many do not want Manuel Bartlett, and I respect everyone, but there is a group that does not want Manuel Bartlett, because the instruction that Manuel Bartlett has, is more not Manuel Bartlett, it is not with Manuel Bartlett, it is with the President, because Manuel Bartlett depends on the head of the Executive, I appointed him, so they think that he is seeing the contracts with Iberdrola is the intransigent, no, I am asking him to see those contracts, I am demanding that he see that, because we are not going to be accomplices of corruption, “said the president.
“So they campaign against public servants, not against everyone, because those who see moderate strawberries, they don’t touch them, those who see with more definition, closer to what the president thinks, they give , but hard. So I realize all this, ”he said.
In the National Palace, the president assured that private businesses have spokespersons in the media in Mexico and abroad who “They make a scandal” like the blackout last Monday afternoon.
