Epigmenio Ibarra rushed against Felipe Calderón for criticizing AIFA documentary: “General de pacotilla”

The premiere of Epigmenio Ibarra's documentary about Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) has attracted several comments, because while people related to the Fourth Transformation (Q4) support it, the opposition has been responsible for mocking and criticizing it since all possible angles.

Although one of the scenes in this audiovisual material has attracted the most attention of these people. It shows General Gustavo Ricardo Vallejo Suárez, in charge of the group of engineers from Santa Lucia who are building the AIFA, talking to the statue of Felipe Ángeles.

Several users shared these few seconds of the documentary to write sarcastic comments or jokes related to it. Such was the case of the self-styled philosopher Fernando Belaunzarán, who compared Ibarra to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebles for using a military man to “praise” AMLO.

“That the goebbelsito @EpigmenioIbarra thought of putting a very martial and solemn army general to speak to the statue of Felipe Ángeles at the airport fiasco in Santa Lucia to introduce himself and praise @lopezobrador_. Ri-di-cu-lo,” wrote the former politician.

This tweet was shared by former President Felipe Calderón (2006-2012). From his Twitter account, the former member of the National Action Party (PAN) described as a “shame” the way the government used soldiers for this documentary, described as a “whim” of the current president.

“But it's not General Vallejo's fault. He takes orders. What a pity that they use (and so on) Mexican soldiers for the vagaries of the Guatemalan,” said the Michoacán.

Epigmenio Ibarra heard about this criticism and decided to respond to Calderón with a phrase from General Felipe Ángeles, with whom he compared the former president for not being up to his height, so he decided to call him “general de cotilla”.

“'There is something fragile, weak, but infinitely precious, that we must all defend: life. ' This was what a great warrior and revolutionary General Felipe Ángeles said. For the other Felipe (Calderón) general de pacotilla, the only life that was worth was his own. He sent others to kill and die,” wrote the founder of Argos Comunicaciones.

This text accompanied an image with the beginning of Felipe Angeles' sentence, which reads: “Politics is not an end, the Revolution is not an end: they are means to make men men”, the publication of Ibarra reads.

Other characters who also shared, criticized and laughed at this fragment of the documentary were the communicator Victor Trujillo and the influencer Chumel Torres. The first one issued a sarcastic comment from his Twitter account:

“Tomorrow I am going to show up with the Green Indians to place myself under their very appreciable orders... if I had known,” wrote the creator of the character Brozo.

While the driver of El Pulso de la República also shared these seconds of the documentary “Felipe Angeles International Airport, a work of the people” and shared an acid tweet against the staff of the Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena).

“The sea of cringe,” Chumel wrote.

These were not the only comments of these two characters against AMLO, Q4 and Santa Lucia airport. At first, the host of El Pulso de la República compared this project with Rosalia's new album, released on March 18, and hinted that both were not very good.

“Rosalia's new album is the Santa Lucia airport of records,” Chumel Torres wrote.

Trujillo also referred to the air taxis that López Obrador announced, with routes from Polanco to AIFA. “No, but let me tell you about air taxis from Polanco...”, was the message that accompanied the cover of the weekly Zeta Tijuana that highlighted the more than 110,000 deaths during the president's six-year term.
