Carlos Loret de Mola accused AMLO of orchestrating a persecution against him

While the country is going through a serious security crisis, Andrés Manuel López Obrador has chosen to devote his energy to responding to all those opposition groups and journalists who criticize his administration. For months now, Carlos Loret de Mola and the president have maintained a constant friction of opinions and positions, so in today's chapter, the president assured that a piece of land in Valle de Bravo would have been acquired by the former Televisa broadcaster from Miguel Limón Rojas, former Secretary of Education during the six-year term of Ernesto Zedillo (1994-2000).

After the dimes and diretes that both the journalist and the president of Mexico have starred in, Carlos Loret de Mola has accused Andrés Manuel López Obrador of orchestrating a persecution against him for exposing corruption in the president's family and government.

“It's the persecution of a president against a journalist. @lopezobrador_'s revenge against me escalates every day and seems to have no limits,” wrote the contributor to media such as Latinus and The Washington Post.

On the morning of Thursday, April 7, the president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), again attacked the journalist, Carlos Loret de Mola, following his accusations about the alleged millionaire assets he would have in his name in Mexico and the United States (USA).

According to the president, Carlos Loret de Mola owns among his assets an alleged mansion in Valle de Bravo, which he assured that it had an area of eight hectares. However, López Obrador rectified the information and clarified that, as it is a divided piece of land, Loret only has three and a half hectares.

Similarly, the president of Mexico stated that this property costs between 100 and 120 million pesos, and that it even has a huge pool that “makes it look like a bathtub” the Grey House” of his firstborn, Jose Ramon Lopez Beltran, in Houston, Texas.

“He has nothing more than three and a half hectares, like 35 thousand square meters (...) A mansion with a pool that the house is rented by José Ramón and his wife, and the pool, looks like a bathtub compared to the pool in Loret de Mola,” said Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

Andrés Manuel López Obrador also presented the invoice for the acquisition of an apartment in the amount of 24 million pesos, however, the relevant part of this document was not the millionaire amount, but it proves Loret de Mola's collaboration with the opposition media Latinus, as well as the treatment of the would have engaged with the Salinist politician, Ignacio Morales Lechuga.

In addition, the president of Mexico once again insisted on his call for anyone linked to the public, such as the journalist, to make their income and assets transparent.

“Where does the income of this type of journalist come from? A good number are of public origin. So it's all transparent. No corruption,” he argued.

Despite these attacks, the Chief Executive denied that the allegations were motivated by personal nature, but, he said, to showcase the “ill-gotten wealth” of some journalists.

Although Carlos Loret de Mola's work has recently focused on criticizing the administration of Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the attacks between the president and the journalist intensified after the publication of the Casa Gris report, which denoted a possible conflict of interest between José Ramón López Beltrán, Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex) and the company Baker Hughes.

In this regard, the president of Mexico has sought to show that Carlos Loret de Mola is a journalist paid by opposition media that seek to hinder his administration, which the former Televisa broadcaster has described as a revenge of the president for not having been able to explain the origin of the “wealth” of his son José Ramón.
