Mexico’s president on Friday defended his decision to disclose a reporter’s telephone number, saying a law that prohibits officials from releasing personal information doesn’t apply to him.
Press freedom groups said the president’s decision to make public the phone number of a New York Times reporter Thursday was an attempt to punish critical reporting, and exposed the reporter to potential danger.
Mexico’s law on Protection of Personal Data states “the government will guarantee individuals’ privacy” and sets out punishments for officials and others for “improperly using, taking, publishing, hiding, altering or destroying, fully or partially, personal data.”
Hi, since you live there, would you please be willing to mention what you think this politician gets right, wrong and is mediocre about? I ask because of the user who claims you don’t know what an authoritarian demagogue is.
Thanking you in advance, regardless of your decision.
I could and have many points in mind, and yet none of that is relevant to what we’re discussing. If you think he’s authoritarian and whatnot, I invite you to prove that point first, because I cannot prove a negative, but I can tell you that this is not how he handles policy or runs his government.
Thank you in advance, regardless of your decision.

Yeah and? That’s no indication of anything else that goes on. Do you know anything that I don’t? Link, pls.

What about it? You’re missing the point just like everyone else here.
I don’t think he is. I don’t think he isn’t. I asked you for your perspective since you live there and felt strongly enough to post what you did. I guess whatever any outsiders think is of no consequence, since outsiders have no right to form any opinion on whatever happens to your country or people, since outsiders obviously have no influence on what they’re governments do or what narratives we accept or reject.
I’m not asking you to not form an opinion. I’m telling you that you’re concluded something about him as a whole based on a single story. You’ve already characterized him in a certain way based on this. Do you realize that? Because it seems that you don’t.
Link to whatever else you think makes him a fascist. Please. Make your point.
What? I never did anything of the sort, mate*. Please check user names on comments.

Te downvotearon por ciego. Si realmente piensas que AMLO esta haciendo un gran trabajo, te invito a que te eduques, leas y te quites los lentes de color rosa. Ese tipo esta haciendo un cagadero ppr todos lados, y la gente decente que no se da cuenta son el problema mas grande.
Pasa las fuentes no tan amarillistas y hablamos.
Cancelo un aereopuerto contándonos a todos miles de millones de pesos de nuestros impuestos. Armó su gabinete rodeandose de un All-stars de los weyes mas corruptos del PRI y del Verde. Salió en pandemia a decirle a la gente que bastaba con sus estampitas de la virgen y desestimó las vacunas, tiene opiniones anticuadisimas hacia la tecnología renovable, etc etc. Esto es información pública.
Aquí no estamos hablando qué decisiones económicas ha tomado como presidente bajo un marco legal. Tampoco estamos hablando de qué es lo que pensamos sobre su gabinete, ni de qué opiniones malinformadas tiene sobre la preferencia a la religión sobre medicina establecida. Nada de eso se está discutiendo. Si vamos a hablar de esto, va a ser atinado y no lo que tú quieres que yo defienda. Porque en esos casos–legales–ahí vamos a salir más de acuerdo. Pero estamos hablando de cómo AMLO supuestamente ha abusado de su poder sintiéndose superior a la ley.
Y los de pedir fuentes de info, tiene varias funciones más que verificar info y es a lo que voy. Así que te pido respetar el tema y sustanciarlo, por favor.
Si estamos hablando de eso. El tipo es un pendejazo que ha tomado decisiones terribles, se ha rodeado de lacras, se codea con familiares del narco y se la vive haciendo cosas turbias (visitar Baridaguato seguido por ejemplo).
Tu quieres crear una distinción entre todo esto, como si no estuviera correlacionado o si no fuera la misma persona. Todo es parte de lo mismo, ponerte a distinguir entre una cosita y otra como si el mismo presidente compartamelizara su forma de actuar es una táctica demagogica y poco mas que eso.
