This is on top of passing constitutional amendments to replace all judges and and making the national guard a national police under military control with minimal civilian oversight. A lot of major power consolidation is going on with the ‘super majority’ control of congress by the Morena party.

Looking similar to Hugo Chavez’s populist transformation of Venezuela.

Gonna be interesting to see what comes of that port and the land involved. I tell people all the time , dont believe you own your property in Mexico. There is always someone who can take it from you....

"President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who leaves office next week, has long criticized Vulcan's activities as environmentally damaging, and officials ordered a halt to limestone quarrying by Vulcan's Calica unit two years ago."

Same guy who championed the Mayan Train, one of the most environmentally destructive projects of all time? Guess you can't be ashamed if you don't have any shame in the first place.

There are a some doubts that he is actually leaving and not in reality stepping back and ruling from the shadows.

Is that the cut and jetty that leads into the quarry? I have seen smaller cruise ships docked there a couple of times and I heard it referred to as "Calica". It's about 4.5 miles SW of the PdC ferry pier.

A ‘concession’ will be issued to a family with ties to the party. Kinda like Dave’s pier. In exchange for a temporary slow down in human or fentanyl smuggling into the US, the US federal government will not support Vulcan materials case.
