The president of Mexico seeks to nationalize airports, hospitals, and energy production

Regarding the power plants previously owned by Iberdrola, the head of the Executive branch pointed out that the acquisition of the 13 plants has already been resolved, costing 6,000 million dollars, although the purchase will generate an income to the Public Treasury of between 500 to 600 million. Furthermore, he stated that with this purchase, the aim is to ensure stability in electricity prices.

Regarding the issue of the nine concessioned hospitals that the current administration sought to acquire, AMLO indicated that payment for three of these has already been made, and the prompt completion of the remaining is expected, although he did not provide further details. He expressed gratitude for the collaboration of the hospital owners, who, according to his words, have understood the importance of this project to improve medical care in Mexico.

Throughout his six-year term, President López Obrador has emphasized securing the country’s resources, placing a significant portion of them in the hands of the state. His government has criticized the ‘neoliberal’ model of the previous administration, which allowed the opening of industries such as oil to private investment.
