The program flowed in such a way that the conversation gradually fed back. Among the varied points of view, skeptics, believers of life in the universe, researchers, people who claimed to see flying objects in the sky and fanatics, encouraged the conversation that lasted until the morning of the following day.

Nino Canún’s name sounded again in Mexico after the communicator thanked the president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, in the morning of January 29, 2019. The journalist appeared at the morning conference and claimed to have been vetoed by Enrique Peña Nieto and Luis Videgaray.
Explaining that former President Peña Nieto had come to his home to tell him to be the next director of Social Communication, to Canún’s refusal, the former president only answered “A president of the Republic is never told no”, commented the host of the program “Y usted ¿Qué Opina?”. He added that after that meeting, he never heard from any of them again and was vetoed.
According to Nino’s comments, it was not until AMLO became president that “the doors were opened, freedom of expression ended with the gag law and I am very grateful to the President of the Republic”. His thanks and explanation lasted about 20 minutes.
For his part, President Andrés Manuel added that he found it interesting to speak freely and frankly, because that “is communication, without censorship, congratulations for returning”. And he added that it was thanks to the will of the citizens that they decided to bring about a change in the country, because it was thanks to their vote for a real change. However, Nino Canún replied that it was thanks to the constitutional president, and not to the people of Mexico, that he had returned to work.
