At the beginning of a video posted on his YouTube account on February 21, Taboada showed a video fragment in which the current president of Mexico is seen saying the following in front of the assertion of a person who assured that in Benito Juárez there were more buildings but no water:

“No, no, no, it was not the authorities, I made the decision, I am responsible for it, when I was head of government because I believe that is what gives sustainability to the city. Very clearly, it is not the fault of the delegate, it is a general policy that I decided but I believe that it was the most appropriate and I take full responsibility”.

“This moment could be considered the origin of the real estate chaos and the grand corruption of the city government, its government, president,” Taboada said in the same video with which he assured that AMLO was responsible for real estate corruption in the mayor’s office.

The mayor presented different videos of President López Obrador’s lectures in which he talks about the alleged real estate corruption that has occurred in some town halls in Mexico City, including the Benito Juarezcurrently ruled by Taboada.

The other segments used by the official took place on February 20, 2023, when the president spoke about the proliferation of the real estate market which he attributed to the neoliberal policies of previous governments, which, according to AMLO, give importance to growth at the cost of anything.

However, the PAN member wondered which neoliberal government we were talking about if he had run the city for 23 years and was the one controlling building permits and audits. For which he recriminated that the real estate development corruption He came from the AMLO government of Mexico, that is to say when he was head of the government of the Federal District.

“Not only have they overcrowded part of the city, but they have created a problem with services, mainly water,” he said. However, he did not share the date of the first recording he presented as evidence to support his charges.

Finally, he said that the real culprits for the real estate disaster and corruption came from the governments of the fourth transformation, starting with AMLO when he was in the Democratic Revolution Party (PRD) and ran the city government, according to the PAN member.
