Under the current government, poverty has risen from 51.9 million to 55.7 million, PAN warned

40% of the Mexican population no longer even has enough for the basic basket and in rural areas the percentage reaches up to 53%, according to data on working poverty for the third quarter of 2022, he said. declared. Marko Cortés, national leader of the PAN.

The increase in poverty, inequality and violence are the main failures and the legacy of the presidential government Andres Manuel Lopez Obradoraffirmed the president of the PAN while commenting on the report on the results of the National Social Development Policy Evaluation Council (Conval) 2022.

In the first two years of the current six-year term, poverty fell from 51.9 million to 55.7 million Mexicans and extreme poverty from 8.7 million to 10.8 million, said the national leader of the blues and white.

Cortés pointed out that the report presented reveals that Mexico is a country where poverty and extreme poverty are increasing, without medical care for the most vulnerable and where hunger is moving from rural to urban areas, which represents a catastrophe social.

Cortés Mendoza explained that “despite the fact that Coneval presents the same comparisons that he had already presented between 2018 and 2020, the contextual analysis is very relevant because it constitutes an x-ray of the result in the face of the measures of the federal government.

For Cortés, in reality “there are no public policies to overcome poverty and inequality, but clientelist programs to capture the vote of the poorest”.

Interpreting Coneval’s result, the PAN member pointed out that López Obrador’s social development programs are neither comprehensive nor do they cover the entire population in conditions of poverty and extreme poverty. Moreover, they have not worked to offset the negative impact of the pandemic on health and education.

One of the consequences of the absence of a government strategy is that in 2022 the increase in temporary jobs exceeded permanent jobs in the IMSS. In this sense, the PAN accused Social Security of inflating its figures with programs that it extended to Central America, such as Young People Building the Future and Sembrando Vida.

Cortés Mendoza pointed out that in this context, in the third quarter of 2022, labor income per capita was 2,807.5 pesos on average, which translates into a 2.5% reduction in purchasing power compared to the second quarter of 2022.

“The small wage increases were unnecessary, as the highest inflation in 22 years ate the increases,” he lamented.

Cortés Mendoza said that next to the Coneval report we must put the recent UN report on human development. In the case of Mexico, it experienced an upward human development until the arrival of the current federal administration, in which 12 places were lost, five years of life expectancy and GDP per capita fell by 6 .5% for the first time since 1988.

Cortés Mendoza pointed to Coneval’s coincidence with the National Survey of Occupation and Employment, which places 51.6 million Mexicans in working poverty – that is, their income is not even not enough to buy the basic food basket, a figure that represents 40 percent of the population.

At the same time, he added, the violence is unleashed and is very close to reaching 150,000 homicides, so that in just 4 years the government of López Obrador has already become the bloodiest sexennium of history, accused the PAN deputy.

But the criticism of the federal government does not only come from the right, but some personalities from the left point the finger at the errors of the López Obrador administration. One of the examples is Gibrán Ramírez, who assured through his social networks that to be recognized as a representative of the left, AMLO only has the support of international governments like that of Miguel Díaz-Canel, which is why he decorated with the “Aztec Eagle”.
