Miguel Rincón does AMLO a favor
Yesterday, businessman Miguel Rincón decided to fulfill a request made by President López Obrador, who is his daughter's god-father, not to participate in a tender where he obtained a contract to sell paper to the federal government to print textbooks for MXN $221.6 million, without requesting compensation. We've been told that those close to the President celebrated Rincón's attitude and they also consider that the President was right to request him to withdraw from the contract because even if some argue that there were no irregularities in the tender process, it is better to set a precedent and distance itself from previous governments .

We've been told she said, “Why is President López Obrador asking lawmakers to vote with their consciousness and not follow instructions?.” The lawmaker has also recognized Reginaldo Sandoval, the PT's coordinator because he didn't issue any instruction to vote in favor of the bill.
