President López Obrador's Vision for Southeastern Development
President López Obrador announces a historic 20% increase in Mexico's minimum wage, praising consensus with business and labor sectors. He dispels misinformation about Christmas bonuses, discusses Acapulco's reconstruction progress, and emphasizes infrastructure projects' impact on the southeast.
In his morning conference from the National Palace, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) began by highlighting a significant achievement — a unanimous agreement between the government, business, and labor sectors to increase the minimum wage by 20%. This landmark decision, set to take effect in January, will raise the daily minimum wage from 207.44 to 248.93 pesos, a move that the President asserted will positively impact thousands of workers.
In the subsequent “Who's Who in Lies” segment, Elizabeth Vilchis exposed misleading information regarding Christmas bonuses at Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) and the Institute of Security and Social Services for State Workers (ISSSTE). Vilchis debunked false claims, reaffirming that Pemex will deliver bonuses to its workers on time, while the ISSSTE will provide annual bonuses to its pensioners.
