A punto de aterrizar en el Aeropuerto de la Ciudad de México, el piloto de Copa CM136 tuvo que abortar la maniobra porque había otro avión en la pista.
Es muy preocupante lo que está pasando acá

The Mexican president gives a 2-hour press conference & gets away without answering why the economy contracted in his first year in power, as announced today.
A reminder access doesn't necessarily means more transparency..

AMLO's judicial 'reform' needs to be understood for what it is: a cynical power grab after Mexico's Supreme Court ruled against some of his key policies
Seen that way, it's not a surprise investors are reacting the way they are

Mexican peso & the Thai Baht are in a neck-and-neck race to be the best performing EM currency this year (vs $) 🇲🇽🇹🇭. Argentine peso the clear loser

5 - With this election, Colombia joins the ranks of nations in Latin America & elsewhere that have voted in anti-establishment leaders. The demand for an alternative resonated as the pandemic caused a spike in poverty that’s been compounded by inflation
AMLO confirms he won't attend the WEF in Davos because he is busy fighting gasoline theft & starting his gov. Another contrast with his predecessors, who loved that annual hangout

Lo que más me preocuparía si fuera AMLO no es tanto la bolsa ni el peso sino el rápido encarecimiento de la deuda mexicana; el MBono a 10 años ya toca hoy 8.9%, máximos desde 2010

Guzman lasted almost 31 months on the job and that makes him one of the longer-lasting economy minister since Argentina returned to democracy 40 years ago. That tells you how hard this role is..
Pemex received at least $80 billion in government support since AMLO is president
Let that sink in: 80 BILLION DOLLARS
And it didn't solve any of the problems the company has..

4 - Petro's election is likely to shake up Colombia's relations with Washington after being for decades the region’s strongest US ally. Whereas before there was automatic alignment, the White House should now expect at least respectful disagreements

Have some sympathy for us, Mexico-based economics correspondents, who have to see 2 hours 40 minutes of AMLO's presser for a comment on interest rates..
Big decision by Mexico's Supreme Court late Friday: it temporarily suspends AMLO’s electoral reform in a win for the opposition

It's past 11 p.m., we only have 19% counted in Mexico & no signs of the rapid count from the electoral institute
Regardless of the reasons, in most of Latam at this hour we would have known the results of an election..

AMLO has no room for finesse, legal technicalities or consensus-building. In his last five weeks, he's pressing ahead with a dramatic revamp of Mexico’s constitution to leave an indelible nationalist mark on politics & public life🧵
