Political campaigns have begun to elect mayors and local deputies in Mexico, and energy experts agree that the electoral proposals on energy matters presented by the 10 political parties, through the National Electoral Institute (INE) , lack concrete ideas and are more brief compared to those presented in previous years. Víctor Ramírez, spokesperson for the Mexico, Climate and Energy platform, indicated that there is an evident division into two blocks, whose main tendencies are to be allies of the government or to continue the path of the energy reform of the last six-year term. In the first case they talk about giving continuity to the issue of energy sovereignty that President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has raised in his speech, while in the second block we can notice those parties that continue the path of the previous government, "but already looking for a greater investment, competitiveness and energy administration,” he said. “Everyone is looking to have a market or an energy sector, however there are two large areas that are most in line with what has happened in recent years in the country; The contrasts range from strengthening state companies or promoting a more open vision of private participation. The difference lies in a more social vision than that of a few years ago,” said the representative of the organization.
Manuel Martínez Fernández, researcher at the Renewable Energy Institute of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), also pointed out the existence of two sides where one supports the construction of Dos Bocas and the decisions of the current president of Mexico, “without changing any commas. between the electricity laws, the proposed Hydrocarbons Law” and, in general, the lack of interest in the environment and climate change. However, he asserted America Cell Phone Number List that the country is in a serious problem of regression in energy matters, since on the one hand, the promotion of clean energy and the promotion of fossil fuels is stopped without thinking that the country's supply is not sufficient to achieve independence in the sector. “These proposals attack renewable energies; Instead of carrying out a chemical refinery operation to reduce the amount of sulfur and be able to sell it in the merchant shipping sector, they have decided that it would better impact the health and environment of all Mexicans,” Martínez Fernández replied.
The draft of the Hydrocarbons Law, what it does is give us bad designs about the way in which the new authorizations and the concessions already given can be handled, basically focused on the distribution of gasoline, transportation and it turns out that now for reasons of sovereignty energy, national sovereignty and economic sovereignty can cancel a concession and a public body can enter, which is practically an expropriation, he explained. In those things that are really harmful to the environment, contrary to climate change and contrary to renewable energies are Morena, PT, PES he commented. In contrast, those platforms that defend the energy transition are placed, such as PAN, PRI, PRD and but that however only do so in a contradictory way to the current government, “they are more about directly attacking Morena than in support.” of renewable energies,” said Víctor Ramírez.
