Highlights of THE MORNING
In his morning press conference, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador pointed out that the update of Federal Roads and Bridges (Capufe) rates corresponds to a adjustment of three percent on average which is below inflation.
“They can't be anything more than adjustments to inflation,” the president said.
The rate leveling came into effect this Wednesday, November 15 on highways and bridges concessioned to the National Infrastructure Fund (Fonadin), in order to cover expenses related to the operation and conservation of sectionsaccording to a statement from Capufe.
The president pointed out that Acapulco, Guerrero, will not enter this adjustmentas part of the Government's actions aimed at lifting the port and the areas affected by Hurricane Otis.
“In Acapulco we are not going to charge. (…) There it is not charged nor will it be charged,” she emphasized.

“About two days ago they started to spread that there were more than 300 dead in Acapulco, and it spread. And do you think it is due to lack of information, because you were surprised, it is a spontaneous matter? No, it is to undermine the Government, thinking that they will be able to discredit the Government and then the mafia will return to its power,” he said.
“On November 20, the day of the Revolution, the pre-campaigns begin, so there are going to be a lot of things, so I tell people, be careful, if you already have to be attentive and act cautiously, now more, because, as they would say in Tabasco 'and the best is the worst it's going to get', so that we don't get scared, everyone calm down," he said.
Despite these versions, the president said that no one is being censored nor will those who gave that information be asked to be fired.
“They are going to show more and more copper, but here we have ways to replicate and we all participate, and censorship is prohibited,” he said.
“There will be no censorship for anyone, we will not see the reporters. Remove them! No no no! First we must guarantee freedomit is better that there are excesses.”
