Biden’s barks no match for AMLO’s Mexican nationalization bites

Mexico nationalization
Share on FacebookShare on X

President of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, is making a move towards nationalization by purchasing 13 power plants from a Spanish energy company called Iberdrola for $6 billion. The purchase will give CFE, the state-owned power company, majority control over the electricity market. López Obrador has also announced his intention to nationalize other major industries, such as mineral and oil production, all in the name of prioritizing Mexico’s national interests.

This move towards nationalization of Mexico has caused controversy, with the United States and Canada opposing the decision and even threatening a trade war. However, López Obrador remains steadfast in his commitment to prioritizing the interests of his own country.

While this move towards nationalization may seem like a throwback to the past, López Obrador has justified it as necessary for economic and political sovereignty of Mexico. In his view, the country has been too dependent on foreign investment, which has left it vulnerable to outside interests. He believes that by taking control of key industries, the country will be better equipped to serve the needs of its citizens.

López Obrador’s critics argue that his approach is misguided and will only lead to economic turmoil. They point to previous attempts at nationalization in Mexico and other countries, which often led to inefficiency and corruption. However, López Obrador remains undeterred, and he sees his actions as a necessary step towards a more equitable and prosperous Mexico.

Ultimately, only time will tell whether López Obrador’s gamble will pay off. But one thing is clear: he is determined to put Mexico first, even if it means going against the wishes of some of the country’s most powerful neighbors. It must be noted who are the US and Canada to tell Lopez Obrador how to run his country. The endeavours by Biden and Trudeau to impede Mexico from pursuing its interests reflects the deep-rooted interventionism which the West practices in Latin America.
