Con 289 votos a favor, 193 abstenciones y 0 en contra, se aprueba en lo general modificación a Ley Minera para nacionalizar el litio en México y controlar exploración y explotación. Aunque lxs liberales lo minimicen, el litio costó un golpe de Estado a @evoespueblo. Nomás digo. pic.twitter.com/UMroSMKj6O— ａᥣｉｎａ ɗ ｕａｒｔｅ (@AlinaDuarte_) April 18, 2022
There is! They did manage to successfully block the energy reform, which was plenty more important than the lithium nationalization. Also pretty much every press outlet, every news TV show, every political radio show has been running pro-privatization narratives, even the ones that are purportedly "progressive", things are pretty zany if you peer into the abyss of corporate news outlets. US ambassador in Mexico Ken Salazar has been very vocal about US opposition and congressmen outside Morena's party have been mailing Biden and Salazar expressing their "concern" over growing threats of "authoritarianism". Ken Salazar also claims this violates USMCA, so I expect court proceedings in the near future. There's also a tangible fear that Morena will reach qualified majority on the next term and eventually pass the energy reform which would be a bigger blow but without AMLO, everything's up in the air.
