Mexico remarking predisposition toward Climate goals to ease doubts --- At the same time that president López Obrador has formally introduced on behalf of the people’s public interest an initiative to amend the Mexican constitution with a complete turn around on the principles ruling generating electric power in the whole country by private companies (a PERFORMATIVE ACT that could be MISREPRESENTED in its INTERPRETATION for an INTENTION to increase the share of fossil fuel in the energy matrix of México), president López Obrador just emphasized at his famous daily press conference its aim to increase in the future hydro-electric power generation from 8% to 18% (one of the reasons behind could be to make clear before international and local audiences what does this constitutional amendment initiative means in terms of impact on climate, giving the CONTEXT he has been -for decades- a strong supporter of Mexican Oil & Gas State Company: PEMEX). ¿Could this being considered a case of SMART PERSUASION helping him to achieve Mexico’s diplomatic objectives introducing FACT BASED ARGUMENT or in what aspects do you think it falls short on that and lingers more toward just HOT AIR?
