On the bright side, a bunch of corrupt officials are getting owned and hundreds of millions of dollars are being saved by stopping the illegal seizure and sale of petroleum.

I think I saw an article suggesting that Peña Nieto may be incriminated.

So they're not actually shortages and we should've brought this up earlier.

Perhaps one of AMLOs biggest planks was stopping the petroleum blackmarket. Several officials have been arrested on several levels of government. AMLOs admin has already found about 80% of the petroleum robbery that was taking place.

This investigation is causing fuel service stoppages in a handful of states.

That's my understanding at least. But it's not an actual nation-wide shortage.

well that's a little more badass than i was expecting

neolibs joked about amlo saying that the strenght of his character would be key in combating corruption and look at this poo poo. hes already found out a 3 billion dollar embezzling operation and its obvious to everyone that no amount of money could bribe him. i had tempered expectations but dude is knocking it out of the park so far

his approval ratings were in the shitter when he left office because, among other things, of how transparently he and the rest of the government were covering for the cops that kidnapped and murdered all those schoolkids a few years ago. also was generally perceived as corrupt as gently caress. i would think that the fact that he solicitied a nine-figure bribe from el chapo would be completely unsurprising to mexicans

i know one of the core tenants of neoliberalism is that hideously criminal politicians in the west have a standing super-pardon where they arent even accused of crimes (see: bush, george) and amlo's government actually prosecuting epn, like he has a mandate to do, would be incredible

AMLO isn't gonna prosecute EPN, just drop him off in a street wearing a sign saying "I'm the puta who took a 10 mil bribe from cartels" and let nature take its course

The gas shortages are becasue the traditional methods of fuel transport, the pipelines, are getting tapped illegally. Instead, it's all coming by truck which means less fuel in general. The gov't is trying to attack it from both ends, both reducing the access the thieves have to their sources and trying to pursue them more aggressively.

a 100 million bribe is a good quality bribe, enough to spend half of it defending it in court for the rest of your life and you’re still filthy rich
