RE:RE:Mexico’s lower house backs lithium nationalization plans You need to read the whole story
This was a reactionary vote by the leftest lower house of the Mexican government to an earlier vote the government lost in the upper house ( senate)
The Government is split. This is only a bill and not law The current president who proposed this bill is leaving office. In any event all moot
Under the lithium bill, Mexico would reserve the sole right to exploit the metal via a state-run company, and would not grant any concessions, the president said. Mexico does not have any commercial production of lithium.
