López The outgoing president has in fact delayed and not permitted open pit mining for 2 years. ( see attach) One of his deputies tried to save face and say they were back logged due to Covid. Hopefully there is pressure mounting on the meetings they are currently in and this illogical stance by Lpez and his Protege' Claudia is put to rest. I know one of the other opponents recently brought up the mining fund for communities Lopez gave the money to his buddies vs the support that was earmarked for mining communities. Mexico needs to establish itself as a country where mining is promoted and protected. This president has clearly not done that. I anticipate logical minds to prevail and on 15 April we get a huuuuge up day as this risk is clarified.
