This Tuesday, there was a debate on the presidential debate . This meeting gathered the campaign coordinators of the five presidential candidates. According to our sources, there was harsh criticism against Tatiana Clouthier regarding the amnesty proposed by Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) . The event was moderated by the former president of the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE), Luis Carlos Ugalde, who at one point asked: “Who wants the floor?” Both Tatiana and Jorge Castañeda raised their hands and she gave the floor to Castañeda, saying: “The elderly first.” Although spoken in jest, the former Chancellor didn't find the remark funny and a couple of minutes later he said: “You think I'm old Tatiana? Well, I'm as old as Andrés.” Afterward, the campaign coordinator of Ricardo Anaya clarified that López Obrador is his younger for three months younger and that he respects Obrador but that if he is “elderly” then she should also address Andrés Manuel as such.

Now, its current director, Tuffic Miguel Ortega , has the challenge of keeping up the pace and improve its services.
The big shot of Dutch businesspeople
