The true story behind BOA

The true story behind BOA

On Monday, a Morena representative reached out to EL UNIVERSAL and requested a meeting, he brought a document that exposed a conspiracy against President López Obrador. The man was hoping this newspaper would publish the story on Tuesday and argued this would help the newspaper to distance itself from the plot since it was mentioned in the document. He was questioned about his sources and in case it was a lawsuit, he would have to provide names. Next thing we know, the macabre plot titled BOA was unveiled during the President’s news conference on Tuesday, where he said the people sent him the document regarding a plot to weaken him, the same document that someone brought over to EL UNIVERSAL the day before. So if the President wants to know who sent him the document, he has to ask a Morena leader where did he get the document from and why did it ask EL UNIVERSAL to publish it as an investigation by its journalists.
