Youtube took down the President’s video on Mother’s Day

Yesterday, on Mother’s Day , President López Obrador recoded a message to congratulate Mexican mothers but Youtube took down the video for infringing copyright since López Obrador used the song Amor Eterno by Juan Gabriel. After the video was taken down, Sony Music came to the defense and said it had signed the necessary permits for the government to use the song and that the video was deleted for technical reasons. However, we’ve been told that if Sony Music had granted permission, the video wouldn’t have been taken down so it seems like some forgot the ask for permission.

López Obrador’s comments spark outrage among doctors

NGOs formed by doctors didn’t appreciate the comments made by President López Obrador , who accused doctors of joining commercialism during the neo-liberal period. On social media, health workers asked the President to retract himself and show respect for a sector where there are no divisions between “chairos” and “fifís.”They also reminded López Obrador that many health workers have contracted COVID-19 as a result of “the lack of supplies and PPE that your administration hasn’t been able to deliver to all of them. Doctors make a living from the resources we earn for providing our services.”
