- It is no secret that the president’s favorite sport is baseball.
- While the levels of violence continue to rise in the country, the president preferred to go to play a baseball game.
- Users on social networks have shown their outrage due to the priorities shown by the authorities to solve the problems.
Since Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) became president of Mexico made it clear that one of his greatest passions is baseball. On multiple occasions he has stated that it is his favorite sport and he has practiced it since he was a child in his native Tabasco. Despite the passing of the years, his taste has not changed and he keeps it current.
During his six-year term, he has visited stadiums on several occasions to play matches. In fact, In 2019, he made an analogy regarding his state of health. At that time, some doubted his true condition because he is an older adult.
“I haven’t been able to see the doctor but I’m still hitting over 300. I see people very hopeful and we are not going to fail the Mexicans. The people will continue as they are now, very proud of their government”.
Is AMLO’s top priority baseball?
While today AMLO again expressed his love for baseball. Through your social networks shared a video in which he faces the team of the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS).
The reason for the meeting was to take advantage of the visit of two Mexican emblems of that sport. In the first place Chito Ríos, who is the pitcher with the most strikeouts in the history of our country. Also Vinny Castilla, who is the Mexican hitter with the most home runs in the Major Leagues.
We beat the IMSS team 4 to 2, although they put some cachirules under 60 and were reinforced by Chito Ríos, the pitcher with the most strikeouts in the country’s baseball history, and Vinny Castilla, the Mexican batter with the most home runs in the Major Leagues. 1/2 pic.twitter.com/vJyqmsRBry

The country’s problems that have not been addressed
For its part, the publication of the president’s video on his social networks immediately generated the anger of the users. Among the comments you can read those who point out that four Mexicans are murdered every hour due to the high levels of violence that prevail in the national territory.
Similarly, other people indicate that 10 femicides are committed every day in the country. To date it is one of the most serious problems and should be a priority for the rulers.
While within the field of health there are also several complaints. The recent announcement of the hiring of Cuban doctors made visible the conditions that doctors in our country must face.
Especially those who work in rural areas are the most affected. Every year various cases of assaults, kidnappings and even murders of people dedicated to patient care are reported.
This situation has increased in recent years and there are no signs that it could decline.
Similarly, the number of specialists in Mexico remains under discussion. Based on the authorities there is a deficit and that is why personnel from other countries were hired. While the reality is that every year there are thousands of young people who present the National Examination of Applicants for Medical Residencies (ENARM) but only a minority get a place.
From all of the above it is indicated that there are other problems of real importance that should be attended to immediately. Instead, AMLO preferred to go play a baseball game and even invested in a professional edition for the video that was shared on social networks.
