This trend of interest in Mexico grew thanks to the President’s speeches, since last Friday.
The dispute between AMLO and journalism generates more controversy in digital than the war in Ukraine.
AMLO’s direct attacks against journalist Carlos Loret de Mola, in the last seven days, instead of harming him, made his Internet search and social networks will increase more than 100 percent.
Before Friday, February 11, between 5 and 7 percent of Internet users searched for the Mexican journalist on the web, but as a result of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s speech on February 9 of this year, when he asked him to reveal his financial income, interest in Loret de Mola reached 73 percent.
But nevertheless, It was last Friday when the discussion between the federal Executive and the journalist escalated into the digital conversation, making it a trending topic in Mexico for more than 24 hours., well below the consumption of news about the conflict between Ukraine and Russia. For example, at 11:00 p.m. Loret de Mola had 75 percentage points, one more than Ukraine, while AMLO only reached 50 points in mentions.
The movements of Carlos Loret de Mola in the last seven days have an average search of 18.2 percent of Internet users, while issues related to AMLO are 27 percent, being Mexico City, Yucatan, San Luis Potosí, Querétaro and Morelos the entities with the greatest interaction on the web.
The phenomenon was born after the journalist released an investigation into the luxuries enjoyed by the President’s son, José Ramón López Beltrán, abroad and, consequently, the Executive attacked him revealing his alleged income in public, violating several articles of the Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data.
However, yesterday the issue resurfaced in the morning conference at the National Palace, when Andrés Manuel López Obrador reiterated that, despite criticism and accusations of illegality, he will continue to make Carlos Loret de Mola’s income transparent.
This, he says, with proof of invoices on his assets that “should be public” as if he were a public official and not another citizen with tax data that should be protected.
“It is a substantive issue, this is the formal, the 35 million (Loret de Mola’s supposed annual income). We are not messing with assets, neither his nor family members, because surely we are going to be surprised, stunned, but even more so, just like this case there are others.
“And although it may seem incredible, there are those who earn 10 times more than the 35 a year. You guys are professional voyeurs, right? Do not leave it to me, otherwise they will sanction me, ”he explained yesterday at his conference.
AMLO also minimized the fact that, on Twitter, the hashtag #TodosSomosLoret became one of the most used since the weekend, something that, he assured, was due to a “bot campaign”, despite the fact that the same network social made him notice that all paid insertions have the legend “promoted”.
For 10:00 p.m. yesterday, Tuesday, February 15, 2022, The digital dispute between followers of AMLO and the Opposition had already been balanced, but not extinguished, because with the hashtags #AMLONoEstaSolo, #LagrimasDeCacadrilo and #ViejoLloron, the social network of the little blue bird was flooded with opinions for and against.
The topic of the war between Russia and Ukraine on the web climbed again up to 76 percentage points at 6:00 p.m. and positioned itself in the middle of the searches for AMLO and Loret de Mola to end the night; the first with 39 and the second with 14 percent of interactions.
Although the searches do not represent the opinion of the precise digital user, since many look for Loret de Mola to defend AMLO or vice versa, the interaction in social networks does make visible the clash of discussion:
