I am tired of your lying to try to make a point that you could have made truthfully. Sorry you got called out, but really not sorry. Be better.

Once again, I don’t think you understand the scale of the storm. Or the scale of the response that DID happen.
I was here. I have family here. Could things be better? Yes. Could they have been a lot worse? Absolutely.

Acapulco’s PR value? Have you followed the city in the past 20 years?

The base is literally in the city. Check a map.

Your right. Despite poor government from Morena, they still vote for them. The poor trust no other party, and politics are a team us vs them there as they are in the USA.

But you do not have to make up claims to try and make your point. There are plenty actual examples. Be better.

That picture is from Tierra Colorada, about 30 minutes outside the city. One of the many landslides they encountered.
And wait now it’s the “only times he visited Acapulco?” What happened to he didn’t visit????

You obviously did not read how this storm exceeded all weather predictions by an exponential margin. That morning it was a storm that might have gone cat 2, and was expected to hit far away from the city. Read page 9 www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP1...

If you want to crucify government for mismanagement leading to the downfall of Acapulco, there are 40+ years of it. But regarding Otis, they did try. Less so for John.
But Otis was like nothing Mexico had ever seen. The city looked like a bomb had gone off, literally.

The city has needed investment and help for years. The earthquake, the violence, the horrible infrastructure has wiped Acapulco off the map for Int’l tourism. And the past three mayors have fiddled while “Rome” burns.

First of all, once again, scale of destruction. Second you do know that John hit 3 weeks before your article.
Look, I am not defending Morena, at all. The response could have been light years better. But your claims of not lifting a finger, AMLO not coming, weeks of pillaging etc are false

Your article is from the first week after the disaster. We are not talking “weeks” to restore order.

You do realize that the city was cut off? No electricity, water, food, cell service for days. It took several days to open the roads into the city.
The army was in the city within days trying to restore order. 10k troops. I don’t think you understand the scale of the destruction.

He did. Several times. What that article was about was that he was not going to go to parts of the city where he claimed the demonstrations were staged by critics. Again, not a fan of AMLO. But you are spreading misinformation.

The government paid out 8,000 per person to clean up/paint, up to 70k per house to reconstruct, months of basic groceries distributed, furniture and appliances. Set up clean water and free healthcare sites all over. I’m not a fan of Morena, but they did “lift a finger” and more.
