Give the migrants jobs in your country.
The leftist Mexican president is destroying the cultural heritage of his own country.
Morena is a cancer to Mexico. The referendum they held for the local approval of that project was 1% to 2% voter turnout at MOST. Obrador has an ego for his popularity and is full of hypocrisy about bieng humble and anti corrupt.
The best!! Mexican President!!
Vulcan!! Has destroyed more much more!!!
The Mexican people don’t trust the national media or the international media!! No more!!
Fake!! News!!! 😘
We’re killing this Earth. All for profit.
Dammit! Horrific!
It’s time to get with the program, times are changing get with it.
get rid of the drug dealers, the head hunters and your crooked police force and the tainted goverment. Plus removing cartels out might get tourism back. That train will be destroyed at the end. cause they only know violence…Im ok Ill go to disney for a train ride..
…NBC NEWS? 🤵🏻 THANK!! YOU! FOR SHARING RELIABLE INTEL INFORMATION! 🖥 REGARDING AND PERTAINING TO; MEXICO BUILDING A 7 MILLION DOLLARS TRAIN TRACKS!" 🛤 ..MEXICO SHOULD CONSIDER THAT THOSE ARE SACRED! GROUNDS! THAT HAVE PRICELESS! UNDISCOVERED ARTIFACTS! ABOUT THE PRE-COLUMBIAN MAYANS! ⛰👩🏾👨🏽👈🧐
Do they not realize that trains are the least used form of travel? This will only hurt the environment more than it will benefit.
This project will be good for Mexico. I agree with the president.
Viva amlo 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🥰🥰
jesus, its a disaster waiting to happen.
Those are FAKE RIGHT WING AMBIENTALISTS. The American company Vulcan was clearing jungle to extract aggregate for freeway construction in the US; Not one ever complained. Hotel chains were carving out passages to connect underwater rivers so tourists can float from one cenote to another underground; nobody complained. But now that the Leftist governments is building what will be the most advance rail line in the American Continent aimed at tourists but that will be mostly be used by the poorest of the people in Mexico, the elite class all the sudden care about nature? Fuc× them and fuc× conservatives. Every time the top class in Mexico and the US b!tch at a project, it's a sign that the project is good for Mexico and this president understands that…
The President of Mexico is working ethically on the train project. Native land and Mayan people are the main priorities/
Yes it will destroy more sacred lands and water then it can help the public
Shows you tye cartels pretend to be protecting Mexico but are just government agents lying to the naive.. the cartels ignore projects like this for fame.. and instead attack innocents in poor areas for real estate and as you see the cartels are just the mexicsn government
why china is hiring mexicans cartels to bring fentanil to usa usa usa
Either build the train for the tourism money or cut down the forrest for money?
Bravo to Presidente Lopez Obrador for standing up to foreign interests and shutting down America's mining companies destroying the same lands yards away from the rail tracks with impunity. Great job Presidente. Bad investigating job NBC.
I doubt that..
Meanwhile in the People's Democratic Republic of Kalifornia, $99 billion has been spent and 13 years wasted on the "high speed rail project." Not a single mile of track is operating today. I wonder if Mexico will do better at this than Kalifornia's bungling progressive leaders.
‼️You guys saying 100% lies ‼️
You guys have no clue about what you guys saying
Indeed THE TREN MAYA is going and Mexico is protecting all the nature and the resulting and the people who is going to benefit from this is the indigenous people
The Tren Maya is a Turistas trip to see all the wonder if the TROPICAL JUNGLE
By the way : you know that Mexico is working too and doing a CANAL from Golf de Mexico to Oaxaca ( Pacific O )
Mexico 🇲🇽 china 🇨🇳 and Russia 🇷🇺
Mexico woke up
Mexico kicked out the foreign looting companies from Canada and USA
That’s why you just saying
“ Chicken gutters “
This is the president whim like the failed airport, millions of dollars wasted
Fake news
Thank you NBC. Let the world know what the Mexican president is doing to the country, not listening, he cares less. Only cares for his ego.
STOP this project from Lopez Obrador. His other two projects: AIFA airport and Dos Bocas refinery are useless, so will Tren Maya. He is NOT helping the Mexican people. HELP, STOP!!!
It's not about watching videos and wasting your time and strategies, I was ignorant, in doing so until decided to try Mrs Amanda K, and ever since then she has made me $15,000 in every $1,500 I invested in 5 days
Can't hold on to history forever
