This a criminal establishment to pick n chose the one to sell out Mexico.
0:28 what they say?
Quiet Riot- Metal Health (Bang Your Head)
Spain hooked them boys up
Toda esa gente son políticos o gente obligada a asistir por sus jefes. Dan pena ajena esos sinvergüenza
¡¡!FUERA EL INE!!!
Power to the people 💪
Mexico doesn’t have democracy or anarchy anything like Mexico it’s very corrupt and what this president it’s stopping all that
Lol…these two casually and nonchalantly not mentioning that these people take home millions of dollars in salaries who weren’t even elected to their positions but placed there by the opposition parties a long time ago as favors.
INE council members are paid 3.6 million pesos a year and these people are defending them. Poor people.
The protesters are ignorant. Don't they know that most of the INE directors get paid ridiculous amounts of money. This is a move from the president to remove expenses.
Casually doesn’t mention that the directors of INE get paid 14,000 USD a month 😂😂😂
NBC isn’t translating right to the people USA. That what happens when you don’t speak English and Spanish correctly like I do. He is cutting funding to the corrupt Federal INE voting system, that make 3 times more money than the people from the United States of America
Knew this is coming when the president gave Biden a hard time last year.
It’s obvious that the old man 👨🏼🦳💩 wants a coup in the 2024 Elections since he fears of losing the presidential elections no wonder why he has the entire military on his side
Can he run as an Elf?
Working people in Mexico has had enough. America can learn a lot from Mexico’s president.
Looks like a welfare mob headed to America as usual.
So it’s trash day huh 🤷🏼♀️
Yep. That’s what Mexico needs: less protection for their already very questionable elections. Good job.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Mexican president is not a democrat, in fact he's is a good friend of Diaz Cancel, Daniel Ortega and Maduro, he wants to disappear INE to appropriate the elections and establish his political party permanently, we may compare him with Vladimir Putin or Fidel Castro both dictators 😉
At safeway
Crack addicts said a million dollars a day in cocaine is good enough
That looks like a lot more than "thousands".
Their leaders are mafia for pay not just power.
That's sad that this report only shows one side of the narrative. The reform looks to terminate with high wages of supervisors and reduced the numbers of supervisors which are many of them.
A.MANUEL LOPEZ OBRADOR , MEXICOS PRESIDENT IS A COMMUNIST. MEXICO CAN TURN LIKE CUBA AND VENEZUELA…HOPE U.S HELP MEXICO TO STAY A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY🙏
They were thousands but we are millions who support the 4t
THIS MARCH IS TO PROTECT A CORRUPT ELECTORAL INSTITUTE THAT ONLY SIDES ONE WAY (PRI PAN) THIS CORRUPT PARTY'S THAT STOLE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM 🇲🇽 MEXICO? THEY DONT ACCEPT THAT? AND MAYORITY OF PROPLE ARE TIRED OF THIS RATS HELPING THEMSELVES AND BILLIONERS NOT TAXING (THE RICH)
Democracy is being challenged world wide. Is fascism making a comeback?? Will History repeat itself??.
You Woman have failed across the world. Coronavirus exposed all of you. Now man has no use for your drama
Daming……… KAKAMPINK 🤩
sna ganyan din d2 nung pinasa yung CONfIDENTIAL FUND ni Ngiwi at Fiona
Also, the Mexico and the Peru are in a serious diplomatic trauma threatening the relationship cut off between the 2. Peru's also continuously facing the public protests against the disposal of the previous president Pedro Castillo during the constitutional fight between the Legsis. and Exec. of the country.
This people are supporting the past corrupt government to understand this why don't you inform about the trial of Genaro Garcia Luna? So the people can have a better idea where this come from and they're trying to do. AMLO IT'S TRYING TO DO THE BEST FOR HIS COUNTRY.
MexicanPresident callingBiden: "hey how did you do it again? In a similar pickle"
The real story is. That there is enough people left living in Mexico to vote.
Lemme guessMAGA inspired too?lmao . How many time THE PEOPLE going to do this while media attempts to narrative change and detain truth. We're is the aposing side who voted for him? If he won
Money seems to always win 😪 Stay strong
Toxic chemicals delivered to Kramatorsk
◽In addition, the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation received information that on 10 February 2023, a rail transport arrived in Ukraine (Kramatorsk) with a cargo of chemicals in one of its cars, accompanied by a group of foreign nationals.
◽The car was detached and towed to the territory of the Kuybyshev Iron and Steel Works in Kramatorsk, where it was unloaded under the control of the Security Service of Ukraine and the AFU command representatives.
◽The consignment consisted of 16 sealed metal boxes, eight of which were labelled with a chemical hazard symbol, BZ inscription and marked with two red bands, corresponding to the class of poisonous substances of temporary incapacitation action. Five of the boxes were labelled as 'C-S-RIOT', three were labelled as 'C-R-RIOT' with a single red band, which corresponds to substances with an irritant action.
◽The cargo was placed on the U.S.-manufactured armoured vehicles, which moved to the combat line of contact as part of the convoy.
◽On 19 February, 11 cars of specially marked shrapnel ammunition have been unloaded in Kramatorsk. The unloading took place at night on a platform in the suburbs, with the car labelled as 'Building materials', 'Cement'.
◽According to the information of the Russian Ministry of Defence, the U.S. Army has previously upgraded its shrapnel rounds to be loaded with ready-to-use, liquid formulated irritant acids.
◽The facts of the simultaneous delivery of toxic chemicals and protection means indicate an attempted large-scale provocation using the BZ psychotropic warfare agent during the conflict.

@mod_russia_en – facts only
Great video as always, thank you for breaking it down once again!! Making money is an action. Keeping money is a behavior, but "Growing money is Wisdom".
The govts of the world do not work for the people, they work for their deep state unelected overlords.
MANY OF THESE "PROTESTORS" WERE FORCED BY THEIR COMPANIES AND LITERALLY BUSSED IN BY ORDER! MANY OF THESE DON'T EVEN KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROPOSAL AND UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS ABOUT! FAR MORE VOTERS SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT'S PROPOSAL HOWEVER THERE'S A SERIOUS CORRUPT INSTITUTION THAT'S TRYING TO PREVENTING IT FORM PASSING BECAUSE THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS WERE SOO CORRUPT THAT THEY STOLE THE ELECTION NUMBEROUS TIMES. THE CORRUPT PRI AND PAN PARTY WANT TO PREVENT THIS FROM PASSING.
There's no reason to reduce election oversight but money or/and manipulation.
