Who is Daniel Chavez Moran?

He was born on November 16, 1951 in Delicias, Chihuahua, México. At 21 he became the youngest person to receive his Civil Engineering degree from the University of Guadalajara. From that moment he began his professional career.

His first projects were focused on the construction of lodging houses in Mazatlán, Sinaloa. In this way, in 1974, he inaugurated his first hotel called Paraíso Mazatlán, the masterpiece of one of the most successful businessmen in the country.

Currently, Grupo Vidanta owns and operates more than 30 luxury resorts on the most important beach destinations of Mexico such as Nuevo Vallarta, Riviera Maya, Los Cabos, Acapulco, Puerto Vallarta, Puerto Peñasco, Riviera Nayarit and Mazatlán. This company is also responsible for the development of the first private and privately owned international airport in Mexico: the Mar de Cortés International Airport, in Puerto Peñasco, Sonora.

Daniel Chavez is no longer active in day-to-day construction work, but he continues to generate ideas for luxury hotels or resorts. With this work, he has obtained recognition as Entrepreneur of the Year, National Entrepreneur Award and Tourism Entrepreneur of the Year.

In addition, he was included in CNN’s list of “The 100 Best Businessmen in Mexico” and for 2018 he was named part of the business advisory council of the president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador .

When they had dinner with Donald Trump in the White House

The relationship between López Obrador and Chávez Morán became so close that in 2020 he was one of the businessmen invited to dinner with the former president of the United States, Donald Trump, at the White House .

During that meeting, recorded on social networks by the Morena representative, Patricia Armendáriz, he could be seen very happy and grateful with the invitation and with Donald Trump.

One of the most striking aspects of this meeting was that the directors of the Shell oil company were also present, which announced its “investment approval”, won an oil exploitation area and sold the Deer Park refinery to Pemex.

It is expected that after this information is revealed, the Chávez family and the representatives of their companies will come out to clarify the situation that, with each new statement, grows larger and more entangled, and things are not looking good for president Lopez Obrador, whois apparenty involved with many of those that he calls “La Mafia del Poder” (the Mafia of power).

Millions of Mexicans that voted for AMLO in 2018 are beginning to think that Andrés Manuel López Obrador and his family are as corrupt as the predecesors that he constantly criticizes.
