AMLO showed once again his ignorance and lack of interest on what each of the athletes who participated in the Olympic and Paralympic games in Tokyo had won.
MEXICO, (October 07, 2021).- President Andrés Manuel López Obrador ( AMLO ) presented awards to Olympic athletes who won medals at Tokyo 2020 during the morning conference on October 6th.
For the awards ceremony in AMLO’s daily morning conference, Commissioner Ana Guevara named the Olympic athletes one by one to go on to receive their award.
However, AMLO showed his ignorance of what each of the Olympic athletes who participated in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games had won.
When the athlete Aremi Fuentes was named, AMLO asked: “What did she come from?” To which Ana Guevara replied: Weightlifting.
The next to be named was Alejandra Valencia and AMLO asked again: Is she? To which Ana Guevara replied: “It’s from Archery too.”
The awards ceremony for the athletes was the result of the sale of “little pieces” from the National Lottery draw on September 15, 2021.
