With the complaint of Emilio Lozoya Former presidents Enrique Peña Nieto and Felipe Calderón Hinojosa, as well as all those involved, must be called to testify, said President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
“What should be clear is that this complaint presented by Lozoya and announced by the Prosecutor Alejandro Gertz, implies that the two former presidents, among other servants, are called to appear and testify.
“The former president Calderón, the former president Peña, the deputy they mention, the senators, all those mentioned have to declare, well the one who was Secretary of the Treasury, Videgaray, everyone has to declare that I think is by procedure”, he said at his press conference at the National Palace.
Yesterday the Attorney General of the Republic released a complaint from the former director of Pemex in which he points out that former President Peña Nieto and Luis Videgaray, former Secretary of the Treasury, ordered him to distribute 500 million pesos to pay experts in the campaign presidential elections of 2012 and push the so-called structural reforms.
The head of the Executive said that this does not mean that they are responsible, because that is another matter, because Lozoya has to demonstrate what he is affirming.
“But that they have to declare, they have to do it, I don’t know if the Prosecutor’s Office or in writing, that corresponds to the Prosecutor’s Office, but if there is already a complaint, it has to proceed. If it were not like that, the Prosecutor will not come out to testify, he will not lend himself to a trick, we must wait ”, he said.
President López Obrador reiterated that he cannot become a cover-up or an accomplice, so it is best that everything is known and what happened and that people decide if the former presidents are judged, because it was not only the last six-year term or the Previously, it was a whole period of looting, the neoliberal period.
