"The Mexican government has been insufficient in its response to the coronavirus. With poorly communicated and inconsistent messaging that offers no clear guidelines, their federal government’s inaction has given rise to widespread rumors that are beginning to stoke panic and insecurity. Given that Mexico can look to the examples of what not to do in the early onset of this crisis — namely China in January, Italy in February and to a certain extent the United States in the first days of March — one would think political leaders there would be implementing different strategies. So far, 118 cases have been reported in Mexico. We have not heard strong messaging from the Mexican government to “flatten the curve” in an effort to reduce rates of infection, or to practice self-isolation to mitigate transmission. President Andres Manuel López Obrador is adamant about not closing Mexico’s borders or exercising caution at airports. Perhaps his logic stems out of concerns about imposing barriers on trade. However, he has not said as much, and it is further eroding public confidence in his government’s lacking response." https://thehill.com/opinion/international/488538-the-mexican-governments-response-to-covid-19-is-insufficient

[The president says his administration will create two million jobs within nine months, keep up with the existing social programmes that mainly consist of direct subsidies for people with low incomes, and secure more government funds for housing and personal loans for employees with full-time jobs. His administration also plans to move forward with all projects that had been planned before the epidemic came knocking on Mexico's door. "I think our model will be a reference to other countries ... because the neo-liberal model is crashing down and coronavirus only made an already doomed model to come down even faster," Lopez Obrador told reporters this week. "A pandemic shouldn't be affecting the economy so much."] https://www.aljazeera.com/ajimpact/mexico-coronavirus-economic-rescue-plan-fall-short-200407010231993.html

"The leftist leader has focused his coronavirus response on shielding the poor during the economic slowdown, saying that many in Mexico are living a hand-to-mouth existence. Lopez Obrador said 3 million loans would be issued for small businesses in the formal and informal economy next month. “We are going to distribute around 60 billion pesos ($2.5 billion) in May,” he said, without specifying how. Eschewing major stimulus packages floated elsewhere, Lopez Obrador pitched a frugal economic support plan, vowing to take a pay cut and increase public sector austerity." https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-mexico-economy/under-pressure-mexicos-president-to-inject-2-5-billion-into-economy-idUSKBN21Z36H

"Mexico will increase spending on social programmes and infrastructure projects by $25.6bn, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Wednesday. The move is a delayed attempt to jump-start the coronavirus-hit economy. It was not immediately clear how much the package represented increases over previously budgeted spending or if it were mainly a shift in where funds were allocated. The announced package was short on details but appeared to go far beyond the $2.5bn he last week said the government was preparing to inject into the economy in May." https://www.aljazeera.com/ajimpact/mexico-unveils-26bn-coronavirus-stimulus-late-200422183203748.html
