President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador On Friday, she said she would not accept the results she published National Council for the Evaluation of Social Development Policy (CONIVAL) On measuring poverty in Mexico during 2018 and 2020.
It was because of the epidemic. Coneval has ways to measure other indicators in another way. I respect, but there is no doubt that people receive support (…). I do not accept the results of this survey, I have other data.”
According to the report’A multidimensional measure of poverty in Mexico′, In 2020, the number of people living in poverty rose to 55.7 million, an increase of 3.8 million compared to 2018.
In the population area in the case of extreme poverty An increase of 2.1 million was recorded, bringing the total number from 8.7 million to 10.8.
On the other hand, the number of people in the case moderate poverty It rose by 1.7 percent, that is, the change was from 43.2 million to 44.9 million.
In this sense, the chief indicated that he has his own method of measurement, so the method of measuring well-being must be modified.
“I see the macroeconomic data, and I can even brag about the results. I will say it because it gives my opponents a lot of courage, it is like that Internet imp who recommends to me: Tell them you are going to be reelected.”
