EPN y Calderón gastaron 1,000 MDP en planta para vacunas de influenza que nunca se construyó

I came across an article about former Mexican presidents, Enrique Peña Nieto and Felipe Calderón, spending 1,000 MDP (Mexican Pesos) on a flu vaccine plant that was never built. The staggering amount of money spent without any visible results immediately caught my attention.

According to the article, the money was intended to fund the construction of a plant that would manufacture flu vaccines in Mexico. However, after several years and millions of pesos spent, the project never materialized, leaving taxpayers wondering where the money went. The project was reportedly canceled after issues arose with the chosen location, permits, and environmental regulations.

This news comes at a time when the country is facing the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The global pandemic has caused Mexico’s healthcare system to crumble under the weight of the surge of cases. The government has been criticized for its response to the outbreak and its inability to provide adequate healthcare services to its citizens.

The fact that significant sums of public funds were spent on a project that never saw the light of day is a blow to taxpayers who are struggling under the current crisis. Moreover, it shows a blatant disregard for accountability and transparency in the management of public funds.

In conclusion, the scandal involving the 1,000 MDP project is a reminder of the need for transparency and accountability in the use of public funds. It also highlights the urgent need to strengthen Mexico’s healthcare system so that the country can adequately respond to the crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic.
