There are quite a few layers of background to this story.

I would suggest an excellent article in Forbes from 27 April 2022, entitled Back To Mexico’s Statist Energy Future. https://www.forbes.com/sites/sap/2022/04/25/sustainable-manufacturing-must-balance-profitability-people-and-the-planet/?sh=1c815614df3b .

As you probably guessed, it's largely about power. No, not that kind . . . the other kind.

The economic disparity in Mexico can help explain why many Mexicans don’t see a competitive energy sector as having any relationship to their own economic well-being. Mexico has close to the world’s average per capita income, yet half of its population lives in grinding poverty.

And support for Lopez Obrador should not obscure the fact that Mexicans would be delighted to embrace a future of healthy air and a vibrant economy. But next time, the tide will need to show how it can lift all economic ships, if it is going to get their support.
