The theater of invisible resources
Manuel Añorve, the coordinator of the PRI in the Senate, has just thrown a direct gauntlet at the government. In the midst of this crisis over fuel prices, he demands to know: where is the extra money that is coming in from oil?
The barrel exceeds 100 dollars thanks to the conflict in the Middle East. It is money that falls from the sky for public coffers. But according to Añorve, that sky has very opaque clouds.
“It has not yet been reported how much additional income the country receives,” said the legislator, calling for clear accountability for these extraordinary resources.
This is where things get interesting. Because Añorve not only points out the problem, but also proposes concrete solutions. He sees that invisible money and thinks of two urgent destinations.
It could be used to purchase medicines and medical supplies. Or, pay attention to this, to fulfill that old campaign promise: lower the price of gasoline.
The gasoline that burns your pocket
And right there is the second act of this drama. While there is talk of surpluses, the reality is different at the pumps. Prices don’t go down, they go up.
The magna already exceeds 24 pesos per liter. The premium goes over 30. And diesel, the one that drives the country, continues with constant increases that hit us all.
“The rise in diesel prices has a direct impact on inflation and the cost of the basic basket,” Añorve warned.
This is no longer political theory. It is the supermarket cart that is increasingly difficult to fill. It is the real anguish at the table of Mexican families.
The senator connects the dots: extra money here, high prices there. And in the middle, an uncomfortable silence about how those resources are managed.
Their final call is simple but powerful: transparency and action. Because in this political theater, while some act with speeches, others pay the entrance with their purchasing power.
