What is the pension and Afore reform about?
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) assured that with this initiative the Afores “are not touched, on the contrary, they are protected”; It is estimated that these funds total around 40 billion pesos.
“No one’s Afores are touched, on the contrary, they are protected, and I think that will be the case in the future, there is nothing to fear about the pension funds, which belongs to the workers. On the contrary, what we are doing is strengthening those funds”
AMLO
In that sense, he explained “they are trying to manipulate” with the issue, since it is the Afores administrators who usually keep the funds of workers who are not claimed:
“The Afore administrators are left with unclaimed pensions. “Some time passes and they keep that money, that’s why they are also making noise, because that money is left to them.”

Ricardo Salinas Pliego showed alleged concern about the pensions and Afores of Mexicansdue to the reform initiative promoted by Morena in the Chamber of Deputies to promote a Pension Fund for Wellbeing.
However, the third richest man in Mexico assured that “government people do not produce money, they can only steal it from those of us who do produce, they are like parasites”.
“They are going to steal people’s money… would you trust that #Governments have the permission to decide which account is inactive and steal all the money you have, what are the chances that they will ever make a mistake and steal accounts that If they are active, do you think they will return your money?
Obviously they no longer have enough money to continue stealing and they are going to look for where there may be more. Remember that #Governments DO NOT PRODUCE MONEY, they can only steal it from those of us who do produce, they are like parasites.”
