MEXICO Gobierno reitera su posición con casinos
El secretario de Gobernación, Adán Augusto López Hernández, informó, en conferencia de prensa del pasado viernes 12 de mayo, que durante la administración del presidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador no se han otorgado permisos para la operación de casinos, y detalló que se clausuraron 47 casas de juego, las cuales no contaban con permiso de operación. López Hernández
manifestó que durante la administración de Vicente Fox Quesada se entregaron 340 permisos, de ellos, 153 fueron autorizados por el entonces secretario de Gobernación, Santiago Creel Miranda, “este es el mayor número de casinos otorgados durante las últimas administraciones o incluso en la historia del país”, apuntó, añadiendo que en el gobierno de Felipe Calderón se autorizaron 154 permisos para casinos, y en el de Enrique Peña Nieto, 123. En la actual administración, apuntó que, derivado de una orden judicial se dieron tres permisos para operar casinos y actualmente se encuentra en la misma situación la ratifi cación de uno. Asimismo, hay cinco juicios de nulidad que el gobierno federal promovió contra permisos concedidos en la época de Felipe Calderón. Anteriormente, el Presidente mexicano dijo que su administración no favorecerá a los casinos, como no lo hacen con otros tipos de licencias, enfatizando: “Nosotros no vamos a entregar licencias para casinos, así de claros. Como no estamos entregando nuevas concesiones para minería, como no estamos permitiendo la explotación de hidrocarburos con el fracking, como no estamos permitiendo el maíz transgénico para el consumo humano”.
MEXICO Government reiterates AMLO’s position on casinos
The Secretary of the Interior, Adán Augusto López Hernández, said during a press conference on Friday, May 12 that during the administration of current President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), no permits have been granted for the operation of casinos, remarking that 47 gambling houses have been closed for not having an operating permit. López said that during
the administration of Vicente Fox Quesada 340 casino permits were granted and of these 153 were authorized by the then Secretary of the Interior, Santiago Creel Miranda. “This is the largest number of casinos granted during the last administrations or even in the history of the country.” He added that in the Felipe Calderón government 154 permits
for casinos were authorized, and 123 casino permits during the Enrique Peña Nieto government. In the current administration, Lopez pointed out, following a
court order three permits were granted for casino operations, and there is one more awaiting a court order to operate. There are also fi ve license lawsuits to annul casino licenses fi led by the federal government against permits granted during the Felipe Calderón era. On this matter, previously Mexican President AMLO had said that his administration does not favour casinos, just as they do not favour other types of licenses, emphasizing: “We are not going to issue licenses for casinos, that’s clear, as we are not delivering new concessions for mining, as we are not allowing the exploitation of hydrocarbons with fracking, as we are not allowing transgenic corn for human consumption.”
