The Spin
Pro-government narrative
In light of the floods that have devastated areas of central Mexico, the government is taking urgent action to address the situation. Under its emergency plan, the authorities will restore access to isolated communities and conduct a census to uncover missing persons. This thorough response will ensure that no one is left behind.
Government-critical narrative
Like the flooding that affected Mexico City last month, this latest catastrophe is a direct consequence of government incompetence. Decades of institutional neglect and abysmal urban planning have rendered Mexico vulnerable to natural disasters time and again. The only way to break this cycle is for the authorities to invest in Mexico's infrastructure.
