When someone asks AMLO about the prison proposal for those who burn books, he answers with things that are not directly related to the topic and uses irrelevant topics to distract from the original question.

Se nos cayó la economía, pero ya logramos recuperar los niveles previos al COVID. Hoy existen inscritos al seguro social 21 millones 236 mil 866 trabajadores, es decir, 623 mil 330 más que antes de la pandemia; y lo más importante es que, sin crecimiento, según el indicador macroeconómico, pero con una mejor distribución del ingreso, hemos logrado aminorar la desigualdad y la pobreza


Red Herring because he starts talking about economics in Mexico following to give information about the amount of registered people in Mexico's social health program (IMSS)
