This article offers a spotlight on the energy sector reorganization, which is at the heart of AMLO’s economic and social policy and its national and popular development model. The article shows how the new government’s policy is the reversal of the reform of the energy sector implemented in the 2000s, in the context of the economy’s opening and liberalization . Advocating a return to “Energy Nationalism” and “all oil”, the State regains a central role. In this new context, the supervision of private companies partly explains the President’s dislike towards the energy transition and renewable energies, supported by the private sector. However, this policy is at odds with the new treaty signed by the three North American countries (Canada, Mexico, USA) in July 2020, the T-Mec, which imposes equal treatment for the three countries’ companies and supports and does not value fossil energies. Could this threaten this new Free Trade Treaty?
