The government of Puebla denounced the existence of 'bot farms' in countries such as Argentina, Costa Rica, and some Asian nations, allegedly funded by the company TV Azteca to disseminate content against the Cable Car Transport System (Cablebús). Governor Alejandro Armenta Mier announced this during his morning conference, as part of the presentation of the 'lie detector,' a tool he said is aimed at countering disinformation surrounding this mobility project. The governor asserted that, despite the narrative of widespread rejection circulating on social media, the population supports the Cablebús, considering it a modern solution for hard-to-reach areas and for reducing travel times. 'We have detected bot farms in Argentina, in Costa Rica, and in Asian countries talking about cable cars and funded by this television station, to which we have expressed our absolute respect,' he stated. Armenta Mier confirmed that the television station maintains a constant campaign of criticism against his administration, after, he said, his government did not agree to a contract that he considered 'disproportionate.' In this sense, he stated that his administration will continue to inform the public objectively and transparently. It is worth recalling that last January, the Cabinet Coordinator, José Luis García Parra, pointed out that TV Azteca would have tried to pressure the state government by requesting more than 2 billion pesos through advertising agreements in exchange for halting a supposed negative media campaign, a proposal that was rejected by the state administration.
