The union leader's idea is to seek the help of the Pemex director so that his miner and business friends get preference in hiring and concessions. Gómez Urrutia himself explained this in a text he published in La Jornada last March: 'The working class faces at least two major threats. This is the new mobilization of workers in favor of a business that could bring profitable profits to the Mining Union. As morenistas within the Jucopo of San Lázaro confided to LPO, federal deputy Napoleón Gómez Urrutia would be seeking the director of Petróleos Mexicanos, Víctor Rodríguez Padilla, so that the National Union of Mine, Metallurgical, Steel and Similar Workers is the one that operates the new presidential project. Against the position of the hard core of 'Los Puros de Morena', where the historical mining leader is a member, Gómez Urrutia would have manifested to his fellow deputies that if hydraulic fracturing is opened in the country, the business must remain in the hands of Mexican companies, instead of the Canadian mining companies to which he even has lawsuits (the case of Orla Mining at the Camino Rojo mine). The government proposes mixed contracts for fracking, despite skepticism about regulation. The opposition to fracking from 'Los Puros' and 'Duros de Morena' was manifested openly during President López Obrador's sexenio, that is, with explicit prohibitions against this form of mining, and many remember the resignation of the head of the Secretariat of the Environment of AMLO, Víctor Toledo, who accused Poncho Romo of promoting and approving mining concessions with the use of fracking behind the back of the head of the Executive. In that conflict, Gómez Urrutia sided with Toledo, but now it seems he is seeking to win the business over figures like Víctor Villalobos Arámbula (Poncho Romo's operator in the cabinet of the past sexenio). On the one hand, the resurgence of arbitrary, racist, and unilateral policies that negatively and directly impact workers. We are not only facing profound transformations in the technical realm, but also in the ethical, and it is pertinent to start mobilizing to safeguard the rights already won.' On the other hand, the rapid advance of technology: the use of artificial intelligence, digitization, robotization, which are often implemented without the participation of those who will be most affected: again, the workers. 'The results are evident and unfortunate: readjustments, layoffs, temporary stoppages and even the closure of formal and organized sources of employment. The announcement by Claudia Sheinbaum changed the paradigm, moving away from the hard line of Morena. Thus, a week ago, the Federal Government confirmed that it is analyzing the exploitation of 'non-conventional' sources of natural gas through hydraulic fracturing (known as fracking). With this, Sheinbaum Pardo explained during her morning conference at the Palace, it seeks to face the dependence on that fuel imported from the United States (75% of national consumption, as the president revealed), although with the condition of using 'technologies' that reduce the environmental impact. Immediately, there were those who raised their hand for the work.'
