Citizen Consultation Votes 70% to Cancel NAIM Airport

AMLO's citizen consultation voted 70% to cancel the New Mexico City International Airport (NAIM) in Texcoco — a $13 billion project that was already 30%+ complete with bonds sold in international capital markets. The Peña Nieto government (still in office until November 30) expressed concern about contract obligations. The cancellation became a major controversy during the transition, with investor confidence shaken.
