Mexico will sell its presidential plane to Tajikistan for $92 million, announced President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. "We have never used it but I would have been ashamed, I say it sincerely, to use this aircraft," AMLO said in a video shared Thursday night.
The money from the sale will be used to build two hospitals in the southwestern states of Guerrero and Oaxaca, two of Mexico's poorest areas, the president added. The plane was bought for a total of $ 218 million by former President Felipe Calderon (2006-2012) and his successor Enrique Peña Nieto (2012-2018)
