For his part, AMLO was walking inside the compound, in the facilities of the new air terminal, where the delivery and reception of the AIFA works took place, surrounded by people, with reporters and cameramen.
While the president of Mexico continued on his way escorted by members of the armed forcesEpigmenio Ibarra, a personal friend of the president, walked backwards while holding his camera.
Suddenly, a subject, who wears a black walk, crosses it to try to prevent a woman from blocking the path where the president would walk; however, the man trips Ibarra who falls to the ground on his back.
Seeing him fall, AMLO stops walking, raises a hand as a sign that the entourage behind him should stop marching and help the founder of Argus Communication to rejoin.
