During his daily press conference, the Mexican President said that his administration's pursuit of self-sufficiency in fuel consumption with the new refinery, which will be named Olmeca, alludes to the pre-Hispanic culture of the area.

"It will take time, but the construction part, without a doubt, will be finished this year," said the President to the conference journalists.

The refinery is one of the leading infrastructure projects of the Lopez Obrador administration and is located in the Mexican state of Tabasco, in the southeast of the country.
