Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador commented on the COP26 climate summit, saying: "These summits are held to protect the environment, and they are attending by private planes...Enough hypocrisy and heresy."

On Wednesday, Obrador likened the COP26 climate summit to the World Economic Forum in Davos, and said: "Do you remember the Davos summits, technocrats and neoliberals?", referring to the meeting that brings together global influencers in economics and politics in the ski resort in Switzerland every year.

"We have to fight the terrible inequality in the world," he said.
