Analysis shows megaprojects viewed as solutions in official discourse while Zapatista narratives counter with environmental and gender arguments.
The article provides an analysis of the controversy surrounding the megaprojects of regional development of Mexico proposed by President A.M. López Obrador (2018—2024). The study aims to identify the characteristics of how megaprojects are represented in official and oppositional discourse. It was found that the official discourse presents megaprojects as a means of solving social problems. The Zapatista movement has used environmental, gender and eschatological narratives to delegitimise megaprojects.
