During his concert at the Palacio de los Deportes, Molotov threw a direct dart al current “4T” government (Fourth Transformation); The public responded with screams, raised fists and beer flying through the air, but outside the venue, the echo was different: on social networks, the band became a trend and opinions were divided.
Molotov turned 30 and returned to do what it does best: provoke, question and set fire to the stage and also to social networks because, during its concert on October 30, the group not only reviewed its classics, but, in front of more than 18 thousand people, made known what his political position was and what opinion did you have of the current administration. Were Paco Ayala and Miky Huidobro who raised their voices:
“We were a very cool country, nor are we aligned with any Fourth Transformation,” said Miky. Paco added: “Ch*nguen his mother.”
“We are here because we are just like you, we are Mexicans and we love this country where we were born, We take care of it and, although, increasingly, things are going a little worse for us, this song continues to say the same thing“Huidobro continued, before performing “Gimme tha power.”
Molotov criticized AMLO, accusing him of dividing the country.

After the concert, polarization reached X (formerly Twitter). Some accused them of having “sold out” or “forgetting their rebellious origins,” others defended them, remembering that they have always criticized all governments. Among the most notable reactions, the announcer René Franco ironically:
“The same people who asked to give them ‘all the power’ are now complaining. Don’t act stupid, @molotovmx!”
For his part, the journalist Jairo Calixto Albarrán It was harder: “Molotov joins the list of pseudo-anarko rockers who became prianists-calderonicolites-salinists.”
Meanwhile, figures such as Claudia Ramírez They defended the group: “They get angry with Molotov because he says what he has always said… but now it’s their turn.”
Others, like Chumel Torres and Sergio Sarmiento, applauded the message, arguing that the band “he just pointed out what everyone sees.”
Hundreds of users began to debate whether Molotov had “betrayed his essence” or if, on the contrary, they had only reaffirmed the critical stance that has characterized them since the nineties. Some They were called “sellouts” or “forgetting their roots,” ensuring that “they have already taken off their masks” and that “they speak from their privilege.”
“We were a very cool country! Fuck the 4T!”

Others, however, came to their defense, arguing that the band has always pointed out abuses of power regardless of who is in government. “Molotov was never from one side, he was from the people and from the nonconformity,” wrote one follower.
It is not the first time that Molotov bothers the current government. Since his debut in the nineties with songs like “Voto Latino”, “Frijolero” or “Gimme Tha Power” itself, his speech has been to point out corruption regardless of color or party.
In 2022, They released the song “We do not forget”, where they review the political scandals from Echeverría to López Obrador. And in 2023, Paco Ayala had already declared in an interview that the government of AMLO was “the most PRI member we have had in years” and that Morena was made up “60% of PRI members.”
Congruence and memory is something that Molotov does not have, a band that, in the style of Alex Lora, wants to sell a rebellion that it does not have. pic.twitter.com/1B933YFFsR
