“THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS WE CAN'T ADDRESS ... WHOEVER MAY OCCUPY THE WHITE HOUSE.”
“I'm not going to limit myself to condemning corruption and calling for its eradication; I also want to set out ... a new politics, a different economic model, and the strengthening of cultural, moral, and spiritual values that can revitalize our nation.”
Andrés Manuel López Obrador's (AMLO) stunning victory in the Mexican presidential election signals the end of decades of conservative government and the promise of fairer, more honest politics south of the Rio Grande.
AMLO's landslide success was built on a campaign that pledged to tackle corruption, halt privatization of the energy industry, invest in education and infrastructure, open a dialogue with the country's drug cartels, and oppose Trump's border wall.
Mexicans have responded to this platform with a resounding “¡Sí!” Now, AMLO will make a reality of the bold vision set out in A New Hope for Mexico.
“We will strive tirelessly to convince the US government that fellowship, without walls or borders, is the best approach ... we want no more families separated and no more bones in the Arizona desert.”
The newly elected left wing President sets out his programme for a new Mexico. A progressive politician often compared to Jeremy Corbyn and Bernie Sanders, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's campaign galvanised people across Mexico. Here, in his own words, AMLO paints a picture of a country plagued by cronyism and neoliberalism, and declares the dawn of a new era, vowing to uplift poor, indigenous communities and provide jobs and welfare for all. As Trump publicly derides the Mexican people as 'drug dealers, criminals and rapists'. AMLO is critical of Mexico's capitulation to the US.
