AMLO reacts harshly to The Economist’s cover: “Fool, liar and interference”

This Friday, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador confirmed the cover of the magazine. Economist, Dedicated to the President of MexicoWrong Messiah “ This “Majadhera, Liar and Investigator”.

During his traditional morning conference in the Treasury Room at the National Palace, Lopez Obrador, the cover of the prestigious British publication, asked not to vote for the Mexican Morena and promised that there would be no professional ethics.

“They put out this funny card, so rudely, of course a liar, they call me the ‘false messiah.’ Do you remember the tropical messiah? Well, this is the only one, still unethical, they call the Mexicans not to vote for what we can represent.” I’m going to go to the UK and ask the British to vote for my Labor friend. Well, I can not do that because it is similar to English. ”, He insisted.

The Mexican president has promised that this will happen because there is a lot of anger over the changes taking place in the country.

“Then why don’t they even respect the forms … because it’s a mood, a lot of anger, because changes are taking place in the country, and then their representatives in Mexico, the defenders of the policy of looting by organic intellectuals. Everyone who was there now regrets it because people said enough. So we should be respectful, but at the same time, distinguish yourself, we are not one. Now it is our morality that we have to defend. “, He promised.

A few minutes later, Lopez Obrador confirmed that the people of Mexico were one of the most politicized in the world, saying “the English press does not know this”.

“For example, what does that magazine do? This is ridiculous and you can do everything in journalism and politics, but don’t fool yourself into one. Imagine a cover like a poster … this is a very bad campaign, Pasquin … then it won’t help you. If the media is already facing a severe credibility crisis. These popular magazines go through a difficult situation, but if they do not change the editorial policy and act ethically, they will not even be read in London, ”he concluded.

This Thursday, the most recent version Economist As listed by the Mexican President “Wrong Messiah”.

By the editorial entitled “Voters must control power-hungry president in Mexico”, Although the British media did not have some of the disadvantages of other populist leaders for AMLO “This is a danger to Mexican democracy,” Tabasco said.

Since his campaign, Lopez Obrador has produced a speech with two adversaries: “the people,” his supporters and the “elite”, who he condemns as criminals and traitors, blaming the country’s problems. From there, he continues to move under the argument that “he still builds true democracy”.

However, “He’s a strange creature,” as he usually calls the public vote to solve problems. “As a ploy to remind voters of the shortcomings of previous regimes, it is unique. It is also a mockery of the rule of law.”, Stressed the middle.

That’s why -he said Economist– June 6 elections are appropriate. The government of Lopez Obrador will end in 2024, and the National Assembly is in danger, including governors, state assemblies and local offices.

“Voters have a chance to stop the president by rejecting his party Morena,” the editorial says, but it is unclear to date whether the Mexican will choose that option. The executive still has 61% approval, while “the opposition could not offer a coherent alternative” and “further the levers he controls, Lopez Obrador can follow his plan to replace Mexico”, Insisted the release.
