“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.”
