Fact or Fiction? AMLO's War on Critics and Online Manipulations
AMLO hammered away at the specter of online bots – phantom social media accounts he asserts are mobilized by shadowy forces to sully his name… Insisting these virtual armies threaten to brainwash Mexico's youth, AMLO unveiled a new recurring segment: “Who's Who in Bots”.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO to his followers), delivered another installment of his signature performance during this morning's press conference. These daily spectacles blend policy deep-dives, telenovela-worthy drama, and guerilla theater against his perceived rivals. Today's show upped the ante, highlighting AMLO's twin obsessions: populist reforms meant to undo decades of market-friendly policies and a healthy dose of conspiracy-tinged grievance about his critics.
In what amounts to a history lesson and a political rallying cry all in one, AMLO vowed to rekindle Mexico's constitutional spirit. His target? The past 36 years of “neoliberal” governments that allegedly contorted Mexico's laws to benefit the wealthy elite. Now that's some serious beef with the recent past.
