AMLO Sets New Stage, Challenges Journalists, and Advocates for Judicial Purge
In his Morning Conference, President AMLO discusses democracy, challenges journalists, calls for a judicial purge, and updates on priority projects. Catch up on the latest news from Mexico's dynamic political landscape.
In a lively Morning Conference held on Wednesday, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) shared details about his recent meeting with the counselors of the National Electoral Institute (INE). Emphasizing the need to avoid using democracy as a mere facade, he declared, "Never again 'kratos' (power) without 'demos' (people), that's all."
AMLO acknowledged that the current stage of his administration might be disconcerting for some public figures and media personalities, such as Carlos Loret de Mola. He issued a challenge to journalist and writer Jorge Ramos, stating that since Ramos responded to his comments, he would take the opportunity to inquire about Ramos' income and affiliations.
"They are very upset, but they must understand that we are living in a new stage. In many cases, it is even for their benefit. It's just that they are obsessed, and I understand them because they had the privilege of being in charge," AMLO pointed out.
