“Claudia Sheinbaum will have to build a government and a party which no longer depend on a supreme leader, [donc] sans López Obrador”, comment on the site Political Animal. This is one of the main challenges to face for the new Mexican president, who will be inaugurated on Tuesday 1is October: not to remain in the shadow of the man who was his mentor, the outgoing head of state, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, known as AMLO, still extremely popular after six years in power.
“The president [sortant] will weigh with all its weight on the one who will succeed him, because his thirst for power is insatiable, comments on daily life Vanguard. He will not give up this power.”
“He will give it away in appearance, but in reality he will keep it for himself.”
AMLO leaves power with a popularity rating of 70% and has remained omnipresent during the transition period, since the election of Claudia Sheinbaum on June 2. So much so that, notes the writer Jovany Hurtado García in the daily The Universal, “little importance was given to his triumph” – she was nevertheless elected with almost 60% of the votes. “Transition was stolen from him [par] the one who doesn’t want people to stop talking about him”, comment on the site The Country Mexico.
“Hands tied”
AMLO, 70
