Is Mexico’s President Weakening Its Democracy? Steve Paikin - TVO.org
go to original May 21, 2023

By law, the current and highly popular Mexican president Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador cannot run for another term in next year's general election. And he's vowed not to try.

Still, moves such as the changes to election law made recently by his government - but stymied by the courts - have critics worried that he's positioning his party to revive a kind of one-party rule that threatens Mexican democracy.

For some insight, we welcome Lorena Becerra, political analyst and the head of public opinion research for one of Mexico's leading newspapers, Reforma, David Frum, staff writer at The Atlantic magazine; Gustavo Flores-Macias, professor of government and public policy at Cornell University, and the former director of public affairs with Mexico's Consumer Protection Agency.
