go to original October 17, 2012

The former presidential candidate of the left, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador visited Merida. In a brief interview, AMLO said that the “group of tycoons who dominate the country, whose main head is the former president Carlos Salinas de Gortari … is the supreme head of the conservative and oligarchic power in Mexico, and the presidents are his employees, Calderón acted as a wimp and now will enter the wimp number two, Peña Nieto.”

Lopez Obrador stated that President Felipe Calderon is leaving the country in very poor conditions, but the worst thing is that there are signs that things will not change. “Here comes and goes Calderoncito, now here is Peñita and the same mafia keeps the power, this dominant group has the president as its employee on duty.”

“AMLO”, avoided, at all means, reporters questions to talk about the statements of the national president of the PRD, Jesus Zambrano and other leftist leaders, who declared that they did not care about the actions of MORENA (National Regeneration Movement, social movement lead by AMLO), as they might see it as a new political rival.

“I do not think about it, we do not fight with anyone,” he said, “To me what matters is what this mafia is up to, they want to make a new heist, they want to steal our oil, they will deliver the oil that belongs to all Mexicans to domestic and foreign and private corporations.”

During the interview, MORENA supporters began to criticize the media, situation that AMLO took to his advantage and said that the press “does not touch Carlos Salinas, the untouchable.”

Lopez Obrador swore the new delegates to represent the districts of MORENA in Yucatan, pointing out that one of the main tasks of MORENA is to work with young people “Now that is what I am dedicating my time, to the political education of the youth, to have in the future generational leadership.”
