They just elected Claudia Sheinbaum, who is seen as being extremely close to the outgoing president AMLO. Some people were suggesting that she was so close to him that it was really his way of getting another term as president, similar to how Putin stepped down as president of Russia to become PM while Dmitry Medvedev became president in name only.
How true is that? It’s hard to say. My guess is that a lot of it is sexism, thinking that a woman can’t think for herself and a woman president will turn to someone else for the important decisions.
But, it’s true that under AMLO, there was a lot of democratic backsliding in Mexico. OTOH, Mexico has been dominated by PAN and PRI for decades. In fact, PRI won 14 elections in a row between 1928 and 1994. It wasn’t until Vincente Fox in 2000 that PAN was even a factor. So, there’s a lot of the power structures in Mexico geared towards supporting PRI and PAN.
They were probably undermining a lot of the things AMLO wanted to accomplish. If he had followed all the rules and norms he might not have been able to accomplish anything because the establishment would have blocked everything he tried to do. That doesn’t excuse his rule and law breaking, but it does contextualize it.
We’ll see what happens with Sheinbaum. I, for one, am fucking thrilled that Mexico’s president has a PhD in energy engineering. The fact she’s a woman is also historical, but to me the doctorate is more important.
Kks (aka. AMLO) is still living inside Palacio Nacional
Do you have any evidence for that? Because it sounds like an unhinged conspiracy theory. The official story is that he’s writing his book from his estate in Chiapas. But, maybe you have proof that isn’t true?
from there he’s still giving her instructions and telling her what to do and say
Again, any evidence for that? Or is it just “everybody knows she can’t think for herself”.
they were ordered to give the vapes back to the black market because his son wanted that control
Ok… again, any evidence or is this just what your brother’s cousin’s best friend’s dog heard on Facebook?
Oh yes, a PhD she cheated to get
Again… any evidence for these claims?
most of those claims aren’t hard to find, but, again, you have to speak spanish
The claims aren’t hard to find, but what about the proof? Si tienes pruebas, muestramelas. And, I’m not talking youtube videos, actual proof, because you really sound unhinged.
