During Monday’s morning press conference, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) highlighted the importance of the election of Claudia Sheinbaum as the first female president of Mexico.
“Yesterday I already congratulated her. I am very happy because you can imagine what it means to hand over the presidency to a woman after 200 years of republican life in which only men governed Mexico since 1824,” he said.
He didn’t lose, he just cannot serve another term. She belongs to his party and he effectively campaigned for her. His popularity helped boost her in the election.
Thanks. It would be dope if they get a clear majority and use it to change the constitution.
The liberal media have already been portraying AMLO as a dictator for his “populist” policies, if his party tried to change the constitution to make it more leftist all the liberals would go crying to the US for intervention and regime change.
Liberals are already seething. Guessd in Mexico we are not “civilized” enough for a female president.
this is similarly the current SK government’s stance on getting called out for their sexism: “we can’t be sexist, look at Afghanistan, that’s sexism”
LMAO
