FRIDAY, MAY 4
PROGRAM # 8322 12:00 PM PT
Mexico Edition.
Opinion polls predict the imminent triumph of López Obrador for the presidency of Mexico. With 25 points ahead of their opponents, and with 45 points in intention to vote, it is also expected that their coalition would win a number of city races, governorships and even the majority in Mexico’s Congress. Two months before the election, enthusiasm overflows the crowded rallies of Obrador, although in business circles he is described as “intolerant.” Given this scenario, groups of the civil movement, which was not able to nominate its indigenous candidate, said they will maintain their fight against environmental depredation and against the taking of the national territory by transnational corporations. “We are not on the ballot because we did not cheat, but we will continue organizing,” said the spokesperson of the Indigenous Council of Government, María de Jesús Patricio Martínez. Martha Elena Ramírez hosts this broadcast, from the Voz Pública program, from Mexico City.
Guests: (audio recordings) Antonio Sola, spanish publicist, author in 2006 of the fear campaign: “AMLO: a danger for Mexico”; Andrés Manuel López Obrador; “Marichuy” María de Jesús Patricio, spokesperson of the Indigenous Council of Government (recorded interview); Carlos González, member of the Indigenous Congress of Government, Mexico City.
