With thirty million votes and in his third attempt, tomorrow a political leader of center-left will assume the presidency of Mexico. Originally from the state of Tabasco, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, will receive the presidential band before Mexico’s Congress. Hours later, there will be public celebrations outside the National Palace, in the Zócalo, the main square where years ago he and his party denounced an electoral fraud, and asked for the recounting of votes. However, not everything is celebration. In the past AMLO criticized the involvement of the military in public security tasks, today, with its Law to create a National Guard, it will not only legalize the actions of the militia in public security matters, but additionally, all the decisions will be made by him without consulting Congress, which is contrary to the mandates of Mexico’s Constitution. Martha Elena Ramírez hosts this broadcast, of the Voz Pública program, from Mexico City.
