Is Morena maverick Mexico’s answer to Trump?
There might still be more than 18 months to go until Mexico stages general elections but there is a good reason why Andrés Manuel López Obrador chose this moment to become the first candidate to unofficially launch his presidential bid. López Obrador, the leader of the radical leftist Movimiento Regeneración Nacional (Morena) party, presented his campaign programme on 20 November, less than two weeks after the victory of Donald Trump in the US presidential elections. Trump’s triumph shook up Mexico’s political establishment in a way that perhaps only a López Obrador victory at home might match. And in many ways it makes such an outcome much more likely.
