“We must support the President very, very much, but… We must not overshadow her,” said the former president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) by highlighting that only three reasons would make him walk the streets again and return to political life.
From ‘La Chingada‘, AMLO’s ranch, the former president published a video to comment on some political issues under the pretext of presenting his nuevo book ‘Greatness‘, and clarified that, although he would like to, will not do a public tour to present his new literary work.
However, he assured that he would only take to the streets for three reasons: “if they attack democracy, to defend it (to Claudia Sheinbaum); If there are coup d’état inmates, if they harass her, then yes, but I don’t think that will happen; and to defend the sovereignty of Mexico, because our country is free, independent, sovereign, we are not a colony of any foreign country,” he highlighted.
