WITH Mexico’s elections coming to a close on July 1, left-wing presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador — popularly known as Amlo — is the favoured candidate by a wide margin.
A recent poll by the Mexican daily newspaper Reforma says Amlo, who is running for the centre-left National Regeneration Movement (Morena) and its coalition partner the Workers’ Party, is supported by 52 per cent of voters and is at least 20 per cent ahead of his two rival candidates on the right.
The coalition is seeking to change the capitalist neoliberal model, imposed on the country in the 1980s by the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), which has destroyed the country’s industrial base and agriculture and benefited a minority while impoverishing the majority.
