If there is one thing that Mexicans know for sure, it’s that Andrés Manuel López Obrador doesn’t back down. His supporters admire his determination; his enemies disparage his stubbornness.
Mexico’s new president-elect tried to become president for 12 years, and he finally did it, overcoming political persecution, at least two fraudulent elections (according to his own recounting) and an entire political system that had managed to avoid real change since 1929.
Throughout his candidacy, critics constantly assailed Mr. López Obrador, or AMLO, as he is commonly known, warning that not only was he a populist, but a communist as well. Some even cautioned that he was orchestrating a Machiavellian plot to become another leftist dictator in Latin America. But his opponents couldn’t slow his momentum.
