President AMLO Pledges Withdrawal From Politics After Term Ends

MEXICO
  • Mexico’s President has indicated that after his term ends in September 2024, his intention is to totally withdraw from politics. There had been some speculation that López Obrador might remain a power behind the scenes in his now-dominant Morena party.
    • However, AMLO vowed at his daily press briefing on Thursday that he would not mix with politicians, speak about politics or appear at political events.
    • “I am going to retire completely,” he said. “I will never again appear at any public event.”
    • “I do not want to be anybody's advisor ... I will not have any relationship with politicians,” the president said, adding “I am not going to talk about politics.”
    • López Obrador still has approval ratings of about 60% four years into his six-year term. With this being against the most recent theme of unpopular/discredited President’s in the nation, it was thought that his opinion may carry weight on the political scene.
    • AMLO did explain that he intends to write in his retirement but that has more to do with academics.
