On 1 July 2018, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador was elected as the next
President of Mexico. AMLO's decisive victory speaks volumes about the
corrupt state of the Mexican political elite, the temperament of the
country's people, and the election of another outspoken politician,
Donald Trump.

A progressive politician often compared to Jeremy Corbyn and Bernie
Sanders, AMLO's campaign galvanised people across Mexico. Here, in his
own words, AMLO paints a picture of a country plagued by cronyism and
neoliberalism, and declares the dawn of a new era, vowing to uplift
poor, indigenous communities and provide jobs and welfare for all. As
Trump publicly derides the Mexican people as 'drug dealers, criminals
and rapists', AMLO is critical of Mexico's capitulation to the US.

The election of a true progressive for the first time in recent history
has huge implications for the Mexican people, for the United States, and
for the international progressive Left. This manifesto is the foundation
on which a new Mexican politics could emerge.

Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador is the newly elected president of Mexico. He
worked as the Head of Government of the Federal District (Mexico City)
from 2000 to 2005, before resigning to run as a candidate in the 2006
and 2012 presidential elections, representing a coalition led by the
Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD). He is today the leader and
founder of the National Regeneration Movement (MORENA).
