A New Hope for Mexico

'Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has a dream: to defeat the corruption, violence and injustice hiding behind the veil of Mexico's neoliberal experiment'

– Yanis Varoufakis

On 1 July 2018, Andrés Manuel López Obrador was elected as the next President of Mexico. AMLO's decisive victory speaks volumes about the corrupt state of the Mexican political elite.

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.

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 president of Mexico. He is the leader and founder of the National Regeneration Movement (MORENA).
