The Politically Intriguing Aftermath of Mexico's Elections
Manage episode 422930585 series 3492978
Mexico realized an historic election on June 2nd, 2024, choosing its first female President. Far more polemic is the fact that the Morena party's landslide victory delivers a 30-day window of opportunity to outgoing President AMLO to radically upend the constitution, an opportunity that he relishes. The month of September could prove contentious for Morena party leaders, as the outgoing leader AMLO vies to leave a lasting legacy while incoming President Claudia Sheinbaum struggles to calm markets roiled by the awkward transfer of power. To help us untangle this political web, we are joined by Alex González Ormerod, a rising star in the world of Mexican political analysis, who offers a highly nuanced and insightful take on Mexico's new political landscape.
