Which one(s) in the pocket of the cartels?
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

And Mexico's first Jewish President I believe?
Let's bomb Russia!

Savonarola

The parties have the best names this year:  Sigamos Haciendo Historia (Let's keep on making history) and Fuerza y Corazón por México (Strength and Heart for Mexico.)   Unfortunately Movimiento Ciudadano (Citizen's Movement) is forgettable.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Yet just one strategic use of the word "bowel" could totally change that around.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Wiki notes that as her family's religious heritage, but that she herself is secular.

MORENA easily won again with 1984 Reagan-esque landslide results. PAN+PRI got steamrolled.

So farewell AMLO and welcome President Sheinbaum.

Razgovory

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Well yes but that is how Mexican Politics has worked since the Revolution. No re-elections means successors with very meddlesome predecessors. Especially a very politically powerful one like AMLO.

To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?
