Mexico's New President: Not Your Ordinary Latin Leftist

Rés Manuel López Obrador - AMLO - received a record number of democratically cast and counted Mexican votes for president on July 1.

Current termed out Mexican president Peña Nieto and his two federal attorneys general have not solved the crime, and other than accuse some police officers, a mayor, his wife, and their alleged drug gang bosses of killing the young men, little has been done.

These people had no problem denouncing President Peña Nieto and his political party, the old Stalinist "Ruling Party" of old, known as the PRI. Another political casualty is AMLO's old party, the once-ultra-left-wing political party known as the PRD. AMLO ran unsuccessfully for president twice as the PRD presidential candidate.

The now open petroleum business that is so important to Mexico will not be dragged back into 1938 Mexico, when it nationalized the entire industry, one the largest of the era, from mostly British and American private companies.

Word is out of the transition team that President López Obrador will sponsor slashing salaries of congress people and high-ranking bureaucrats.

Canceling an order of $1.2 billion for new American-made helicopters for the Mexican Navy and Marines is a hint at a nascent austerity the new president is planning to implement.

We hope he requests help from the U.S. and that President Donald J. Trump gladly loans President López Obrador the help needed to solve the crime of the century, the crime that may have elected López Obrador president of Mexico.
