AMLO's Shadow: Journalist Critiques Irresponsible Presidency, Impact on Sheinbaum

Mexico City - Journalist Manuel López San Martín's recent interview offers a critical perspective on the legacy of former Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO). San Martín, author of the book 'Año Siete, El legado: la catástrofe,' contends that AMLO's presidency was marked by "irresponsibility" and that his decisions significantly constrained the current President, Claudia Sheinbaum. He argues that AMLO's actions "placed characters in relevant positions," effectively limiting Sheinbaum's policy options. San Martín points to the arrest of Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada as a pivotal moment, suggesting that this event marked the true end of AMLO's effective power. "AMLO como presidente fue irresponsable," San Martín states, emphasizing his view of AMLO's leadership style. The interview is generating significant discussion about the political landscape in Mexico and the challenges faced by Sheinbaum's administration. The book, 'Año Siete, El legado: la catástrofe,' provides further analysis of AMLO's six-year term.
