Guessing she's still around because the cartels want her around. Not sure how good this is.
Probably the same reason the whole party is still around. It would be awesome to get a real input from someone who lives in Mexico (preferably a normal person and not a summer beach home/mansion owner who pretends to live like normal people do), but honestly don't know how likely they are to lurk here on Lemmy....surely there is at least one among us?
My skepticism stems mostly from the "popularity" of former president, supposedly reaching some 80%? Sounds pretty good if it's genuinely true, but it's eerily approaching fabled 90-100% authoritarian levels.
Mexican here.
As you say, Mexico is a bit divisive about her, many calling her just a mere puppet of current president López Obrador and worrying about her not doing that much when she was state governor.
And many of her claims about feminism, ecologism, pro-Palestina positioning, are a bit weird, in respect of her former position and the little things she did in regard those.
What worries me personally rn is that legislative power will also be at her mercy. If she wants to do any change to Constitution (as Lopez Obrador already had tried many times), little to nothing will be able to stop her. For better or for worse.
Thanks, appreciate it
