AMLO is not a saint but MORENA is far bettter than her centrist coalition, although DW gives her a glowing review lol, no question MORENA is nonetheless the clear viable choice for progressives

Hello from the other side, she's not what I would hope for or backed by the parties that always screwed us up but at this point I would take a burn sandwich over AMLO (who I consider to be regressive and conservative)

Morena is basically formed of the worse od all the other parties, and rhey are really centeist and way far for progressive.

yeah sure the party in an alliance with the workers party and green party are the real centrists tm

Nah, amlo is nothing to the center he is a conservador, he just says that he is with the left but not even center.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Senator Xochitl Galvez from Hidalgo was officially nominated as the 2024 presidential candidate by the opposition alliance on Sunday, challenging Mexico's ruling party, MORENA.

Mexico's constitution prohibits President Lopez Obrador from running for another six-year term.

As she accepted her nomination, the Indigenous politician, who is also a trained computer engineer, pledged unity and respect for Mexicans, contrasting with what she termed as "lies" from the current president.

Representing the coalition that includes major opposition parties, Galvez's profile surged in just three months, as she took on the president countering his frequent verbal attacks.

Supporters gathered in the capital, confident in her victory, while coalition representatives from prominent parties expressed their endorsement.

"She is going to get us all out of the hole, the Indigenous people, the poorest, the middle class," supporter Hector Chavez said.
