Mexico City - Mexican opposition leader Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador called the people to unite around the movement he heads to counter the political mafia that causes the country's impoverishment.
The former presidential candidate in the 2006 elections urged the people to use peaceful civil resistance and non-violence to overthrow the current government, which he described as "a rotten regime of corruption and privileges."
Lopez Obrador noted that the movement of change he leads has enough moral authority and will act responsibly, meaning that it will not remain passive to the poverty, inequality and suffering of millions of Mexicans.
During a tour of the southern state of Puebla that ended on Sunday, the opposition leader charged that the media is in the hands of the right wing; therefore, it does not echo the true problems of the nation.
He noted that the current administration is politically incapable of promoting changes, because it is tied up by the powers that backed it up in the July 2006 election fraud, so the government is busy paying favors and invoices, he added. |
