Mexico City/Prensa Latina
The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, today defined Andrés Manuel López Obrador as the most beloved president and the most important political leader and social fighter in the modern history of the country.
“Today we say it with certainty and without fear of being wrong, history and the people have judged him: Andrés Manuel López Obrador, one of the greats,” said the ruler in her first speech to the nation after a day considered historic and in the who assumed that high position.
Sheinbaum highlighted López Obrador as the one who “began and ends his mandate with more love from his people” and asserted that for millions he is the best president of Mexico, who began “the peaceful revolution of the fourth transformation of public life in Mexico.” ”.
“You have asked us on several occasions,” he said, “not to unveil busts, nor to put your name on streets, avenues, neighborhoods or neighborhoods, nor monuments or make large tributes.
“The truth is that it is not necessary, because you will always be where only those who fight all their lives reside, those who do not give up, those who restore hope and joy, you will always be in the hearts of the people of Mexico,” he stated. .
He said that López Obrador is retiring from public life, to continue fighting from another trench, to write about what he has maintained since his first days, when he worked with the Chontal Mayans: that the origin of Mexico’s cultural greatness lies in the great civilizations that lived on this land centuries before the Spanish invasion.
“It is not a coincidence, but a harmony of history, that yesterday the reform of the constitution that grants full rights to indigenous and Afro-Mexican peoples was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation,” he noted.
“His latest book is titled Thank You, and today we return the gratitude. Deep thank you, thank you, thank you always. It has been an honor to fight with you. Goodbye, brother, friend, companion, Andrés Manuel López Obrador,” he exclaimed.
Sheinbaum took office this Tuesday as the first president in the history of Mexico, during a ceremony held in the Congress of the Union.
In the session, he took the established oath and received from the president of Congress, Ifigenia Martínez, the presidential sash, previously delivered by the outgoing dignitary, López Obrador.
On the occasion of the investiture, rulers and other senior officials from more than 100 countries and 23 international organizations are here; among these, the presidents of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel; from Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva; from Colombia, Gustavo Petro, and from Honduras, Xiomara Castro.
The first woman to hold high office in Mexico obtained a landslide victory in the elections on June 2, in which she surpassed 35.9 million votes and became the most voted candidate in the country’s recent history, with a very large advantage over its rivals.
Sheinbaum declares herself a continuator of the transformative, humanist and social justice project led by López Obrador and which, among other achievements, reduced poverty and inequality in the nation.
