“President, president, president!” In unison, the thousands of people gathered in the Zócalo of Mexico City chanted the same refrain.

He recalled that the “conservatives, hypocritically,” during the last electoral process promised even in blood that they would not eliminate social programs; but after their defeat, the leader of a party (of the PAN, Marko Cortés) accepted that they had made a mistake and that they were not in favor of these programs.

“Imagine what would have happened,” he said, as a scenario if the opposition had won. To which the people reacted again: “Noooooooo.” And then, again, thousands of voices shouted: “President, president, president!”
