López Obrador, said that Mexico now lives “an authentic democracy” and reversed the “decline” of the “neoliberal” period of the previous three decades, in which the PRI and PAN parties ruled hegemonically over national politics.
“Now, fortunately, we are living in a true democracy, building a new homeland, exalted, fraternal,” declared the president at the beginning of his speech at the Zócalo in Mexico City, before hundreds of thousands of supporters.
“Today I am offering you and the people and nation my last Government Report, and I am more convinced than ever that the best thing about Mexico is its people, the heir of civilizations that flourished long before the arrival of the European invaders,” he said.
The president said that, thanks to the values inherited by indigenous civilizations, he managed “relatively soon to lay the foundations for a new stage, which is already known and identified as the Fourth Transformation of public life in Mexico.”
AMLO said Mexicans are heirs of a great past and an exceptional and deep history, which explains why it did not take long to reverse the decline that occurred with neoliberal policies.
