How long does it take for a president to accept responsibility for what happens in the country? After his first day in power, or the first year? Two years? There’s no rule here.
HOW LONG?
THE NORMALIZATION OF HORROR
Mexico and the United States have grave issues of violence. In Mexico, it’s the tens of thousands of murders generated by the wars between narco-cartels and failed government policies.
DEATH IN JUAREZ
CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico – México is the cork. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s immigration policy has totally failed, and what’s worse, it’s costing many lives. Thirty nine migrants died in a government detention center in this city,
HIDING REALITY
The president was angry. The U.S. Department of State had just published its annual report on human rights violations around the world, and Mexico had not done well.
LOPEZ OBRADOR’S KEY FAILURE

THE 28-MINUTE ANSWER

THE MEXICO OF THE TWO MARCHES
Mexico is the country of the two marches. One by the government of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and the other by the opposition.

The current president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, is still fighting the results of the 2006 elections, which sent Felipe Calderón of the PAN party into the presidency.
