The never-ending campaign
Daniel Wilson, a banker, financier, and a consultant on Mexican politics, wrote in his blog, Under the Volcano: Notes on Mexican Politics about the beginning of the 2012 presidential campaign.Andrés Manuel López Obrador celebrated three years as the country’s “legitimate president” with a rally in Mexico City’s Zocalo... AMLO said he had completed his pilgrimage to all 2,430 municipalities across Mexico and was refounding his movement... "[L]ooking toward 2012, we need to develop a new Alternative Project for the Nation,” he said.
AMLO said the platform would be centered on 10 themes: “to rescue the State and put it at the service of the people; democratize the mass media; create a new economy; combat monopolies; abolish tax breaks; practice politics as an ethical imperative grounded in ‘republican austerity;’ strengthen the energy sector; achieve food sovereignty; establish a welfare State; and promote a new current of thought.” AMLO clearly believes his principal opponent in 2012 will be Mexico state governor Enrique Peña Nieto.
