Goodbye Lopez Obrador, enemy of Peru

In three days, Mexican President Manuel López Obrador, a seasoned protector of Pedro Castillo, of the dictatorships of Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba, Bolivia and Russia, will end his term. In this last case, let us remember that in 2023 he invited a Russian military brigade to participate in the parade for Independence Day, at a time when Putin's army was bombing Ukrainian homes, schools and hospitals.

During the campaign that brought him to the National Palace, he demonized his predecessors, accusing them of being inept due to the expansion of crime during their governments.

Under the esoteric slogan of “hugs, not bullets,” he pledged to drastically reduce the murder rate recorded by his predecessors.

However, the official report of the Executive Secretariat of the Public Security System shows that exactly the opposite happened.

During the administration of Vicente Fox, 60,162 people died; under Felipe Calderón, 121,613; and under Peña Nieto, 157,158.

Under López Obrador, 203,277 murders have been recorded to date, to which we must add 49,830 missing persons, more than 3,000 children recruited by organized crime and 30% of Mexican territory controlled by drug cartels.

During the election campaign, he also promised to capture those who killed 43 students from the rural school in Ayotzinapa, captured by the police and handed over to criminal gangs; his term ends and not a single one has been arrested.

The prestigious academic Elena Morera, president of the NGO Causa Común, asks: “What kind of childhood did the president have? What tragedies did he experience or provoke that made him today a manipulative and vengeful leader, who is not moved by victims or massacres. He promised that he would end corruption and impunity. Millions believed his word. However, it all remained empty words and what he promised as a government of transformation turned into the collapse of public institutions and social decomposition.”

He then adds that “instead of confronting crime, he opted for a strategy that seemed more like a pact; he embraced criminals instead of investigating and arresting them. He left the population to their fate while the country sank into an unprecedented wave of violence.”

During his term, he held almost 300 morning press conferences, called "mañaneras," with an average duration of 130 minutes each. According to the book by journalist Luis Estrada, 'The Empire of Other Data,' the president told 101,155 lies or statements that cannot be proven in his first four years.

He offended us Peruvians with lies and slander, pressuring Pedro Castillo to remain in power, despite the failed coup d'état and the fact that he governed with individuals with criminal records and/or links to Movadef - the political apparatus of Shining Path - and of committing acts of corruption.

He perfidiously intervened in domestic affairs, violating the guiding principles of international law. He supported these excesses by lying, by maintaining that Castillo was vacated by the rich people of Lima because he was a poor teacher from a rural school, who, he claimed, was not even allowed to enter Congress to take the oath wearing a hat, while the aristocrats covered their noses when he passed by.

He then stated that Castillo was imprisoned without a court order or defense. He of course neglected to report that he was impeached by 101 votes of Parliament, including his own supporters; that he was accused by the Attorney General and interned in a prison by decision of a Supreme Court judge, with the support of at least ten defense attorneys.

Since we did not pay attention, he refused to give Peru the pro tempore secretariat of the Pacific Alliance and to require a visa to enter his country.

Before leaving, she pressured her replacement, Claudia Sheinbaum, not to respond to the Peruvian president's congratulatory letter or invite her to the inauguration ceremony; the obsequious Mrs. Sheinbaum did so and did not invite the King of Spain either because he had not asked for forgiveness for the Conquest and the Viceroyalty, as López Obrador demanded.

Mexico is, without a doubt, far above a perfidious leader, an enemy of our country, its democracy and freedom.
