It is a city that loves Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO). Most of the inhabitants are with the president. City 'Obradorista': this is how Claudia Sheinbaum, Head of Government of Mexico City (CDMX), celebrated the “triumph” of the Mandate Revocation in the Mexican capital.
However, Raymundo Riva Palacio assured that the president pronounced a “half-truth”, because, despite boasting that nearly 90% of the votes supported the stay , the general picture of the exercise in the City meant a weakening of AMLO in one of its greatest strongholds - whose half of power was taken away by the opposition in the 2021 midterm elections.
It should be noted that CDMX was positioned as the fourth entity with the most votes to remove Andrés Manuel from the presidential chair, second only to the governed ones for the opposition: Nuevo León, Jalisco and Aguascalientes.
Given this, Raymundo added in his column for Central Axis, the results also figured as the failure of the strategy that the president embarked on to protect Sheinbaum, who has been dragged by the growing annoyance of the capitals towards the president.
The dynamic for this was to appoint the Head of Government to be responsible for the electoral operation in the states of the metropolitan area in such a way as to compensate for the possible loss of votes in the capital. A mission that Sheinbaum could not fulfill, even with “the open portfolio” at his disposal.
Despite AMLO's accusation that the low turnout resulted from the scarce installation of squares by the National Electoral Institute (INE), Riva Palacio dismissed the argument for the capital because, he said, “there were many boxes”, but with little influx. Same case for the State of Mexico (Edomex).
This is how the columnist pointed to these two specific stumbling blocks as the major obstacles in the electoral scenario for Movimiento Regeneración Nacional (Morena) towards the presidential elections of 2024.
Meanwhile, Raymundo emphasized, for López Obrador he demonstrated Sheinbaum's inability to build his possible candidacy - this, by considering the capital as one of the bastions to contend in 2024 for the cherry group.
Although López Obrador has assured that his party's presidential candidate will be elected through a poll, the reality is that the president has clearly opted for the current Head of Government whom the Tabasco politician sees as a daughter, according to different analysts.
However, other politicians of great weight in the party, such as the chancellor, Marcelo Ebrard, and the leader of the Morenoists in the Senate, Ricardo Monreal, have expressed their intention to contest for the party's candidacy.
