ANECDOTE

AMLO's Communication Strategy

  • AMLO, a skilled communicator, holds daily press conferences, setting the agenda for Mexican media.
  • This differs from past presidents and, while not massively popular, influences daily discourse.
INSIGHT

The 2024 Presidential Race

  • Two women, including AMLO's chosen successor, Claudia Sheinbaum, are the leading candidates in Mexico's 2024 presidential election.
  • A third candidate trails significantly, potentially splitting votes between the two frontrunners.
INSIGHT

Women in Mexican Politics

  • Having two female leading candidates is significant in Mexico's traditionally male-dominated society.
  • This marks a shift, although other Latin American countries have already had female presidents.
