Episode notes
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.
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.
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.
