On July 1st, with 53 percent of the vote, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO)
was elected the 58th President of Mexico. Participating in the largest
election in Mexico’s history, López Obrador’s party—the National
Regeneration Movement—also secured a majority in Congress. This is the
first presidential victory for a Mexican third party since 1929, and the
first time since 1997 that a ruling party has had an absolute majority
in Congress, marking a seismic shift in the country’s domestic politics.
On July 26, Hudson Institute hosted a panel to discuss the long- and
short-term implications of the recent elections in Mexico. Panelists
included Carlos Bravo Regidor, Associate Professor at the Center for
Economic Research and Teaching; James R. Sisco, Founder and President of
ENODO Global Inc; and former Ambassador of
Mexico to China Jorge Eugenio Guajardo Gonzalez. The discussion will be
moderated by the Director of Hudson’s Center for Latin American Studies,
Jaime Daremblum.
