Andrés Manuel López Obrador book release
Overview
Former Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has released a new book titled ‘Pueblo’, which serves as a political history of Mexico and an extension of his ‘Mexican Humanism’ framework. Presented via an 80-minute video message from his estate in Palenque, Chiapas, the work—originally intended to be named ‘Gloria’—follows his previous book ‘Grandeza’ and includes ten chapters detailing his vision of national history from the era of Independence through the current administration of Claudia Sheinbaum.
During the presentation, López Obrador defended his administration’s legacy and the ‘Fourth Transformation’ movement, asserting that corruption has ended in Mexico, though he acknowledged its persistence among the upper classes. He used the platform to criticize several former presidents—including De la Madrid, Salinas, Zedillo, Fox, Calderón, and Peña Nieto—as well as various intellectuals and specific journalists, such as Carmen Aristegui, Ciro Gómez Leyva, and Carlos Loret de Mola, whom he labeled as ‘neofascists’ and ‘spokespeople for the right’. He also directed criticism toward United States diplomacy, describing U.S. ambassadors to Mexico as ‘meddlesome’.
President Claudia Sheinbaum responded to the address, describing the message as ‘very moving’ and acknowledging that while López Obrador has stepped back from daily political life, his literary work continues to serve as a form of political engagement and reflection. Sheinbaum also noted a dedication within the book, calling her ‘the best president in the world’.
