"Mexico's President Sparks Political Gold Rush with Aggressive Tactics"

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's relentless attacks on opposition contender Xóchitl Gálvez for the 2024 presidential election have backfired, boosting Gálvez's popularity and chances of winning. López Obrador's derogatory remarks and release of Gálvez's private financial information have drawn criticism from the federal election authority and accusations of damaging the democratic process. Gálvez's rise in the polls within the opposition coalition has shaken the race, which was previously seen as favoring López Obrador's party. Despite the rebuke, López Obrador continues to disregard electoral rulings, raising concerns about the erosion of democratic foundations in Mexico.
