TL;DR Summary

As Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) approaches the final year of his term, his presidency is being evaluated in terms of policy accomplishments and his impact on the working-class base. AMLO's government is seen as a period of rupture, transforming the party infrastructure and system, and challenging the neoliberal consensus that dominated Mexico for years. While there have been successes such as strong macroeconomic indicators and greater working-class purchasing power, there have also been criticisms regarding AMLO's relationship with the feminist movement and rising cartel violence. Overall, AMLO's presidency is seen as a significant shift in Mexican politics and a reversal of the global trend towards class dealignment.
