"Mexico Poised for Historic Election with Potential First Woman President"

The upcoming elections in Mexico and the United States present an opportunity to reset bilateral relations. Mexico's next president will face fiscal constraints and a fragile political coalition, unlike AMLO's tenure. Strengthening economic ties, addressing security issues, and promoting democratic values are key areas for cooperation. The U.S. should enforce trade rules, support Mexico's green transition, and improve regional security. Migration remains a central issue, requiring policy changes and better cooperation. The outcome of both countries' elections will significantly impact the future of U.S.-Mexico relations.

Xochitl Galvez: Opposition's Female Candidate for Mexico Presidency

Xochitl Galvez, a maverick Mexican senator, has secured the main opposition candidacy for Mexico's 2024 presidential election after receiving the endorsement of a key party. Galvez's victory brings Mexico closer to the possibility of having its first female president. She is seen as the strongest contender to challenge President AMLO's left-wing National Regeneration Movement (MORENA). However, the way the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) abandoned its own candidate in favor of Galvez has raised concerns about the credibility of the opposition alliance's selection process.

"AMLO's Presidency: Success, Challenges, and the Race for His Legacy"

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.

Mexico's Democratic Decline: A Roommate Relationship with the U.S.

Mexico's ambassador to the United States, Esteban Moctezuma Barragán, discusses the challenges of representing Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) to an administration that is trying to distance itself from former President Donald Trump. He emphasizes the importance of focusing on core issues in the bilateral relationship and downplays any complaints from the Biden administration. Barragán also highlights Mexico's efforts to attract foreign investment, citing strong macroeconomic policies and recent high investment numbers. Regarding calls to intervene militarily in Mexico to combat drug cartels, he stresses the strength of the U.S.-Mexico relationship and the need for cooperation rather than invasion.

Mexico's President Considers Buying Citi's Banamex Unit

Citigroup's $7 billion sale of its Banamex unit to German Larrea's Grupo Mexico was scuttled after Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's meddling. The president's unprecedented moves spooked Larrea into privately seeking assurances that the banking industry wouldn't be next, asking whether similar moves might be attempted after the Banamex deal closed. Reassurance was slow to come, and so Larrea dragged his feet on signing a deal. Citigroup announced Wednesday it would go ahead with an initial public offering for the business, an option that was always on the table but one executives favored less because it would take longer.
