This Sunday during his ninth tour with the virtual president-elect, Claudia Sheinbaum, Lopez Obrador commented from the House of the Crafts of Tepic, Nayarit who on more than one occasion “kept his comments about the Opposition” during the morning press conferences:
“When I was campaigning, I had to keep my words to myself out of respect for the electoral process, but I was very bothered by the hypocrisy, among other things, of our adversaries from the conservative bloc. Because in order to look good, they would say: ‘The welfare programs will continue. I would sign it with blood.’”
He even boasted that despite the above, the people of Mexico It is so politicized that they avoided the “tragedy” that the coalition formed by the PAN, PRI y PRD:
“Imagine if the people had not decided as they did, wisely, for Claudia Sheinbaum. Imagine what a tragedy! Because it would have been a brake on the transformation process that has barely begun in our country, after 36 years of dominance of an anti-popular, sell-out policy.”
And then he took the opportunity to emphasize that the Opposition He has never been in favor of the social programs that his administration has promoted and that will continue during the government of his successor, Sheinbaum Pardo.

Despite what the outgoing president said that he did not intervene in any way in the election, prior to the start of the process (November 20) he was denounced by the Opposition (PAN, PRI and PRD) on at least 19 occasions for allegedly violating the principles of equity and neutrality of the contest, dissemination of electoral propaganda during a prohibited period (electoral ban), issuing statements that may constitute political violence based on gender, as well as use of public resources.
Of that total, the National Electoral Institute (INE) gave rise to 11 precautionary measures, 5 were considered inadmissible, and the rest were not challenged.
In those that proceeded, the withdrawal of extracts from the Morning or was asked to refrain from making political comments, whether negative or positive, including not mentioning the word “conservative.”
So in response to these types of measures, he submitted a postscript between September 22 and October 10, 2023 that read:
“If you are a conservative and you are against the transformation of the country because you want the privileges and privileges of a few to return and for corruption, classism, racism and discrimination to continue, we recommend that you do not watch this program because it can cause psychological or emotional harm or affect the interests you defend. AMLO.”
Furthermore, already during the process underway Lopez Obrador took advantage to attack against Xochitl Galvez, standard-bearer of the Opposition, who managed to make the President did not mention her in his conferences, which generated several dozen more complaints against him for some type of interference in the contest.
And, just on June 27, less than a month after Morena and its allies won by a large majority the presidential election, governorships and hundreds of other elected positions, the Electoral Court of the Judiciary of the Federation determined that the outgoing president violated the impartiality of the process.
In this regard, Rodolfo Arce, Secretary of Study and Accounts of the Court, referred to the agency’s determination:
“The contested ruling did demonstrate the improper use of public resources, consisting of the participation of public service personnel and infrastructure used for the organization and dissemination of the morning conference, which was classified as a violation of electoral regulations.”
