At the same time, he also insisted that when referring to the former head of government in the role she will assume as of October 1, one must use the term “president.”
A few days ago, López Obrador mocked the Opposition by saying that one of the movements that brings it together, The so-called “Pink Tide” is very diminished and without any idea of its approach.
The above, the next day (August 12) after the Marea manifested itself outside the National Electoral Institute (INE) to ask the councilors not to allow a “legislative grab” that Morena and its allies will carry out through what they consider an alleged overrepresentation.
In this regard, the head of the Executive said in his morning press conference:
“Yesterday there was a demonstration, with few people present (…) I was watching some of the people attending the demonstration and they were not even clear about why they were demonstrating, due to all the manipulation they had carried out (…) the demonstration of the conservatives was already very diminished.”
In addition, he took the opportunity to ironically say that the very demands they presented to the INE require interpreters, since among the 7 points that the former head of the defunct IFE readLeonardo Valdés, words like “teleological” are mentioned:
“As the Constitution is clear and there is a law that establishes how to distribute the plurinominals, and this has been done, when it suited them, the law was applied to the letter. Now, as it does not suit them, They want the Constitution and the law to be interpreted, but they present it in terms, with legal concepts that require specialists to explain them.”

Even moments before the rally called by the National Civic FrontClaudia Sheinbaum, spoke about this during an event in Tepic, Nayarit; from there she said that:
“They are free to protest, but that doesn’t make them right. Because proportional representation is defined by rules that have always been used, there is no overrepresentation.”
Even 4 days before the opposition demonstration, the head of the Executive made fun of the position of the opposition – made up of the PAN, PRI, PRD, and sectors of the Mexican intelligentsia – by saying that they are like “the chimoltrufia”:
“They are with the overrepresentation, they look bad (…) 15, 20 years ago it was defined in the Constitutionin the Law of the Matter as to carry out the distribution of the plurinominals and during all that time the distribution is done in accordance with what is established by the Constitution and the law (…) and now they say ‘it is wrong, and it does not matter if the Constitution is violated, and it does not matter if the law is violated (…) the previous president of the INE defended what the election and the law establishes in the last election, and now they are like ‘Chimoltrufia: as I say one thing I say another’”.
