Mexico’s President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum chafed against the suggestion she should draw a line with President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, saying that it would be a betrayal of the Mexican people.
“I read in a newspaper, ‘Claudia should draw a line with Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador,’ but that would be drawing a line with the people of Mexico,” Sheinbaum said at an event commemorating Lopez Obrador’s electoral win.
Sheinbaum has faced pressure to clarify her positions relative to the outgoing president. She reiterated at the event that she favors a plan that would modify the judiciary so that judges are selected by popular vote.
Lopez Obrador, who by law could only serve as president for a single term, will be replaced by Sheinbaum on Oct. 1st.
