MEXICO CITY - The former political party of Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador issued a blistering attack against the veteran leftist on Wednesday, accusing him of pushing the country toward authoritarianism.
“We’re in the process of restoring a presidential, centralizing and authoritarian system which weakens and suppresses the legislative branch and undermines the independence of the judiciary,” the PRD said. In office since December, the president has enjoyed soaring levels of popularity while blaming Mexico’s problems on old rivals and the previous six administrations.
Lopez Obrador says he is democratizing freedom of expression with his media conferences and has regularly pushed back against suggestions he aims to install an authoritarian government. For most of the past century, Mexico was ruled by the Institutional Revolutionary Party , which melded patronage and vote-rigging with corruption and authoritarianism.
