Could you expand on this? I'm not keeping up with Mexican politics so I don't know much besides him being left leaning.

[raztogt21]

Not op, but I'm a Mexican living in México.

He is surrounded by incompetent and bootlicker advisors.

This administration is one of the most corrupt and violent in the past 20 years.

He has three pharaonic projects to build an outdated infrastructure that only "benefits" the president's home state.

He is actively stopping the construction for renewable energy projects and foreign investment.

Yes the president is betting everything into oil, burning huge piles of cash on useless projects, scaring foreign investment, and stopping all investment into renewables. Among other countless stupid decisions.

With the combination of COVID and the current political situation, Mexico is going to plunge into the worst recession it has seen in modern history. I wouldn't be surprised if Mexico becomes the next Venezuela in a couple of years.

A more accurate description would be “he surrounds himself with incompetent and bootlicker advisors.”

At the presidential level he appointed all of those people

Oh! Thank you for teaching me this word.

He was hugely popular when he came into office and made some significant improvements the cash subsidy for farming program. Nevertheless, there sure are power-consolidation moves evident.

Nothing wrong with being left leaning. But he is a demagogue. A narcissist surrounded by yes men.
