SUMMARY – MORNING PRESIDENTIAL PRESS CONFERENCE – FRIDAY, JULY 12, 2024

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador pointed out that he always put his trust in the people for the continuity of the Transformation movement, now to be led by Claudia Sheinbaum. «I knew we were going to be reciprocated; love with love is repaid.” He also welcomed the appointment of Lázaro Cárdenas Batel as the next director of the Office of the Presidency.

President López Obrador rejected the Federal Electoral Tribunal (TEPJF) ruling that charges him with violating the principles of impartiality, neutrality, and equity in the election campaign. He pointed out that there is no evidence against him and that the ruling was adopted because the judges are conservative, corrupt, and falsify reality.

The head of the Executive Branch reiterated his demand that the U.S. government explain why it is financing Claudio X. González’s organization, Mexicans Against Corruption and Impunity, which is promoting a slanderous disinformation campaign against the federal government, which is legal and legitimate. «What does the United States have to do with matters that 0only concern Mexicans? Why this interference?» he asked.
