López Obrador gives the first interview in years: more than two hours without talking about corruption-related issues
Since he has been president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador hardly gives interviews.
The president of Mexico speaks every day for about two or three hours in his morning conference and from there he answers questions from reporters.
But he has hardly accepted a face-to-face meeting with the press since the beginning of the six-year term. Times are counted on the fingers of one hand.
The last one was published this Tuesday. López Obrador gave an interview to Russian journalist Inna Afigenova for the Spanish television channel Red, directed by Pablo Iglesias, former vice president of the Government and founder of the left-wing party Podemos. In two hours and 15 minutes of conversation, they avoided thorny issues from afar.
What the president does talk about is the presidential candidate Claudia Sheinbaum, whom he showers with praise, his package of constitutional reforms, and the role of the opposition and the Judiciary, whom he harshly criticizes as usual.
