AMLO, who maintains a close link with Alberto Fernandez and his Government, referred in his usual “morning” press conference to the victory of Freedom Advances in the Argentine primaries and carried out an analysis of current affairs in the country, which included a parallelism with the Hitler’s Germany.
The definitions of Andrés Manuel López Obrador about Argentina
Asked about the electoral results and the turnaround, López Obrador considered that “each country has its history” and that “experiences cannot be extrapolated”, while clarifying that “The history of Mexico is very different from that of Argentina.”
“In the case of Argentina, the economic crisis has affected them a lot. The right-wing, conservative government of Macri completely indebted the country, with the complicity of the IMF,” denounced.
Immediately afterwards, he stated: “They gave him money when he was exceeding Argentina’s ability to pay. Why did they give him more than necessary? Because the elections were in the middle and they wanted Macri, right-wing, conservative, to continue as president ” .
During his historical review, he recalled that Macri lost in 2019 and Alberto Fernández had to deal with the “enormous debt”: “The IMF turned its back on them, when they were co-responsible for that debt. This precipitated an economic crisis that, of course, affected the people of Argentina and produced inflation.”
The comparison with the rise of Hitler
“It is important to remember that, among other things, Hitler rises up, consolidates himself as a leader, after inflation, which he suffered before he came to power. Inflation helps him, being an authoritarian conservative,” he graphed.
Drawing the parallelism, He commented that inflation and the economic crisis “always help the right, conservatism, which is somewhat what is happening in Argentina.”
However, he clarified that it was not a comparison between Milei and Hitler, but a historical reference. He also said that the Argentine crisis “led to these results.”
Criticism of the Argentine government and the press
Finally, the president of Mexico He slipped a criticism of the management of the Frente de Todos, now Unión por la Patria: “Add what was missing, and I say it in a very respectful and affectionate way because I love the progressive leaders of Argentina very much, more determination.”
“They zigzagged too much. One must be anchored, not zigzag. One must always be with the people. Not wanting to look good with everyone, because one ends up looking bad with everyone. Attend to everyone, respect everyone,” shot López Obrador.
Later, he targeted the press: “In Argentina, as here in Mexico and throughout the world, only here there are more active social networks and the ‘morning’ ones, the press has almost absolute power there. Clarín is still there…”.
“They do not have a plural press, it is a very conservative press. Clarín is like El Mercurio de Chile. It dominates. I think Clarín is worse than Televisa. It is not even Reforma; it is more right-wing, conservative,” expanded the president.
And he concluded: “The entire media campaign was very strong. So they raised this character from yesterday.”
