“We have have been losing the ability to create a narrative that connects with the middle class that traditionally supported us.'
Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador shows the political party makeup of Congress during his daily news conference “La Mañanera,” after weekend mid-term elections at the National Palace in Mexico City, Tuesday, June 8, 2021.
López Obrador blamed the results on what he calls a “dirty war” by traditional media against his administration. He claimed Mexico City residents were more influenced by the media than voters in other parts of the country, where Morena did well, winning 11 of the 15 governorships at stake. It lost seats in congress, though it still controls the lower house with help from allied parties.
López Obrador frequently compares journalists to vultures, and criticizes parts of the business community as corrupt. He often describes civic groups, feminists and other critics as being part of the “conservative” opposition.Mexico City suffered more than many other parts of the country during the coronavirus pandemic, and memories were still fresh from the collapse of an elevated section of the Mexico City subway system in May that killed 26 people.
