Manuel López Obrador

Disguised as opinion polls, Mexicans are receiving automated campaign calls against the National Renewal Movement’s (Morena) Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, the front-runner for the upcoming presidential elections in Mexico.
Citizens started receiving the calls, which claim to be from “Mexican Institute for Democracy,” recently, however,  an investigation done by Mexican newspaper El Universal found no records of its existence.

The upcoming presidential election in Mexico — now just eight weeks away — may well prove to be this year’s most significant worldwide referendum on inequality. Mexico, after all, rates as one of the world’s most unequal major nations, and the party of the presidential candidate currently topping the polls — Andrés Manuel López Obrador — is pledging to confront the privileged Mexican few who are concentrating the nation’s “economic and political power.”
