Mexico is the US’ largest trading partner and has over three times the population of Canada. Strangely, there has been little news in the US about the immense changes taking place in Mexico. The transformation began in 2018 under President Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) and continues under President Claudia Sheinbaum. Both leaders represent the MORENA Party, which now holds a majority in the Mexican Congress and Senate despite having only been created in 2014. Mexico is now drawing US attention, and there are examples of foreign promoted violence in spite of the overwhelming popularity of the Morena leaders. Our speaker, Rick Sterling will outline developments in Mexico based on personal observations and the excellent new book “MEXICO IN TRANSFORMATION from AMLO to Claudia.”
Rick Sterling is a board member of the Task Force on the Americas and Mt Diablo Peace & Justice Center. He has written many articles about international issues including Mexico, published at LA Progressive, Consortium News, Global Research, Dissident Voice, etc.
