Here is the key quote:
"The objective of the convention, he indicated, has as its fundamental proposition to decide with the representation of all the people of Mexico the document they will assume faced with the present circumstances."
That sounds as though Lopez Obrador is declaring the revolutionary intent to rewrite the Mexican Constitution by mob action, rather than within the framework of Mexico's institutions.
I'm trying not to hit the panic button, but this really does look dangerous to me.

It really does seem as if he is intent on starting a civil war down there, doesn't it?

I agree. I believe he wants revolution. They are not going to be happy until they have their little Chavez.
To: thoughtomator
Yes; it really does thoughtomator. I wish I could say differently, but he does not intend to accept defeat in this election, even though the partial recount shows very clearly that he did lose.

Typical leftist. If you can't win a legitimate national election you start a revolution.

When things begin to unravel, and people in the industrious north cities stop paying their taxes to Mexico City, with the loss of revenue Mexico City is facing now with tourism, newspapers reported close to 1,000 people laid off, related to the protests, when the money stops coming down the pipes, they'll be in sore WANT, and need to find an attitude to negotiate. About 90% of the hollering and carrying on is done by the rascals in Mexico City that never were happy with a President..ever.
To: Enterprise
Are you tempting me to go ahead and hit it Enterprise? LOL!
I might start a panic on the Mexican stock exchange.

What's ObraGore going to change the constitution to say? The second-place candidate wins all Presidential elections in close races?
AMLO lost. He should get over it. But like all "good" leftists, he can't.
To: StJacques
Good excuse IMO for the Mexican government to jail or accidentally kill him.
