- Citizen Says Goodbye to AMLO Between Nostalgia and Admiration
With just two days to go before Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s term ends, the country is experiencing a moment full of emotions and mixed feelings.
While some celebrate the end of a period they consider controversial, others, especially the most loyal followers, feel a deep nostalgia when saying goodbye to the president who, for them, has been a historic and transformative leader.
During his political career, AMLO distinguished himself by carrying out radical changes both in Mexico City as Head of Government, and at the federal level in the presidency.
During his years as head of government of the capital, one of his most remembered works was the construction of the second floor of the Periférico, a work that was harshly criticized at the time, but which proved to be fundamental in alleviating traffic congestion during rush hour.
Over time, his success was such that even his detractors adopted similar projects.
A mandate marked by major projects
As president of the Republic, López Obrador continued with his disruptive and entrepreneurial style, promoting large-scale projects.
One of the most controversial was the Mayan Train, a project that sparked strong criticism, especially from conservative and environmentalist sectors.
However, the president defended the initiative as an engine of economic and tourism development, which will benefit the inhabitants of southeastern Mexico, but also national and international tourists.
Despite the controversies, AMLO always maintained that these works are designed to transform the country in the long term.
The president’s followers highlight his fight against corruption and his commitment to social justice.
Throughout his term, AMLO implemented public policies focused on reducing inequality, improving the living conditions of the most vulnerable and combating the historical injustices that have affected Mexico.

The feeling of the Mexican people
The affection that his followers feel for López Obrador is palpable.
In a show of affection unusual in recent times, Fabiola Segura Pérez, a citizen of Zapopan, Jalisco, expressed her deep respect and gratitude towards the president through a poem that has moved many.
PresiNews had access to this writing, in which Fabiola celebrates the figure of AMLO and his legacy, something that had never been seen in the current history of politics in Mexico from a citizen to a federal leader.
The poem, titled “Al grito de igualdad” (To the cry of equality), reflects the pride of those who see in López Obrador a leader who has transformed the nation through his Fourth Transformation.
Fabiola describes the president as a humanist by conviction, comparing his struggle with that of great historical figures such as Benito Juárez and Francisco I. Madero.
In her verses, the author highlights AMLO’s tireless fight against corruption, inequality and injustice, echoing the battles that, according to her, have marked the president’s career.
Written by Fabiola Segura Perez
With the cry of equality.
Today I want to talk about greatness,
I want to talk about honor, so that the whole world knows a pride of my nation.
Born in Macuspana; humanist by conviction, he has undertaken a sublime struggle
for Mexico, which is his passion.
With Juarez as his guide; Madero, a strong link in a fight without respite like the greats, triumphed and in each of his battles, the yearnings of this nation.
His life for justice, fighting corruption, resisting slander and the usurping tyrant.
Never again a wounded Mexico, by hunger and horror, the poverty that prevailed and the abuse of the traitor.
Never again an Ayotzinapa,
no more another Acteal,
no more injustice,
nor inequality.
The president of change, democracy decided it, and in a cry of equality; a country rose up.
Our struggle continues, the hope he gave us, for the love of his people and the legacy to his nation.
Exceptional President that America celebrated, tireless social leader, he gave us his life.
Mexico is with you,
López Obrador;
Now we are a united people, transforming the nation.
And that is how history will remember you, unforgettable Obrador;
President of victory,
Professor of my nation.
He of the peaceful revolution and its Fourth Transformation,
hero who with his dedication, changed our beloved Mexico.
Fabiola Segura Pérez.
Zapopan, Jalisco. September 28, 2024
A legacy that will go down in history
For his supporters, López Obrador’s legacy is undeniable.
In her poem, Fabiola Segura calls him “president of victory” and recognizes him as a hero of a peaceful revolution that changed the destiny of Mexico.
This sentiment is shared by many of AMLO’s followers, who see in him a leader who gave his life to the service of the people and who, despite challenges and criticism, managed to drive a profound transformation in the country.
With the end of his term just around the corner, the future of politics in Mexico is now in the hands of the first female president in Mexican history, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, who has promised to continue AMLO’s legacy.
However, what is clear is that Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s impact on the country’s history will be remembered by generations to come, whether from admiration or criticism, but always from the awareness that his leadership marked an important stage in Mexico’s political life.
