July 1, 2018 will be a milestone in Mexican history. Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (“AMLO”) won Sunday’s presidential election. The victory marks a new left-wing turn after decades. The newly elected president announced “a deep change” of the country. Huge challenges await him if there is a wish to cure a nation undermined by inequalities and insecurity. AMLO won with almost 53% of the votes according to the first official estimate. Will AMLO be a good or bad change for Mexico?
