El Destructor / The Destroyer

"Yes, it could have been known what was going to happen if Andrâes Manuel Lâopez Obrador became President. It was enough to observe, to pay attention, to follow the steps he was taking since his origins as a PRI soldier. That is precisely what Pablo Hiriart has done for 34 years: pointing out and documenting each of the affronts that Mexican democracy has endured at the hands of the founder of Morena. Yes, it could have been known that the only requirement to profit under AMLO's shelter was to be faithful to him. This was the case when he governed Mexico City. Yes, it could have been known that the institutions would be despised: he had announced it. It could have been known that corruption would flood his mandate: there were precedents, videos, documents, a trail of impunity... This work compiles that history. And, through a series of high-level dialogues, the author demonstrates something even more serious: in view of what Lâopez Obrador has done, there is no reason to expect him to respect an adverse result in 2024. Yes, it can be known. Yes, something can be done." -From publisher.
