MEXICO: Inauspicious start to public security forums
Mexico’s President-elect Andrés Manuel López Obrador was heckled during the opening on 7 August of the first of a series of nationwide consultative forums being organised by his Movimiento Regeneración Nacional (Morena) to help formulate his incoming government’s public security strategy. It was a clear indication of the scale of the challenge López Obrador faces to achieve his promise of “pacifying” Mexico during his six-year term, and gave him food for thought on the day before the electoral tribunal (TEPJF) formally proclaimed him as president-elect, paving the way for the transition process to begin with President Enrique Peña Nieto ahead of the handover on 1 December.
