MEXICO: Hurricane puts López Obrador on back foot
Mexico is continuing to reel from the impact of a category five hurricane which made landfall near the resort city of Acapulco on the Pacific coast of Guerrero state on 25 October. The administration of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has come under much criticism for not issuing proper warnings prior to the storm, which has devastated Acapulco, leaving scores killed or missing and wiping out key infrastructure. The post-disaster response has also been deemed insufficient and unorganised in what is fast becoming a significant blot on López Obrador’s government only seven months out from presidential elections.
