Synopsis


Government leaders having constant communications with the citizenry and giving transparency to their public decisions is always desirable. Lopez Obrador’s morning conferences seemed to be a great instrument to achieve these goals at the beginning. However, in reality, they appear to be functioning as a political instrument enabled by the president to influence the public debate, distract the attention from uncomfortable topics for him, attack his enemies, and consolidate his narrative, which by the way, it is not aligned with reality.
