“There is a term that explains well what is happening at the moment. In English, they call it Lame duck. The translation is impossible, but it would be like “lame duck.” Presidents here in the United States, before handing over power, are called lame duck in reference to a weak politician, because they lose power” explained the famous presenter of Univision TV news.

According to the American-Mexican communicator, the United States and Canada have decided to break an agreement tacit agreement not to intervene in Mexican politics due to the imminent and near end of the six-year term.

“They feel, first, that they can do it because López Obrador has only a few weeks left. Second, because they want to have a say on key issues. (…) To the governments of the United States and Canada They fear that judicial reform “This will not only affect the commercial issue, but also the fact that organized crime will enter more into the justice system,” he explained.
