AMLO All Along
Briefly

As Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's presidency came to a close, attempts to define his legacy proliferated, revealing a spectrum of opinions yet lacking cohesive analysis.
Obradorismo must be thought of as AMLO's articulation of Mexico's identity, rather than simply left-wing populism or progressive nationalism, which are reductive labels.
While there was qualified praise for his anti-poverty measures, there were sharp critiques regarding his militarization of public life, pointing to a polarized legacy.
The challenge remains in understanding Obradorismo's place within Mexico's ideological spectrum, as it lacked overall ideological coherence and seemed programmatically elastic.
