Claudia Sheinbaum gave her strong backing to Andrés Manuel López Obrador and called for unity. Some voices in public opinion already interpret this reappearance as help for the head of state at a time of internal crisis in the government. "We are a social movement that is in power, that has no divorce between the people and the Government and that does not renounce its principles," said Sheinbaum from the National Palace. Claudia Sheinbaum ruled out any of the scenarios that Andrés Manuel López Obrador proposed for his return, such as an "attack" on democracy, a coup d'état, or defending sovereignty: "The people are with the project," said the president. The president was questioned during her conference this Monday about the reappearance of the former president, who, through a video posted on social media, promoted his book "Greatness" and stated that he is retired from politics. "Saturday, December 6th, Zócalo in Mexico City, see you there," she said. This morning, El Financiero published a new poll measuring the president's popularity for the month of November, showing she maintains a 70% approval rating. "The people are united, strong, and the movement is moving forward," Sheinbaum stated. In response to these speeches, Sheinbaum affirmed that the objective was to inform about his book. "He had planned to finish the book and inform that it was for sale. I also thank him because that support for the president is visible," she said. AMLO reappears with backing for Sheinbaum and a message for the 4T: "We must not cast a shadow on our president or divide ourselves." Regarding these three motivations that AMLO outlined for his return to political militancy, Sheinbaum assured: "Fortunately, we are not in any of the three circumstances he proposes, and the people of Mexico are with the project." She added: "The polls say it — just in case there was any doubt — and Saturday will be a good moment to show the people's joy. He will also give his stance under what circumstances he would return to the streets again.
