AMLO Likened to Hitler, Mussolini, Huerta and Pinochet
El Universal, Mexico City
April 18 – “A television commercial* broadcast last night compares Andrés Manuel López Obrador [AMLO],
the ex-presidential candidate, with dictators from history.
“The
ad, sponsored by Mejor Sociedad,
Mejor Gobierno [MSMG] that Guillermo Velasco
Arzac heads, says: ‘Who closed the Congresses? 1933, Adolph Hitler in Germany;
1939, Benito Mussolini in Italy; 1973, Augusto Pinochet in Chile; 1913, Victoriano Huerta was the last to have closed the
Mexican Congress. Now, 2008, the PRD, PT and Convergencia [Party of the Democratic
Revolution, Labor Party, and Convergence] have closed the Congress! Our democracy
is in danger, our peace is at risk! Mexico does not deserve this!’
“The image of López Obrador comes out in the spot, [just after]
it mentions the names of the dictators.
“On the Internet page of MSMG there is a communiqué that reads: ‘… the PRD has seized Congress as a ploy to impose its conditions
for the debate on reforming Pemex.’”
