The successor of Andrés Manuel López Obrador achieved victory in the elections through the alliance “Let’s continue making history”, which includes Morena – the socialist-leaning National Regeneration Movement -, the Labor Party and the Green Ecologist Party of Mexico.

President Javier Milei had expressed his differences with López Obrador at the end of March when he also attacked the Colombian president, Gustavo Petro. In an interview with CNN when he was asked about the conduct of the Mexican elections he maintained that he was a compliment “That an ignorant person like López Obrador speaks ill of me exalts me.””.
He bond between both leaders was always marked by the hostility: In 2023, before winning the elections, Milei had considered that the Mexican president “It’s truly pathetic, pitiful, disgusting”. The backlash was in tune: when he had to give his opinion on the first measures that the libertarian leader took as president, AMLO fired: “The new government arrives and says that the subsidies are ending, there will no longer be public investment, anyone who wants to study has have to pay, whoever gets sick has to pay… that is the neoliberal model. The State in Argentina assumes the debts of an elite of potentates. (…) Is take from those below to give to those aboveThat’s what they’re doing. It will not work”, he stated.
