President Andrés Manuel López Obrador was received this Monday in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, with a banner that read “welcome to Denmark” and shouts of “dictator, dictator, dictator” by workers of the Judicial Branch who demonstrated against his constitutional reform.
The president went to the Matamoros International Bridge for the unveiling of a monument dedicated to Catarino Garza, a revolutionary assassinated in Panama in 1895 and whose remains were recently repatriated.
Among the participants of the event were the president-elect, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, the president’s wife, Beatriz Gutiérrez Müller and the governor of Tanmaulipas, Américo Villareal.
Müller’s intervention stood out for addressing the demands of the workers of the Judicial Branch: “For dictators, Porfirio Díaz, eh?”
The vicinity of the border bridge was guarded by a strong operation of elements of the National Guard since several hours before the arrival of the president.
Yesterday, the head of the Executive was received with the same slogan in Veracruz, in addition to a bottle that almost hit Cuitláhuac García on the head, at the event for the inauguration of the Leyes de Reforma buildings and the Casa Benito Juárez.
“I have finished my term, I am going to Palenque, countrymen and countrywomen. We saw each other a lot, love is repaid with love,” said the president after expressing that he is leaving happy, promising that he will “stay away from politics” and revealing that when he leaves the presidency he will dedicate his free time to writing about his ranch in Palenque, Chiapas.
Accompanied by his wife, Beatriz Gutiérrez Müller, and the governor of Veracruz, Cuitláhuac García Jiménez, López Obrador arrived at the historic center, where the Casa Benito Juárez is located, where the former Oaxacan president lived.
