According to AP, it is “unclear” what is behind the significant decline in poverty since López Obrador came to office in 2018, seemingly ignoring the obvious fact that the decline coincides with the change in public policy implemented by his government.

Mexico's poverty rate declines from 50% to 43.5% in four years as remittances almost double

The poverty rate in Mexico has declined from 49.9% to 43.5% of the population, according to the country's poverty analysis agency.

AMLO's presidency, marked by a doubling of the minimum wage, expanded social programs, & labor reforms, has lifted over 5 million out of poverty. Mexico's heightened politicization is reflected in recent elections that saw Sheinbaum win an clear mandate.

Claudia Sheinbaum’s Election in Mexico Shows How the Left Can Win

Sheinbaum’s landslide victory is thanks to her commitment to continue policies that put the interests of the working class first.
