Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) and his party MORENA's resounding electoral victory in Mexico in 2018 marked a seismic shift in the country's political landscape, challenging the dominance of neoliberal parties and ushering in a left-populist presidency. AMLO's presidency sought to move Mexico away from neoliberalism towards nationalist-developmentalist capitalism. Key criteria for assessing his administration include the reinstatement of class politics, the effort to reestablish the power of a hollowed-out state apparatus, and breaking from the corruption-laden economic paradigm of neoliberalism. AMLO's presidency has seen a revival of class politics, with significant pro-worker reforms and a focus on social programs, strengthening the working class as a political force. Efforts to recenter state power have led to a recentralization of government functions and infrastructure projects. Additionally, AMLO's government has taken measures to curb corruption, aiming to promote transparency and accountability. Despite criticism in areas like gender politics and border policies, AMLO's attempt to break with neoliberalism represents a significant shift in Mexico's political trajectory, prompting discussions about the challenges and opportunities of his approach.
