Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador voiced displeasure at the performance of former Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum, his party's presidential nominee, at Sunday's debate.

There were plenty of reasons to criticize Mexico’s first presidential debate leading up to the June 2 election. The format was a bit constrictive, and the candidates’ timer wasn’t working at some points, leaving it unclear how much longer they could speak. But President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said Tuesday he had a novel reason for disliking Sunday’s debate: It wasn’t about him.

The whole narrative of the debate, if you analyze it, revolved around what our opponents say,' López Obrador said at his daily press briefing. 'The whole narrative of the debate was to not recognize anything' done under his administration, 'as if we had not focused on completely banishing corruption.' López Obrador has acknowledged that corruption cases continued to occur after he took office in December 2018.

ópez Obrador calls his administration 'the Fourth Transformation,' claiming it is the successor to the three most heroic chapters of Mexican history: the 1810-1821 fight for independence from Spain, the liberal reforms that broke the church’s dominance in the 1850s and the 1910-1917 Mexican Revolution.
