From Tabasco, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said of his countryman Adán Augusto López Hernández that he is very competent and educated. But the same Marcelo Ebrard and Claudia Sheinbaum. They have their own characteristics, their personal style, but the coincidences in the need to promote the transformation of Mexico are notorious, he highlighted.

In his morning conference, he pointed out that the three officials and candidates for the presidential candidacy for Morena are very professional and that is a guarantee for the country, because not everyone can govern. He pointed out that those who can replace him, the most visible and the most talked about, have a lot of experience in politics and public administration.

Adán has been a legislator, governor of Tabasco and now Secretary of the Interior, but so has Marcelo Ebrard, legislator, head of government of Mexico City and secretary of Foreign Relations, and Claudia Sheinbaum, head of the delegation and head of government. All with experience. The president called brothers and sisters to all three and insisted that the rules for the election of the Morenista candidate are defined. It will be through a survey and when the people decide We are going to close ranks and our adversaries will be left wanting to see us divided.

When asked if the southeast is well represented in the competition for the Presidency with the Secretary of the Interior, the president replied: yes, yes, of course, and the whole country too.

For the rest, he explained that the social movement he leads is going well. People are happy with the change, with the transformation. And even those at the top, the powerful, have no reason to complain, their differences have to do with the political and the ideological, because before they were the ones in charge; but economically, in their businesses, they have done well. There is no one who has gone bankrupt or who is failing to win.

He expressed that there are those who would like the country to do badly so that it was bad for usbut they have had to limit themselves because the people are in charge of putting them in their place.
