New York., The Choir of it is an honor to be with Obrador
It exploded at the John F. Kennedy Airport, where mariachis, activists and supporters of Andrés Manuel López Obrador and Morena welcomed the President of Mexico to New York City.
This Tuesday, the president will head the Security Council of the United Nations (UN). There he will offer a speech on inequality, exclusion and corruption as root problems of conflicts. In addition, he reported, he will meet with the UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres.
He will also stand guard at Mexican artistic monuments, particularly a sculpture of President Benito Juárez.
He will not meet with the countrymen, but he said in his morning conference at the National Palace that he will send them a recorded message, “then we eat (Tuesday) and we go back, now you really ‘eat and come back,” he said.
Inside and outside the terminal, dozens of Mexicans waited for him with messages of welcome to this city. A blanket said For a change without borders
, with the image of the President in the center, the Angel of Independence on one side and the Statue of Liberty on the other.
Others carried banners, Mexican flags and photos of López Obrador with messages of gratitude and affection –we love you
– to receive. Those who waited for him were not only residents of this city and its surroundings, but several more identified themselves as coming from various states, including from California, Florida and Illinois. We are immigrants supporting Q4
they said.
Hurray Mexico
, What joy
, it was repeated, while the Habanero mariachi played classical themes.
However, due to security measures, López Obrador could not greet those who were waiting for him at the airport, but a little later he arrived at his hotel, where more supporters received him with applause and shouts, which intensified when for a moment he he got as close as possible – since he was escorted by what is supposed to be the Secret Service. Shortly before he arrived, during the wait, they intoned Las Mañanitas.
On Tuesday, supporters and activists called for a Amlofest
outside the UN, while he is at his official activities within the world headquarters.
