FRENAAA vs. President López Obrador
Sources said the President’s team is now paying attention to the roads López Obrador travels through. However, this is not due to violence but because of the movement called FRENAAA , which aims to force the Mexican President to resign. Last weekend, during the President’s visit to Puebla, FRENAA set up a billboard to call on people to unite against President López Obrador. What’s interesting is that the billboard belongs to businessman Vicente Aguirre, who is close to PES lawmaker Fernando Manzanilla. Since the PES is supposed to be an ally to the President, some are wondering if López Obrador should keep an eye on both his allies and enemies.
