The President of the Mexican Left sides with Trump. Democracy is not Plutocracy
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, aka AMLO, has flatly condemned the boycott actions undertaken by major US social media platforms against Trump. He, secretary of the left-wing Democratic Revolutionary Party, has had an acceptable relationship with Trump in the past
The Mexican president acknowledged that the blockade applied by Facebook and Twitter to the messages of the US president poses an extremely serious case of censorship applied to an elected political figure and sets a very serious precedent that must be taken into account in the future.
“ I don't like someone being censored or taking away the right to post a message on Twitter or Facebook. I do not agree, I do not accept it, “said Lopez Obrador openly. He then compared the cancellation to the Inquisition in medieval Europe under the Catholic monarchs:
How can you censor someone: " So I, as a judge of the Holy Inquisition, will punish you because I think what you are saying is harmful, " López Obrador said in a large, unsolicited speech on the subject " Where is the law , where is the regulation, what are the rules? This is a question of government, not a question of private companies “.
Finally, he called Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg as " arrogant " for his comments. “I felt he was very important and very arrogant,” Lopez Obrador said.
AMLO is a left-wing president, elected with a left-wing agenda and who is fighting hard against corruption, drug cartels and women's rights. A true left is in favor of free speech, precisely by its very nature. Instead the American Pluto-Communist left, led by a handful of hyper-rich who think they run the world according to their will.
