Mexico is elected president: no bodyguard, no special plane.

Mexico is elected president: no bodyguard, no special plane.
Mexico's National Electoral Commission, released by the National Election Commission in July 1st, shows that Andreas Manuel Lopez Obrador, the presidential candidate for the National Revival Movement Party, has a big lead in the presidential election. Later, he declared himself the winner of this presidential election. In the past 10 years, Mexico has been deeply affected by drug crimes, and at least 200 thousand people have been killed in the drug war. When Lopez wanted to take over the country, he said he would give up tight security.
According to the British guardian, Lopez told reporters in July 3rd local time that he did not want bodyguards and that the people would protect him.


This is not the first time Lopez has expressed a similar view. "I don't want to be surrounded by bodyguards, I want you to take care of me, and I want people to take care of me," he told the public in a campaign rally in Hidalgo in May.


In this regard, Jose Antonio Crespo, a political analyst at the Mexico economic research and teaching center, said the decision was "a completely irresponsible act."


Crespo told the The Associated Press that when a person is not an ordinary citizen but a head of state, he said, "I do not have any privileges like anyone else." it would be a bit of a confusing effect.


This is not the only surprise of Lopez. He also refused to stay in the magnificent presidential residence and promised to transform the building into the art center of the people of Mexico.


He said he would sell the presidential plane and ban senior officials from private airplanes and helicopters. "All this is going to end... We can't make the country rich and the weak. "


He also promised to cut wages for himself and Mexico's bureaucracy. "My salary will be only half of that of President Nieto. I will cut the salaries of those at the top, so that we can raise the wages of the lower class. Teachers, nurses, doctors, cleaners, policemen, soldiers, farmers and so on will make more money.
