Mexico’s foreign minister, Marcelo Ebrard, has assured that he is ready to be the next president of Mexico ahead of the general elections scheduled for 2024, and has assured that he is »the only successor» to the current president, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
»I am no enigma, he already knows it», he expressed in an interview on Radio Fórmula, stressing his support to the current president. »I’ve known him for 25 or 26 years, we have always been close in very difficult things. Even competing, as in 2011», when López Obrador defeated him in the electoral race to be the candidate of the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD), »without ever betraying him».
»I am ready and I am seeking the candidacy for the party in which I am militating, for the cause I have defended. And I am sure that I can and will win that poll», added the politician, who hopes to become the candidate of the National Regeneration Movement (also known as Morena).
During his time as head of the Government in Mexico City, he has affirmed, he completed a »common plan» with López Obrador in social and security matters, something that he plans to be one of the key points of his campaign.
He has also detailed his intention to expand the Mexican middle class »very quickly, in this decade», in order to avoid the aging of its population.
Ebrard has published an autobiography, ‘El camino de México’ (Aguilar, 2023), with which it is believed that he is beginning to pave the way for his future candidacy for the presidency in the Mexican general elections of 2024.
