Tom Phillips in Mexico City

But on Tuesday, Mexico’s incoming president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, claimed he would waive the right to close protection in a bid to stay close to the people.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Mexico's, new PM, is lying!  He has secert bodyguards, & all the drug cartel protecting him.  What a liar.  It is a stunt.    About 120 people who had hopes of running, are now dead.   DON'T BELIEVE THAT POS.
