Zedillo Takes Aim at AMLO: Claims Loss of Democratic Citizenship Privilege

Ernesto Zedillo criticized Andrés Manuel López Obradors policies on democracy and pensions, asserting his independence from the privilege of presidential pensions due to his role at Yale.

• In an interview with El Mundo (Spain), Ernesto Zedillo revealed he renounced the presidential pension long before Andrés Manuel López Obradors recent policy changes.
• Zedillo stated his decision to forgo the privilege of lifelong pensions stems from his commitment to Democracy and his ongoing work at Yale University.
• The remarks come amid a political climate in Mexico where López Obradors government is redefining the privileges associated with former presidents, including those from the Institutional Revolutionary Party.
