translated from Spanish: I’m 100 in health, but there won’t be re-election: AMLO

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador insisted this Sunday that he will not seek re-election in 2024, although he says he is in good health.
“There will be no re-election, for I am a lumberjack. Effective suffrage, not re-election. I made a commitment to be just until the 24th,” the representative said after being interrupted at a rally in Hidalgotitlán, Veracruz.
López Obrador added: ‘Imagine what my adversaries would say: ‘How will it continue if that old man is already banging?’ I’m 100.”

However, he said that it was not his state of salute, but that he should be respectful of the principle of non-re-election.
“You don’t have to have much attachment to power. What is power? Power is humility, power only makes sense and it becomes virtue when it is put at the service of others,” he said.
Last July, López Obrador signed to a notary public a document in which he pledged not to re-elect himself and stated that it will last “as long as the people want”.

“I am not going to hold on to the Presidency,” López Obrador said on July 25.
He argued at the time that he was not only against re-election, but is proposing the revocation of the mandate.
