Porfirio Muñoz Ledo called for the resignation of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, after his reaction to the demonstration where thousands of people marched in favor of the INE and against its electoral reform initiative.
The former president of the Chamber of Deputies said the president reacted with “inconsistencies and exorbitant insults revealing serious psychological disturbances.”
This, after López Obrador described as a “political striptease” the mobilization in defense of the National Electoral Institute (INE).
“He must resign in accordance with Article 86 of the Constitution. We are going to demand it all and everywhere,” he posted.
Let López Obrador resign.
Mexican citizens have decided to defend the @INEMexico and resume the democratic transition. The president reacted with inconsistencies and exorbitant insults revealing serious psychological disturbances.

Last June, Muñoz Ledo accused the president of inheriting an alliance with drug trafficking for whoever succeeds him in the 2024 elections.
“The president is going to finish his term, the track is already running out. He thinks that he can inherit to the next government his association with criminals and that this gives him greater power, because in addition to having the authority and resources of the federal government, these are added to those of drug trafficking, so there is nothing that can oppose him, “he said.
At the time, López Obrador said it was “a baseless trial” and “vulgar.”
“(They are) wanting to confuse, to deceive that we, I have links with drug trafficking or drug trafficking groups. Let’s go in parts. It’s really very ordinary, very vulgar all this. I regret this because, for example, Mr. Muñoz Ledo knows me very well, and dares to maintain that the government has ties to drug trafficking. It is a baseless, reckless trial,” he said on June 3.
