HENRY FOWLER and ROB POOLE explain the significance of today’s Megapicket
ON APRIL 10 Mexicans voted in a recall referendum on President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (Amlo) just over half way through his six-year term.
The result was a smashing victory for the president: of 17 million who voted, 15.6 million — around 91 per cent — voted for him to remain in office.
This was more or less what was expected, because the opposition, knowing it would lose, had campaigned against holding the referendum and when they couldn’t prevent it, called on people not to vote.
