Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) is preparing for an intense month full of activities before leaving the presidency of Mexico on October 1. Despite the criticisms and controversies that have marked his term, the current president bids farewell with a notable 60% approval rating, an ally in the elected president, Claudia Sheinbaum, and a legislative power that allows him to carry out a series of reforms that will define his political legacy. With a supermajority in Congress, AMLO aims to make the most of this final month, turning it into a decisive period for the country's future. This Sunday, AMLO will kick off the parliamentary sessions with two scheduled speeches, one in the Congress of the Union and another in the iconic Zócalo of Mexico City. Anticipating what is to come, he warned attendees to prepare for an extensive event, highlighting his intention to provide a thorough summary of his management and the achievements reached during his administration. This event will not only serve as a farewell but also as a celebration of what he considers a period of transformation in the country. The celebration of the Fiestas Patrias on September 15 will be another highlight of his farewell. AMLO has organized a free concert featuring the popular Banda MS in the nation's main square, aiming to unite Mexicans in a festive atmosphere while reflecting on his legacy. Additionally, the president plans to tour various regions of the country accompanied by the elected president, who has expressed interest in firsthand knowledge of the advances and challenges facing the nation. However, the month of September will not be limited to farewells and festivities. During this time, Congress is expected to discuss and approve a set of constitutional reforms that AMLO has proposed, many of which are considered controversial. Among them is the reform of the Judiciary, which seeks to change the way judges and magistrates are elected and establish an independent oversight body for the Supreme Court. This reform has raised concerns among various sectors of society, including international organizations warning about the potential weakening of judicial independence. AMLO defends his proposal, arguing that his intention is to "streamline and democratize" justice, but many critics believe these changes pose a direct threat to the rule of law in Mexico. The current judicial system, often described as inefficient and politicized, has been subjected to constant tensions between the Executive and Judicial branches. Protests from judicial officials against the reform reflect the climate of unease surrounding this proposal, which could radically change the structure of the judicial system in the country. With a supermajority in Congress, AMLO has sufficient support to advance many of these reforms. This situation is unusual, as an outgoing president typically does not have this level of backing in their final month in office. The expectation is that lawmakers will seek to approve as many reforms as possible, which could leave a significant legacy for the outgoing president. The opposition, weakened after the recent elections, faces a significant challenge in this context. Political experts warn that the upcoming moves in Congress will be crucial to measure their capacity to resist against a ruling bloc that has demonstrated surprising cohesion. The current situation tests not only the strength of the opposition but also the future direction of Mexican politics. As the end of his term approaches, AMLO is determined to leave his mark on the country's history. Although his exit from politics is on the horizon, his focus on reforms and management until the last moment indicates that his influence in Mexico's political life will continue, at least in the short term. This month will define not only his legacy but also the path that the country will take under Claudia Sheinbaum's administration, who will have to navigate between promises of change and the realities of a constantly evolving nation. In conclusion, September shapes up to be a decisive and symbolic month in AMLO's administration. His ability to leverage the "supermajority" in Congress to push through reforms, alongside a focus on celebrations and farewells, marks a closing that will not leave anyone indifferent. Mexico's political history is at a turning point, and what happens in the coming weeks will have significant repercussions for the country's future.
