Obrador vows radical change

Mexico City – Anti-establishment leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador vowed a “deep and radical” change in Mexico as he assumed the country’s presidency on Saturday, five months after winning a landslide election victory.

He took the oath of office and donned the presidential sash before Congress, where the coalition led by the upstart party he founded four years ago. Morena now has strong majorities in both houses. –
