Mexico’s left-leaning president is sworn in

Leftist politician Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has assumed Mexico’s presidency with a promise to profoundly transform Latin America’s second-biggest economy and to lead a government free of corruption. Seemingly tireless at the age of 65, Mr Lopez Obrador breezed through a day of public appearances that included taking the oath of office and speaking to congress and attending an inaugural celebration at Mexico City’s vast main square.
