The triumph of center-left Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) in the presidential elections in Mexico will not mean a sudden change in the political and economic direction of the country. After two frustrated attempts in 2006 and 2012, the former mayor of Mexico City won the elections with a moderate proposal. The program of the Morena (National Regeneration Movement) -the force that led the triumphant electoral coalition- is far from being likened to the different parties and coalitions of the left that came to power through the electoral process in several Latin American countries in the last decades: he does not plan to nationalize any strategic sector, not even the energy sector, nor to carry out political reforms that decentralize state powers to organizations far from representative democracy.
