CNN: Mexico swears in new leftist president
Mexico swore in leftist leader Andrés Manuel López Obrador, known as AMLO, Saturday before a crowd that included world leaders and a strong majority in both houses of Congress.
López Obrador won a landslide victory in the July 1 presidential election and began his his six-year term promising to carry out a strong fight against corruption, insisting that the issue has been Mexico's worst nightmare.
"Nothing has harmed Mexico more that the dishonesty of the rulers," he said.
During his swearing-in, López Obrador reaffirmed his intentions to sell Mexico's official presidential plane and to not live in the presidential palace. He said he will receive 40% of his presidential salary. In an extraordinary move, López Obrador also announced his intention to promote a recall referendum during his administration, adding the promise that he "will never seek reelection."
Mexico's new President, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, delivers a speech at the inauguration ceremony at the Congress of the Union in Mexico City on Saturday.
