Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Mexico’s first leftist president in seven decades, has been sworn in with a promise to abolish free-market policies and transform Latin America’s second-biggest economy.
The 65-year-old former Mexico City mayor and left-wing nationalist, known by his initials Amlo, attacked neo-liberalism and vowed to help the poor in a nation where almost half the population lives in poverty.
