40-year-anniversary of death of Mexico's greatest president: Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas calls for unity

In a commemoration of the the 40th anniversary for the death of his father, Lázaro Cárdenas del Río, Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas Solórzano called for the unity of left, democratic, and progressive forces. Flanked by Leonel Godoy, governor of the Cárdenas' home state Michoacán, and Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard, the PRD founder declared:
"We are proposing the elaboration of a unifying proposal that contains the agreements of those who identify themselves as revolutionaries, democrats, and/or progressives... Let's put aside personal aspirations or aspirations of groups. Let us not complicate this task with electoral matters, for which time will come to make decisions."
Three quick comments, and a question:

1. As always, the issue is not so much who was there but who was not: AMLO.
2. Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas denouncing personal ambitions? Boy, do you look black, teapot!
3. AMLO already proposed his "Alternative National Protect."
4. A unifying proposal  - who will be the unifying personality, ingeniero?
