AMLO, if elected president, will not make a pact with the drug gangs

Andrés Manuel López Obrador, in a mass meeting of 4,000 supporters held in downtown Aguascalientes, said explicitly that he would not make a pact with the drug gangs should he be elected president.

Yet again he offered very little in terms of presenting an actual alternative to Calderón's current strategy:

"I will not make truce with the drug traffickers, we must find other strategies, to address the causes, to create employment, to provide for the young. Calderón stupidly hit the nest with a club without knowing what he was going to find."
