TIJUANA, Mexico — Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador spoke in Tijuana on Friday morning, following a weekend of chaos in the border city that left more than 30 vehicles burned and residents in panic.
López Obrador highlighted his support of Baja California governor in addressing the events of last weekend.
“We are very pleased to be here to support Gov. Marina del Pilar Ávila Omeda. She was democratically elected. She is the legal and legitimately-constituted governor,” said López Obrador, speaking at a news conference at a military base in Tijuana early Friday morning. “She has our support and even more our sympathy. We have come to tell her that she is not alone and that the federal government will always support her,” he said.
