Mexico is in the final week of campaigning before next Sunday’s presidential election. Former Mexico City Mayor Andrés Manuel López Obrador has surged in the polls to challenge front-runner Enrique Peña Nieto of the Institutional Revolutionary Party. López Obrador narrowly lost Mexico’s 2006 elections by less than a percentage point to outgoing Mexican President Felipe Calderón. In an address to supporters, López Obrador called for addressing inequality in Mexico.

Andrés Manuel López Obrador: “If we don’t combat poverty and inequality, we will not be a nation at peace. Frustration will continue, and the culmination of hate that we have seen recently will continue. Insecurity and violence will continue.”
