         ¶B. MEXICO 765

    Summary

    ¶1. (U) Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO), presidential
    candidate for the Democratic Revolution Party (PRD), held a
    campaign event on 02/26 that filled Mexico City's central
    plaza (Zocalo) with approximately 70,000 to 120,000
    supporters.  The event marked the end of a successful first
    stage of the campaign as polls show AMLO's lead increase to
    almost 10 points since the campaigns officially began in
    January.  The Zocalo event was also the launch of the
    campaign's second stage (reftel) which will be adjusted
    slightly to expand AMLO's image not only as a leader but as a
    team player as well.  The focus of the second stage's initial
    two weeks will be to support PRD candidates in the March 12
    State of Mexico local elections.  From there, AMLO will
    attempt to visit over 400 municipalities around the country
    before June.  At an average of five campaign events a day,
    there is concern that AMLO will burn out before the
    elections.  PRD insiders, however, believe he will only
    continue to get stronger.  End Summary.

    Welcome Back, AMLO

    ¶2. (U) The Zocalo rally was  billed as the largest event of
    the campaign, and AMLO did not disappoint, raising the
    enthusiasm of approximately 70,000 to 120,000 supporters,
    many of who were bused in from all over the city and
    surrounding areas.  His speech focused on a number of his
    most important domestic policies and a summary of the
    campaign's first stage, but also touched on some of AMLO's
    foreign policy initiatives.  His promises to the crowd
    included lowering electric, gas, and gasoline prices, ending
    taxes on food and medicine, and making the energy sector the
    engine for economic development without opening it to private
    investment.  He also added that if elected president he would
    not raise taxes and would slash cabinet secretary salaries as
    well as presidential pensions.  He listed his 26 specific
    promises to Mexico City, a strategy he has used throughout
    the campaign of creating specific commitments to meet the
    needs of each individual state in addition to his 50 Promises
    for the Nation.  AMLO used the event to highlight some of his
    foreign policy beliefs as well, not surprisingly inspired by
    the Sheraton-Cuban delegation affair (reftel).  AMLO stated
    that he would return Mexico to its traditional foreign policy
    of non-intervention and that Mexico was "not going to meddle
    in the internal life of other peoples and other governments,
    because we don't want them meddling in ours."  He explained
    that Mexico was not going to be the puppet of any foreign
    government, although he did not mention the United States
    directly.  He also added that he would give Mexico's 45
    consulates in the U.S. more responsibilities to defend the
    rights of migrant workers living in the U.S.  AMLO did state,
    however, that his government was open to international
    cooperation and that he would have friendly, cooperative
    relationships with " all the societies and governments of the
    world."

    ¶3. (SBU) Hoping to take advantage of February polls that show
    him ahead of National Action Party (PAN) candidate Felipe
    Calderon by almost 10 points, AMLO told the crowd that he
    would soon start the next phase of his campaign, visiting
    municipalities and rural regions of the country to get even
    closer to the public, finishing once again in Mexico City's
    Zocalo.  Jesus Ortega, AMLO's campaign coordinator, told us
    during a previous meeting that the objective of this second
    stage was to show AMLO as a team player, supporting other PRD
    candidates around the country and hopefully help them win
    their respective races (reftel).  The first two weeks of the
    second stage will focus on municipalities in the State of
    Mexico in an attempt to help PRD candidates campaigning in 41
    of the states 125 municipalities.  Winning the majority of
    those municipalities during March 12 elections would be a
    huge victory for the campaign.  The PRD currently controls 21
    of the state's municipalities and has only 19 representatives
    in the local congress.  The PRD, which was disappointed in
    last July's gubernatorial elections, hopes that recent
    scandals involving former PRI governor Montiel will erode the
    PRI's hold on one of the key 2006 states.  According to one
    source close to the campaign, it appears that PRD candidates
    will win in a number of the municipalities and hopefully
    place a strong second in the others.

    Running on Empty?

    ¶4. (SBU) After the March 12 State of Mexico elections, AMLO
    will attempt to visit over 400 municipalities around the
    country, helping local PRD candidates and reaching out to
    poorer, rural voters.  Some analysts and observers claim that
    at an average of 5 campaign events a day, AMLO will run out

    MEXICO 00001311  002 OF 002

    of energy before the July 2 elections take place.  Those
    close to AMLO, however, state otherwise - telling us that
    AMLO will get stronger as the campaign continues.  A number
    of Citizens Network coordinators we met with said that AMLO
    gets his energy from the crowd and feeds off of their
    excitement.  Rafael Marin, coordinator for the three states
    encompassing the Yucatan peninsula and long-time AMLO friend,
    told us that when he was campaigning with AMLO in 1994 for
    the Tabasco governorship he would wake up before the sun rose
    and went to bed well past midnight - never once looking tired
    or skipping an event.

    Comment

    ¶5. (U) There is a good chance AMLO will concentrate in this
    second phase of the campaign on areas where support is lower
    but where voters will have a higher impact on the election
    results.  According to a report in Reforma, six states
    represent 45.7% of possible voters - Mexico City, State of
    Mexico, Veracruz, Jalisco, Guanajuato, and Puebla.  AMLO is
    strongest in Mexico City and Veracruz, while the PRI controls
    State of Mexico, Jalisco and Puebla and the PAN holds
    Guanajuato.  Helping AMLO's cause in PRI territory are a
    number of recent desertions and scandals that have rocked his
    opponent's campaign.  At least one pollster has told us that
    disenchanted PRIistas are more likely to shift toward the PRD
    (a spin-off of the PRI) than the PAN.  According to Citizens
    Network coordinators we have met with, there are only a
    handful of states where AMLO holds third place, mostly in the
    north of the country.
