Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's verbal attacks on a charismatic opposition rival have raised her profile and fed concern among some supporters that far from derailing her campaign for the presidency, he is undermining his own party.
Lopez Obrador has sought to break this narrative by branding Galvez a millionaire, said Roy Campos, Mitofsky's director."The president should be looking out for the public, not who he can mess with," said Gabriel Islas, 48, a Mexico City resident who urged Lopez Obrador to stop picking on Galvez.
The authority this week ordered Lopez Obrador to remain neutral and abstain from election comments. He said he would "pause" such remarks, but he and aides continue making allusions to her. Under Fox's government, Congress in 2005 stripped Lopez Obrador of immunity from prosecution over a minor land dispute. The case was later dropped but sparked major protests and bolstered Lopez Obrador's popularity ahead of the 2006 presidential election.
Lopez Obrador has acknowledged some allies want him to keep quiet rather than "build up" Galvez. But, he said, the public must know she had "gone from selling jelly to being a millionaire."
