Lopez Obrador fights to cool his firebrand reputation

Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador — is a household name, known universally by the acronym AMLO is a candidate for July's Mexican presidential election. He’s also a former two-time presidential candidate and ex-mayor of Mexico City, and currently leads numerous polls, suggesting he could be elected in a few months.

His party is trying to cool that firebrand reputation with a platform that contains a dollop of centre-left, belt-tightening economics a la Bill Clinton and Jean Chretien.
