AMLO aims to leave a solid legacy in his farewell from the presidency.

Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) is in the final stretch of his term as president of Mexico, with a popularity rating hovering around 60%, which contrasts with the image of instability that many might have expected during this political transition. October 1 will mark the end of his six-year term, and in this last month, AMLO has set out to utilize his "supermajority" in Congress to leave an indelible mark on Mexican politics. This month, also known as the "September window," presents a unique opportunity for his party, the National Regeneration Movement (Morena), which has significant legislative support in both chambers. AMLO's farewell agenda includes the convening of parliamentary sessions, where he will deliver two summary speeches: one in the Congress of the Union and another in the iconic Zócalo of Mexico City. In his invitation to the public, AMLO has warned that his presentations will be extensive and has even suggested that they prepare for an outdoor event that could last several hours. This attitude reflects his desire to connect with the population and clarify his legacy before Claudia Sheinbaum, his ally and elected president, takes office. On September 15, coinciding with the celebrations of Mexico's Independence Day, AMLO will organize a free concert featuring Banda MS, one of the country's most popular groups. With this, he aims not only to celebrate a national event but also to strengthen his relationship with the people, a fundamental element of his administration. Through these activities, AMLO intends to consolidate his image as a leader close to the people, even in his farewell. However, his agenda is not limited to farewells and celebrations. During this month, the Congress is expected to address significant reforms that could change the course of various institutions in the country. Throughout his term, AMLO has proposed 18 constitutional reforms, among which the reform of the Judiciary and the transfer of the National Guard to the armed forces stand out. Both proposals have generated intense debate and criticism from various sectors of society, who believe they could affect the independence of the judicial system and endanger fundamental rights. The reform of the Judiciary has received special attention. AMLO proposes to elect judges and magistrates by popular vote and to create an external control body for the Supreme Court. Although he defends these measures as an attempt to "streamline and democratize" justice, many critics see them as an attempt to co-opt the judicial system. Organizations such as the Inter-American Dialogue and Stanford University have pointed out that these changes endanger judicial independence and are contrary to international standards. The implementation of this reform will not be easy. The opposition has expressed its rejection and concern, leading thousands of judicial officials to protest against what they consider a frontal attack on their rights and the stability of the system. The first phase of the reform has already overcome an obstacle in Congress, suggesting that AMLO is determined to seize his last legislative opportunity to leave an indelible mark on his administration. The context in which this series of reforms is taking place is crucial. With the opposition weakened and unable to challenge legislative reforms, the balance seems to tilt in favor of AMLO and his party. It is anticipated that lawmakers will seek to pass as many reforms as possible before the president leaves office, which could allow AMLO to exit the presidency with a robust legislative legacy. Political analysts have noted that the current situation is atypical, as an outgoing president usually does not enjoy such popularity or have such a solid majority in Congress. This has led to speculation about the future of Morena and how the political landscape will be reconfigured under Claudia Sheinbaum's administration. As AMLO prepares to leave office, the decisions he makes in this last month could significantly influence the country's direction in the coming years. In this framework, the situation in Congress becomes a test for the opposition. Analysts anticipate that the opposition's ability to articulate a response to AMLO's reforms will be crucial for its future political relevance. With a qualified majority in the Chamber of Deputies and nearing a similar situation in the Senate, the lingering question is how far AMLO will go in his attempt to consolidate his legacy. Finally, AMLO bids farewell to his position not only with promises and emotional speeches but also with the determination to govern until the end. In his own words, "he will leave without wasting a single day," reflecting a philosophy of action that has characterized his administration from the beginning. Thus, he hints that his influence on Mexican politics will not end with his term but will transform into a new chapter in the country's history.
