Andrés Manuel López Obrador, thank you! (Planeta, 2024), has the tone of a farewell letter and a political testament. The Mexican president has left an autobiography of his struggle on the left in more than 500 pages.

The president affirms that we must bet on an alliance with the poor—who “do not usually betray” and “have kept us afloat” to push for transformative changes in the country. “Who really defends a democratic government? The people,” he says.
