Anders Manuel Lopez Obrador caused a stir in the country and among the Jewish community in particular, after comparing commentator Carlos Elazarki to the Nazi oppressor.
"He is extremely conservative, as if he were Hitlerite," Oberdor said during a news conference on Wednesday with a permanent corner for what the government defines as "Pike News."
On Thursday Lopez Oberdor repeated things.
Elazarki previously posted a video on his YouTube channel alongside journalist Beatrice Pugs, who criticized the government over its immigration policy and what it claims to be illegal infiltrators from Venezuela.

"There are strange things happening at the airport," she hinted.
"There are planes loaded with Venezuelans, they are coming to Mexico without going through immigration. We are full of illegals, we do not know what they are coming to do in Mexico," the journalist warned.
"He is extremely conservative, he is like a Hitler," the president responded.
"Think that because Hitler no longer exists or that Stalin, Franco, or Mussolini no longer exist, Nazi, fascist, Stalinist and right-wing thinking has disappeared. Or the far-right Spanish. No, it does exist," Lopez Obrador stressed.
Meanwhile, Mexico's Jewish community issued a statement condemning the president's statement that "any comparison to the most murderous regime in history is unfortunate and unacceptable."
The Jewish commentator Elazarki, for his part, published a column in which he also responded: "All I have is because of Mexico, which has given me so many options."
