- lithium Ben Norton, 21 March 2023 (quote) López Obrador dedicated half of his hour-long speech to discussing the history of the Cardenista revolution, and the lessons it provides for today. AMLO praised Cárdenas for challenging foreign corporations and defending national sovereignty, while redistributing land to the poor, protecting labor rights, encouraging unions, and forming an alliance with workers and peasants against the "conservative oligarchy" that had ruled Mexico during the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz, before the 1910 revolution. The speech was one of the most passionate examples of López Obrador's left-wing nationalist ideology. AMLO made clear parallels between the government of Cárdenas and his own government today, between Cárdenas' oil nationalization and López Obrador's nationalization of Mexico's lithium reserves.
