"Why do we have to support Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador? Because in my opinion, he is one of the best presidents of the last 50 years," one of the participants said.
Lopez Obrador is planning electoral reforms which he says will improve democracy and cut economic influence. The opposition has called it a power grab and accused him of using state resources to maintain his popularity, which the president denies.
