Mexican president declares few assets, shows bare wallet 1 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseMexico’s austerity-crusader President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said Friday his official declaration contained virtually no assets, showing his nearly empty wallet to reporters as evidence. Lopez Obrador, an anti-establishment leftist who took office last month, has delighted supporters — but also fueled criticism — with his aggressive austerity measures. They include slashing his own salary, disbanding the presidential security detail and flying commercial airlines for official trips. However, the president — widely known by his initials, AMLO — has already landed in hot water with some aspects of his austerity push.
