MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - The bumper reforms package Mexico's president stitched together in the dying days of his presidency may fizzle in the legislature but it points to his desire to build a legacy and mould the political agenda of his handpicked successor.
Making no secret that the package is an attempt to influence the debate before the June 2 poll his protégé Claudia Sheinbaum is favored to win, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has conceded it's unlikely Congress would pass many of his proposed 18 constitutional and two legal reforms.
