Since his arrival to the presidency, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) has maintained a particular communication strategy never seen before in those who preceded him in power, marking a before and after in terms of presidential communication in Mexico. A preponderant place in said strategy has been occupied by his political discourse, which has significantly permeated those who support his project of the Fourth Transformation, by virtue of the fact that his rhetoric is direct and uses simple words with a vanguard political symbolism, taking up the problems that have damaged the Mexican people for decades, among which the corruption in public institutions, the control of power by the elites and the inequality between social classes stand out. Derived from the above, this research is approached through a qualitative approach, based on the political analysis of Ernesto Laclau's speech.
