Watch: Corbyn appears as guest of honour at the president of Mexico’s press conference

The former Labour leader said the fact Lopez Obrador held daily news conferences was "very impressive and shows a degree of openness in government which is not found in many countries, indeed anywhere at all in the world."

Jeremy Corbyn appeared as a guest of honour at the president of Mexico’s press conference yesterday.

Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador hosted the former Labour Party leader at his morning news conference, praising the veteran socialist and receiving warm words from the Englishman in return.

Lopez Obrador, a fellow leftist, has for several years maintained a friendship with Corbyn, who attended the news conference with Laura Alvarez, his Mexican wife, Reuters reported.

“We identify with each other because Jeremy is a defender of just causes, he’s a defender of workers in the United Kingdom,” said Lopez Obrador, who also expressed admiration for the confrontational debating style of the British parliament.

Corbyn, wearing a tie and an olive green suit, and Alvarez sat on a stage in the National Palace in Mexico City, where Lopez Obrador holds news conferences from 7 a.m. daily.

After saying a few words in Spanish, Corbyn said the fact Lopez Obrador held the news conferences was “very impressive and shows a degree of openness in government which is not … found in many countries, indeed anywhere at all in the world.”

It’s fantastic that this thoughtful, humble man is a representative of Britain abroad. With the current mob in charge we need all the friends we can get.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
