On May 12, 2018, in Guelatao, Oaxaca, presidential candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador offered the teachers of the CNTE union a ten-point commitment. According to Expansión, he saw no need to sign it. The next day he said: “Los maestros me tienen confianza y saben que yo cumplo los compromisos” (The teachers trust me and know that I keep my commitments). (Video in Spanish.)
As president, he said in October 2023: “Soy un hombre de palabra” (I am a man of my word).
