  • Andrés Manuel López Beltrán said his most important gathering is direct contact with the public and pledged to continue visiting residents door to door.
  • He invited journalist Héctor de Mauleón and the director of El Universal to join a visit in Tacotalpa, Tabasco, while calling de Mauleón a spy.
  • The article also details a five-hour meeting in Mexico City involving López Beltrán, his brother Gonzalo, Morena lawmaker Daniel Asaf and businessmen, whose purpose was not disclosed.

For Andrés Manuel López Beltrán, the most important political gathering is not the restaurant meeting that drew attention in Mexico City. It is the contact he says he maintains with people, house by house.

After meeting his brother Gonzalo, Morena deputy Daniel Asaf and two businessmen in the Condesa neighborhood, López Beltrán said on social media that he would continue visiting residents and distributing Regeneración as part of his effort to obtain a federal congressional seat.

I would very much like the spy Héctor de Mauleón and the director of that rag called El Universal to accompany us to this very important conclave, the most important one for us.

· Andrés Manuel López BeltránHe invited the journalist and newspaper director to join his door-to-door political tour.

He also turned his criticism toward journalist Héctor de Mauleón, describing him as a spy and inviting him, along with the director of El Universal, to join a tour in Tacotalpa, Tabasco. “I would very much like the spy Héctor de Mauleón and the director of that rag called El Universal to accompany us to this very important conclave, the most important one for us,” he said.

We will continue informing people house by house about the defense of our national sovereignty and also the defense of Mexico's Fourth Transformation.

· Andrés Manuel López BeltránHe described the purpose of his outreach while seeking a federal congressional seat.

López Beltrán said the door-to-door work would focus on defending national sovereignty and Mexico's Fourth Transformation. He added that his father, former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, taught his children from an early age to listen to, serve, visit and obey the people.

The meeting at the Magazzino restaurant took place on Aug. 24 in Mexico City's Cuauhtémoc borough. Images showed López Beltrán, Gonzalo López Beltrán, Asaf, businessman Juan Domingo Beckmann and Mauricio Garduño arriving in vehicles. The article says the gathering lasted at least five hours, although the video had no audio and did not disclose its purpose. De Mauleón suggested one possible topic was the detention of Fausto Corrales Rodríguez, a former assistant and driver to slain former Autonomous University of Sinaloa rector Héctor Melesio Cuén. Asaf declined to comment when approached by reporters, and López Beltrán had not commented immediately after El Universal first published images of the gathering.

From a very young age, our father Andrés Manuel López Obrador taught us to listen to, serve, visit and obey the people.

· Andrés Manuel López BeltránHe explained the political tradition he says guides his public outreach.
