"I have decided to participate in the primary elections, to represent my party, should voters so decide, as candidate for the presidency," Lopez Obrador said in an announcement that had been widely expected since the government dropped charges against him in an obscure land case last week.

"We are going to fight for new laws, a new economy, a new form of politics," he told a news conference.

Lopez Obrador said he was certain he would have no further legal problems with his candidacy, noting his supporters had turned out by the hundreds of thousands to support him in the previous legal battle, in which he was accused of ignoring a court order.

"You shouldn't mess with the people, because the people are tough," Lopez Obrador told his daily news conference, noting he seeks a system where "there is no separation between the people and the government."

Lopez Obrador did not say who would replace him at the helm of the Western Hemisphere's largest city in the year remaining in his term, but he promised to finish the large freeway projects he started before leaving office.

    Our people are too fat and far too lazy to get up and do anything like that. Until an economic crash happens to awaken them from their slumber, they will keep on getting fat on the propaganda and junk food television.
