Molotov, the Mexican rock and roll band appeared days before the Mandate Revocation of Andrés Manuel López Obrador with the song that opens the way for their new album, and in which they were released against the leader of the 4T and other former presidents.
In his song he takes a short and poor tour of the most recent presidents of Mexico, specifically Luis Echeverría, who led the country around the years when the band members were born.
The video, animated through the drawings, can be seen different scenes that recall movements such as the student who was repressed by the PRI in the so-called “Falconazo” of 1971. Precisely Falcons with sticks in their fists represented that injustice.
José López Portillo continues the song with clear references to the iconic phrase of the former president, who promised, almost at the point of crying and in front of Congress, “to defend the weight like a dog”.
“The dog was a hound and he wanted to steal that bone,” they said in their verse.
Miguel de la Madrid is next on the list, whom they called “narcissist” and “scorpion”, approaching his six-year term from the little support seen from the government after the earthquake, as well as remembering the rechifla at the inauguration of the world cup.
Carlos Salinas de Gortari was reproached, first of all, for removing zeros from peso, in addition to showing in his animation how he allegedly robbed Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas of the PRD's elections, and called him a “thief”.
They also evidenced Ernesto Zedillo, whom they pointed out only of having been imposed on the Mexican presidency through the classic dedazo, and nothing more.
Vicente Fox and Felipe Calderón, the first two alternating governments in Mexico after more than 70 years, also appeared in the new song by Tito, Randy, Paco and Micky.
They pointed out that the Guanajuato started to “chambear” his wife, Martha Sahagún, while he only warmed the chair, but of his horse; on Calderón, they blamed him for “leaving everything battered” and they remembered the rumor of his alleged addiction to alcohol, while they sing: “What happens is that the band is drunk”.
It was the turn of Enrique Peña Nieto, the last president of the Prism so far. They remembered then that it was the face of a “younger” party that turned out not so different, and they did not spare the allegedly staged wedding with Angelica Rivera.
The last one to parade, of course, Andrés Manuel López Obrador. His criticism is geared towards his phrase “hugs not bullets”, at the same time he showed a saint who supposedly took care of him from the pandemic and the constant remarks he makes against previous governments.
In his animation, we can also see the Tabasqueño presumably dressed as a spiritual guru, and on his chest the phrase: “the false messiah of Mexico”.
Between verses there is also a chorus to the rhythm of reggae “to raise your hand if someone of these helped, we do not forget, here we write them down, here we remind them”.
