“Felipe Calderón, a former energy minister and onetime long-shot candidate, was unanimously declared president-elect of Mexico on Tuesday in a court decision that capped a two-month legal battle but did not end the nation’s political crisis.
Calderón’s opponent, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, refused to recognize the decision. During a fiery address before thousands of supporters in Mexico City’s downtown square, the Zocalo, he mocked Calderón as an “illegitimate president” and pledged to create an “alternative government” to “refound the republic and re-establish constitutional order” before the Dec. 1 presidential inauguration.”
