Tens of thousands marched with Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Sunday in a massive demonstration through the center of the country's capital to show their support for the head of state before a 2024 general election.

"Mexico is no longer run by oligarchy, now there is a democratic system whose priority is the poor," the president told people crowding the vast Zocalo square at the city's center.

Lopez Obrador, whose administration has made double-digit minimum wages hikes for the past four years, proposed that the 2023 increase could land around 20%, and forecast the country's economic growth would beat expectations.
