The correct answer to this open question is the following.

I am going to help you with current affairs in Mexico. Hope this information can be of value to prepare your presentation.

The topic is the administration of actual Mexican Presidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador and how he has created a big impact on México after his victory in the 2018 elections

This represented a major advancement in Mexican politics after 40 years of "liberalism" policies that failed and made poor people more poor and rich people richer.

Candidate López Obrador received the support of 30 million votes, a total record in the history of México. His base support was poor and middle social classes that had been suffering the consequences of those "liberalism" years or political corruption and favoritism for big Nacional and multinational corporations at the expense of low and middle classes.

Since the first day of his government, the new President changed the rules on how to make politics in México.

One of the first things he did was to disappear the "personal military service corps," which were responsible for the security of the president. The equivalent of the US Secret Service. Almost 8,000 military men were returned to the army headquarter in the 32 Mexican states for the protection of the people, and he just kept a small group of people that oversees his security; half civilians, half military.

He has created legislation and social programs to help the poor people, despite the critics of the private companies that benefited so much from the Neoliberal economic model of the past 40 years.

The popularity of the President is very high, basically from the lower and middle class.
