The head of the Mexican government's anti-discrimination agency quit after criticism by President Andres Lopez Manuel Obrador, who on Friday said he would likely appoint an indigenous person in her place.
Lopez Obrador chastised National Council for Preventing Discrimination chief Monica Maccise because it organized a "classism and
racism in Mexico" event on Wednesday and invited a comedian the president and his wife consider racist.
"I think that this event should not have been convened and those who do not share the transformation policy that is being carried out (by the government), in complete freedom can decide not to work for this government," Lopez Obrador said in his morning press conference on Friday.
