Abstract
Mexican President Andrés Obrador’s speech on the occasion of the 85th anniversary of the expropriation of oil suggests the speaker’s oratorical maturity. The speech is multi-threaded, with a factual (historical) dominant, accompanied by an important persuasive emotive and evaluative component, which is the proof of the rhetorical balance of the speech. The content of the speech and the way it is delivered strengthen and tighten social bonds and unite the community around universal ideas and values such as freedom, honesty, equality and sovereignty. Despite many problems that contemporary Mexico is struggling with, expropriating oil carried out 85 years ago was skillfully used by President Obrador. The rightness of the leftist path leading to social justice was clear in the speech. The anniversary became an excellent opportunity to popularize the president’s planned and ongoing political activities.
