Mexico's newly inaugurated president has hit the ground running, with his pledge to govern as a common man and end decades of secrecy, heavy security and luxury enjoyed by past presidents.
Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador sported slightly ruffled hair at his first early morning news conference as president, which started at 7 am local time Monday.
Lopez Obrador took his first airplane flight as president Sunday, boarding a commercial flight with the rest of the passengers.
He promised to sell the presidential jet. Lopez Obrador arrived at Mexico City's National Palace in the same white compact car he used before taking office Saturday.
Lopez Obrador refused the military body guards used by past presidents.
