1) Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, commonly known as AMLO, was the strongest contender in the 2006 election in Mexico. It was a transition time after a Right-Wing Party had been in power for 6 years. AMLO, like Bernie, was politically experienced and called out the establishment..
2) So that naturally made him a threat for the Mexican Political Establishment.
Election night in 2006 came and the results were extremely close (0.6% difference) between him and the right-wing candidate. The right-wing candidate won after a very shady election full of rigging
