Wikipedia explains the meaning of the phrase used by AMLO (Andrés Manuel López Obrador), President of Mexico from 2018 to September 30, 2024, to define his policy against illegal drugs trade: “Abrazos, no balazos” is a Spanish-language anti-war slogan, commonly translated as “Hugs, not bullets” (though “balazo” is more literally “gunshot”), and often compared to the English “Make love, not war“. The slogan was initially associated with the Chicano counterculture of the 1960s, and figured prominently in the Mexican-American anti-war movement, as a slogan in opposition to United States involvement in the Vietnam War.^[1][2]
