Ni venganza ni perdón

2026 book by Julio Scherer Ibarra and Jorge Fernández Menéndez

Summary

Ni venganza ni perdón: Una amistad al filo del poder (lit. 'Neither Revenge nor Forgiveness: A Friendship at the Edge of Power') is a 2026 non-fiction book written by the writer and lawyer Julio Scherer Ibarra in collaboration with the journalist Jorge Fernández Menéndez, who also wrote the prologue. In the book, Scherer relates his almost thirty-year relationship with Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), who was an opposition leader for decades and later served as President of Mexico from 2018 to 2024. During his administration, Scherer became one of the most powerful persons in the country, as he served as Legal Counsel to the President from the beginning of AMLO's term until September 2021, when he resigned amid allegations of extortion and of creating an influence-peddling network.
