ALFREDO ESTRELLA / AFP

Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has visited the birthplace of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.

The Mexican leader says he is seeking peace and reconciliation after a US jury convicted the infamous drug trafficker earlier this week.

He told a crowd in Badiraguato, an area strongly associated with cartels, that people must not be “stigmatized.”

Obrador also announced a development plan for the town that includes a new highway and university.
