Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador says he was right to compare prominent political analyst Carlos Alazraki, who is Jewish, to the Nazi dictator.

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Thursday said he was right to compare a prominent Mexican Jewish figure to Adolf Hitler for his political mindset, shrugging off a protest from the country's Jewish community.

Lopez Obrador observed that he had longstanding differences with Alazraki but expressed respect for the Jewish community.

"I have very good friends in the Jewish community," he said.
