Previous mayor of Mexico City and frontrunner Claudia Sheinbaum appeared content with her polling lead in Mexico’s second national debate on Sunday ahead of the June 2 votes, despite the personal problems of ex-Senator Xóchitl Gálvez.
Jorge lvarez Máynez, a candidate for the Resident Movement group with single-digit voter turnout, grinned loudly and introduced himself as an alternative to the other two individuals, who he claimed represented “old politics.”
In the discussion, individuals responded to questions about health, education, problem, clarity, vulnerable groups and violence against women.
More than 20 points have been gained over the course of elections for Sheinbaum of the Morena group, which represents a alliance of opposition parties. If Sheinbaum or Gálvez wins, they would become the first female president in Mexico, a state with a reputation for sex- based assault and a “macho”, female- dominated culture.
Sheinbaum emphasized her link to the wildly acclaimed López Obrador and vowed to carry out his plans.
” We’re going to stay transforming Mexico”, Sheinbaum said.
However, Gálvez launched personal assaults against her rivals, including at Sheinbaum.
” Claudia, even if you deny it, you are also cold and heartless. I may call you the frost lady”, Gálvez said.
” Claudia, you’re not AMLO. You do n’t have his charisma”, she said, using the president’s nickname. Sheinbaum did not respond to several of Gálvez’s sharpest episodes.
Cites of López Obrador were remarkably few in the conversation even though the populist president, who is not available for reelection,  , looms large , in the future polls.
The prospects also discussed rising immigration rates to the United States, and they both agreed that people who travel through Mexico may be protected and respected. That contrasted with the protection- focused strategy pushed by the U. S. state.
Importantly, the candidates spoke much of Mexico’s soaring levels of violence and the kidnappings of native candidates, but a subsequent conversation is expected to focus on safety issues.
Sheinbaum recently mentioned the recent , attack of Mexico’s Embassy by Ecuadorian police , on Friday, cutting in at the beginning of the conversation to bless official staff for their courage.
