Hardly we can observe a real debate. Each candidate has already presented a long list of proposals, without giving any explanation about what and how to carry them out. They are just good intentions, and not commitments in case of reaching the government. But this first presidential debate is generating some expectations, derived from the attitude with which each candidate arrives at said event.
In fact, the presidential campaigns are boring. They started more than a month ago, and they still have not managed to awaken the interest of the citizens. Society is absent from the electoral process. Claudia Sheinbaum It has to be very cautious, be on the defensive, defend the actions of the current government, and take care of the President López Obrador. He will have to defend himself, but he will not be able to avoid giving a forceful response to the accusations made against him.
Xochitl Galvez will have to be aggressive and inquisitive. If he didn't, he would be digging his own political grave. You have to point out the public insecurity prevailing, the deficiencies of the government, denounce the multiple acts of corruptionand propose public policies convincing enough to attract the electorate. Xochitl has to take the iniciative throughout. It is forced by circumstances, and its possibility of electoral growth depends on that.
The candidate Jorge Alvarez Maynez He will be a stone guest. No matter how much he shouts, no one will listen to him. The most productive thing for him would be to take advantage of the scenario to get out of the presidential race by declining in favor of one of the other options. An interesting aspect is that in this debate the President AMLO. Obviously, it does not appear on the ballot, but it will become the center of the discussions that could arise between the two candidates.
Despite how bland the campaigns have been so far, the debate will undoubtedly break the inertia and work as an accelerator. Regardless of who wins the discussion, the candidates are going to enter a very different electoral dynamic. Every presidential debate is an extraordinary act of political communication, and increases the excitement of electoral campaigns.
The candidates will be forced to be better, they will better develop their proposals and they will have the opportunity to strengthen their political leadership.
The presidential debate will lead to a realignment of political forces and interest groups. From this event onwards, both candidates will experience the loaded or bandwagon effect with varying intensity. From now on, whoever accumulates the most alliances will be on the path to victory. Xóchitl will have a great opportunity to grow electorally.
But she will have to be more daring and precise in her proposals. He has many qualities for debate, but he must show greater ability to convince. It must be assumed that it has not yet achieved this objective.
