Xóchitl Gálvez anticipates a “tough and close” election: “It is not a picnic no matter how much they say it is pure formality”
Xóchitl Gálvez expects a “tough and close” election. He stated this this morning before going to vote at the Miguel Hidalgo mayor’s office, to the west of Mexico City. “It’s not a picnic, no matter how much they say it’s just a formality, there is a great participation,” declared the candidate of the opposition coalition Corazón y Fuerza por México. The standard bearer of the alliance made up of the National Action Party (PAN), Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) announced that she plans to join her campaign team around noon to monitor the progress of the working day. Gálvez cast her vote after two hours of waiting, amidst a high turnout that has been recorded in the capital.
“I’m not nervous,” Gálvez said in a brief previous message to the media. The opposition camp will be in the hotel zone of Polanco, a wealthy neighborhood in the capital. The candidate went to the polls placed at the El Chamizal Primary School with her daughter, Diana Vega. “God is with me,” she repeated, as in her closing campaign last Wednesday in Monterrey, the second most populated metropolitan area in the country, and in Tepatepec, her town in the State of Hidalgo. The candidate took advantage of the long lines at the polls to take several photographs with her followers. “Cheer up, that’s how the campaign went up and against everything,” she told reporters.
