This Sunday, at seven pm, Sinaloa time, there will be the second debate between the two presidential candidates and the presidential candidate. In most media and political analysis spaces there are opinions and positions about the two candidates, Claudia Sheinbaum from Morena, PT and PVEM, who leads the electoral preferences in all the surveys varying only the margin of difference, and Xóchitl Gálvez from PAN , PRI and PRD that appears in second place. The comments are in favor of the candidate in the first place due to her wide margin of difference, double digits in all the surveys. Others support the second-place candidate, highlighting the opportunity she has in this second debate to overcome the difference.
A fact that is little highlighted is a fundamental element: the reality of the Mexican democratic regime. On the one hand, the two candidates, the leaders of all the parties, and the political and social associations that support them have stated that they will participate in the second debate. Which shows that Mexico is in a democratic electoral process where presidential candidates seek to have the electoral preference of the majority of voters. On the other hand, there is total confidence in the electoral authority: the National Electoral Institute (INE), as the only one with the legitimacy to organize the second debate and both participate in that meeting.
These facts demonstrate that all the actors competing in the presidential election for the vote of the majority of citizens, on June 2, have confidence in the INE as the body of the Mexican State in charge of organizing the election and counting the votes of the Mexicans and Mexicans. So that on June 2, the preliminary results of the election are known: based on the exit polls, the quick counts and the INE Preliminary Results Program. That is to say, Mexico is a democracy where elections are defined by the majority of free and secret votes of citizens.
From the neighboring country to the north
This data must be highlighted and be the framework with which political and electoral analyzes are carried out in Mexico. To date there is not a single element or complaint from the presidential candidates that will invalidate the INE or its results. Without a doubt, each party will continue to file complaints with the General Council of the INE and the Electoral Tribunal of the Judicial Branch of the Federation (TRIFE). But there are, to date, no statements that question the role of the referee in the presidential election.
The neighboring country to the north, the United States of America (USA), has also not issued comments or complaints about the transparency and fairness in Mexico's presidential elections. That is to say, both internally and in bilateral relations with more economic, political and social weight in the international sphere, Mexico has and is respected as a democratic regime. Criticism and protests, especially in the institutional channels of political parties and social groups, of course there are and will continue to be. They can even be elements of electoral strategy through appeals before the INE and the TRIFE. But there is no lack of knowledge of the INE as the guarantor that on June 2 she will be the first president of Mexico, the candidate who obtains the greatest number of votes from Mexican men and women.
