A recent opinion poll by Parametria shows that Claudia Sheinbaum, the candidate of Mexico's ruling National Regeneration Movement (MORENA) party, maintains a significant lead in the race for the country's presidential election in June 2024.

The poll also reveals that Samuel Garcia of the opposition center-left Citizens' Movement (MC) has 10% support. Sheinbaum's lead has slightly decreased from a previous survey, but she still enjoys a substantial advantage. If elected, Sheinbaum or Galvez would become Mexico's first female president.

"Mexico's Opposition Coalition Nominates Sen. Xóchitl Gálvez as Presidential Candidate for 2024"

Mexico's broad opposition coalition, known as the Broad Front for Mexico, has announced Senator Xóchitl Gálvez as its candidate for the 2024 presidential elections. This suggests that Mexico's next president will likely be a woman, as former Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum leads most polls for President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's Morena party. Gálvez, a tech entrepreneur and senator, caucuses with the conservative National Action Party but is not a member. However, she faces challenges from López Obrador's popularity and his willingness to campaign against her, as well as obstacles within her own coalition.

Xochitl Galvez: Opposition's Female Candidate for Mexico Presidency

Xochitl Galvez, a maverick Mexican senator, has secured the main opposition candidacy for Mexico's 2024 presidential election after receiving the endorsement of a key party. Galvez's victory brings Mexico closer to the possibility of having its first female president. She is seen as the strongest contender to challenge President AMLO's left-wing National Regeneration Movement (MORENA). However, the way the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) abandoned its own candidate in favor of Galvez has raised concerns about the credibility of the opposition alliance's selection process.

"Mexico President Questions Double Standards in Gender Violence Perception"

Mexico's President Andrés Manuel López Obrador questioned why he isn't considered a victim of gender violence when a woman criticizes him, despite strict political regulations in Mexico that forbid questioning someone's competence based on their gender. López Obrador had been ordered to stop suggesting that opposition presidential hopeful Xochitl Gálvez was a puppet manipulated by powerful men, which was deemed as "gender violence" by an electoral court. However, López Obrador and his feminist wife raised concerns about the fairness of the ruling, despite the fact that Gálvez had never criticized him based on his gender. Critics argue that López Obrador lacks an understanding of gender violence.

"Mexico's President Sparks Political Gold Rush with Aggressive Tactics"

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's relentless attacks on opposition contender Xóchitl Gálvez for the 2024 presidential election have backfired, boosting Gálvez's popularity and chances of winning. López Obrador's derogatory remarks and release of Gálvez's private financial information have drawn criticism from the federal election authority and accusations of damaging the democratic process. Gálvez's rise in the polls within the opposition coalition has shaken the race, which was previously seen as favoring López Obrador's party. Despite the rebuke, López Obrador continues to disregard electoral rulings, raising concerns about the erosion of democratic foundations in Mexico.

Mexican President Defies Electoral Agency, Persists in Attacking Opposition Candidate

Mexico's President Andrés Manuel López Obrador continues to attack opposition front-runner Xóchitl Gálvez for the 2024 presidential elections, despite a ruling by electoral authorities that he has been violating equity and neutrality rules. López Obrador likened Gálvez to a mafia leader and accused her of illegal activities, while she accused him of leaking confidential tax information about her businesses. The president claims that electoral authorities are trying to silence him and violate his freedom of expression. This behavior breaks the tradition of Mexican presidents staying out of the race to succeed them.
