The opposition member candidacy as “the new” compared to the past faced by his two rivals.
These statements were made during the first stage of the presidential debate prior to the June 2, 2024 election, where Sheinbaum, who leads the polls, revised the proposals of the opposition Gálvez by stating that she proposes models of corruption through social programs.
“Claudia, when the protesters of the parents of children with cancer were outside the National Palace, you did absolutely nothing, you stayed silent and that is really regrettable. “That defines you as a cold and heartless woman,” Gálvez expressed in the debate.
Meanwhile, Álvarez Máynez accused Gálvez of having members linked to acts of alleged corruption, such as the president of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), Alejandro Moreno, or the former governor of the northern state of Sonora, Manlio Fabio Beltrones (1991-1997). .
While he insisted on being a “new and far from the old political class” candidacy with which he identified the candidates of the official parties National Regeneration Movement (Morena), Labor Party (PT) and Green Ecologist of Mexico (PVEM), as well as the opposition coalition between the PRI, National Action (PAN) and the Democratic Revolution (PRD).
Education and health
In the first two topics, the presidential candidates debated their proposals in education and health. Gálvez has committed to providing cards for the purchase of medicines and bringing the internet to students.
The official promised to continue with the creation of public universities in the country, promoting health prevention as a focal axis with house-to-house and school-by-school care.
Likewise, he committed to strengthening the new health system “IMSS (Mexican Institute of Social Security) Wellbeing” to serve the population without social security, among others.
Migrants at the southern border
The call to the polls on June 2 will be the largest in Mexican history, with more than 20,700 public positions at stake, including the presidency, the entire federal Congress and nine state governments.
The candidate, Xóchitl Gálvez, had already made the proposal to renegotiate with the United States the agreement so that migrants from Central and South America can stay in the country, in exchange for the Americans offering residences to Mexican migrants.
During the first debate, Gálvez assured that the migrant population can be an opportunity to take advantage of their productive capacity, instead of making this population visible as a problem.
