Democracy, Pluralism and Division of Powers

He pledged to listen to the population and defend the INE, ensuring that beneficiaries of government support should not be forced to vote for the government party.

Third Presidential Debate 2024
Evaluación del Debate
Xóchilt Gálvez stood out for her attacks on Claudia Sheinbaum, although her interventions lacked depth, she looked crestfallen and had a defeated body language.
Claudia Sheinbaum maintained her firm stance, focused on proposals and defense against attacks as in previous debates that, according to surveys, she has won.
Jorge Máynez was the most coherent and consistent in his responses and proposals, focusing on the topics of the debate, with coherence and consistency in each topic and without going out of context in order to attack his opponents.
From our perspective, Jorge Máynez and Claudia Sheinbaum were the best performers in this third debate, with Máynez as the winner, followed by Sheinbaum and, finally, Xóchilt Gálvez.
This PresiNews verdict is relative and reflects our position as citizens exercising our right to free opinion and does not seek to lean towards any movement, candidate or political party.
