Two Female Candidates Show Realignment of Mexican Politics (Spanish)
Arturo Damm Arnal\u2014economics and philosophy professor at Panamerican University in Mexico\u2014explains how a coalition of three traditional parties will challenge Andr\xe9s Manuel L\xf3pez Obrador\u2019s Morena party. The National Action Party (PAN), the Democratic Revolution Party (PRD), and the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) have named X\xf3chitl G\xe1lvez, an indigenous woman, as their presidential candidate for the June 2024 election. Damm Arnal contends the main difference between G\xe1lvez and Morena candidate Claudia Sheinbaum is that G\xe1lvez understands and favors the role of business in the economy. \n\nFor Damm Arnal, although Sheinbaum started the electoral race as the clear favorite, it is still too early to predict the winner. The election's importance, though, is clear: the upcoming election will be fundamental to recovering the separation of powers in Mexico, which the incumbent administration has undermined.\n\nShow notes: https://impunityobserver.com/2023/09/25/two-female-candidates-show-realignment-of-mexican-politics/
