The presidential standard bearer of Fuerza y Corazón por México (PRI, PAN and PRD), Xóchitl Gálvez criticized the INE for excluding almost 40 thousand people from the voting list. Despite the institute’s clarifications, the candidate considered that the excluded voters did “meet the requirements to be able to vote and now they are notified that they were not registered.”
Gálvez Ruiz urgently demanded a detailed report with the truth and propose solutions to guarantee the right to vote for Mexicans living abroad; “It is a lack of respect for the participation in the electoral process of our migrant brothers,” he said.
