A political group sparks controversy by calling to vote for Xóchitl Gálvez and Pablo Lemus, the candidate for governor of Movimiento Ciudadano. Other groups respond with billboards in favor of Lemus and Claudia Sheinbaum.
“The objective is for Morena not to win,” says Salvador Cosío Gaona, the main promoter. The effort has not been without controversy, between crossed accusations of a “dirty war” and a sea of speculation about political motivations. The appearance of two different campaigns promoting voting for the Lemus-Gálzez formula is promoted as ‘the true useful vote’ and whose authorship remains a mystery, has caused discomfort on all political fronts. The PRI is not comfortable with these movements that rule out its presidential candidate, Jorge Álvarez Máynez, third and far away in the polls. The still governor, Enrique Alfaro, has been very harsh with his candidacy and even floated the idea of joining the opposition.
