Episode 97: Mexico's Elections -- What's Really at Stake?

  • Summary

  • On June 2, Medico is likely to elect the first female President in a North American country. In addition to electing a President, the elections will fill the 628 seats of the bicameral federal Congress, eight state governorships, the Mexico City mayorship, and more than 20,000 local offices.

    In this Episode, I consider the Mexican elections by looking at the two primary candidates for the presidency and their positions on key issues. I also look the violence in the lead up to the elections, and the role of the cartels in the electoral process. Finally, I address AMLO's role as the outgoing President, and what it says about Mexico's democracy, today and in the future.
