Claudia Sheinbaum Evade Debate Attacks, Predicts Xóchitl Gálvez
Xóchitl Gálvez, the opposition presidential candidate, predicts that Claudia Sheinbaum, the Morena candidate, will avoid addressing any of her criticisms during the upcoming presidential debate on Sunday, April 28.
Gálvez's Forecast
During her appearance on Thursday's 'Mañanera de la Verdad,' Gálvez stated that Sheinbaum would likely resort to evasive tactics and falsehoods throughout the debate.
Gálvez further accused Sheinbaum of lying during the first debate, particularly regarding her family's alleged ties to offshore accounts.
Unanswered Questions
Gálvez highlighted Sheinbaum's initial denial of the 'Panama Papers' allegations, followed by her subsequent admission that her mother had indeed held accounts in tax havens.
She also questioned Sheinbaum's claims of reducing feminicides and solving cases of gender-based violence, citing contradictory data.
Contrasting Visions
Gálvez emphasized that she would use the debate as an opportunity to present her own proposals and contrast them with Sheinbaum's Morena platform.
She stated that her campaign represented a distinct economic vision and that her arguments were well-founded.
Gálvez also criticized the moderation of the first debate, claiming that she was prevented from fully responding to Sheinbaum's accusations.

The second presidential debate will be held on April 28, followed by the general elections on June 2, which will determine the next president of Mexico.
