¿Quién será el próximo presidente?

Presidential candidates Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, Gabriel Quadri, Enrique Pena Nieto and Josefina Vazquez Mota.

Debate dos semanas antes de las votaciones:

Both Pena Nieto and Lopez Obrador talked about the need to fight poverty, stimulate economic growth and recover Mexico’s leading role in Latin America.

“There is a need for a new course that will translate into better living conditions for Mexicans,” said the telegenic 45-year-old Pena Nieto, who now has a commanding lead with 43.6 per cent support in polls to Lopez Obrador’s 29.2 per cent.

Meanwhile, Lopez Obrador urged his compatriots “to vote without fear for
change.”

Josefina Vazquez Mota accused front-runner Enrique Pena Nieto of using public funds to create a spying agency and of hiding in the bathroom from students who heckled him in a May campaign appearance that sparked a protest movement, including a demonstration that drew 90,000 people to the streets of Mexico City hours before the debate.
