Mexico to vote, Amlo superfavorito promises the revolution. With him, goodbye to the parties in power for 90 years

It is the day of elections in Mexico the largest in history, in which the most important offices will be renewed: President Governors of the States , Parliament and mayors of cities. And if the polls' forecasts will translate, even if only partially, in fact, the country will enter a new important phase of its national history that will cause the disruption of the system of traditional ruling parties during 90 years old . The condition is that the vote – to which 90 million Mexicans call – consecrates the center-left candidate of the Morena movement, Andrés López Obrador – Amlo for his followers -, winning elections presidential a challenge that he undertook for the third time since the defeats suffered in 2006 and in 2012 . It was an election campaign marked by violence : only in 2018 133 politicians and 50 of their families were killed. And also in the world of the media all and violences were numerous: Ana Cristina Ruelas director of the badociation 'Article 19 & # 39; recalled that among the 200 badaults, including six murders suffered by Mexican journalists in 2018, about 60 occurred during the election campaign. The last victim is José Guadalupe Chan Dzib specializes in crime, shot on Friday night in a bar in Felipe Carrillo Puerto city of the state of Quintana Roo .

With the slogan "La tercera es la vincida" Amlo promises, after precisely the failed attempts in 2006, for a handful of votes, and in 2012, transformations of the time in Mexico as those of the Revolution of 1910, to reverse the neoliberal trend defeat corruption, beat the fist with Donald Trump and rule for the most poor . A goal that López Obrador leading the coalition "Juntos haremos historia", which brings together his Morena and other radical left formations, but who does not disdain the support of Evangelical Party seems to have now at hand. From November last to today Oraculus the site that averages the various polls, gives the head of the former mayor of Mexico 64 years, with a distance of more than 20 points, in the last polls, on direct challengers, both on the line of continuity with the reformist turn of Enrique Peña Nieto . This is Ricardo Anaya a representative of the historic center-right party leading a coalition with a center-left formation Prd which is precisely the party with which Amlo he is the first candidate 12 years ago. And Josè Meade the Independent on which the Institutional Revolutionary Party – which, apart from a 12-year bracket, ran Mexico for 80 years – aimed at attempting to buy back a image, after the nth scandals for the corruption finish the six years of mandate to Peña Nieto with the popularity to historical lows.

The one that the winner of the presidential election will face is mainly the fight against crime and violence which is now a real humanitarian crisis. According to official figures, at least 250,547 people were killed in various Mexican states between 2006 and 2018, due to activities related mainly to drug trafficking and corruption of all kinds. An average of 80 people a day. And that is why it is not surprising that human rights groups have denounced the existence in Mexico of about 35,000 desaparecidos and 30,000 corpses which could not be identified. All this despite the fact that in 2006 the president Felipe Calderón had decided to militarize the public order by bringing down the army in the streets. But measures did not prevent the expansion of violence which today became creeping .
