About the event

10 QUESTIONS: 2 minutes per candidates.

- Please explain to us what is your party about? (Claudia Sheinbaum - the ruling Morena party. Xóchitl Gálvez - the PAN party.)
- How would you describe the 6 years presidency of AMLO (2018-2014)?
- What do you see as the greatest attributes of your candidate?
- What do you see being the most crucial differences between the two top candidates?
- What do you see as the greatest threats to Mexico if the opposite candidate win on June 2nd?
- How do you think a Catholic and often described macho country like Mexico, hands up most likely electing a woman President, and possibly a Jewish President?
- Given the worsening water situation, what is your candidate's position to improve the water system and availability in Mexico? (Facts: Mexico is the #5 country to consume the most water in the world. 57% of Mexico’s population lacks access to a reliable water source, and 105 of the 653 aquifers in the country are being overexploited beyond their capacity to recharge.)
- Given the worsening violence situation, what is your candidate's position to improve Mexico's security? (Facts: AMLO’s presidential term has been the bloodiest in Mexico’s history. In 2022 in Mexico, with a population of 128 million people, there were 30,968 homicides committed. By comparison, in the U.S. with 332 million residents, 26,031 homicides took place in 2022).
- What is the importance and unique situation of GDL and Jalisco in this coming election?
- Where do you see Mexico's heading in the geo politics of the globe? (Fact: Mexico is considered the 15th largest economy in the world, leading exporter in Latin America.)
