U.S. Elections: Mexican Pride and the Link to Sovereignty
The President highlighted the victories of Xavier Becerra in
California and Gina Hinojosa in Texas, citing their ties to Mexico and
Mexican-American participation in the elections. The result «reflects

INE: From the Pact for Mexico to Contract Duopoly
«What moral authority does Ugalde have to speak of democracy? None,»
Sheinbaum declared, in reference to the former president of the
National Electoral Institute (INE). She held him responsible for the
2006 electoral fraud and questioned why its former president Lorenzo
Córdova did not put a stop to the duopoly at the INE. She criticized
the 2014 reform, stemming from the Pact for Mexico, for concentrating
the appointment of state election council board members within the
INE. The President called on the Federal Superior Audit Department
(ASF) to investigate contracts dating back to before 2023 and to
clarify who had favored those companies for more than 20 years.
