Latin American Insider analysis: The presidency of Mexico next year could actually be a contest
After six years in power of AMLO, Xóchitl will likely face another woman, Claudia Sheinbaum, former Head of Government of Mexico City. To confirm it is her, we have to wait until Sunday
Xóchitl Gálvez, a 60-year-old computer engineer of Otomi origin, an indigenous population of central Mexico, is officially the candidate of the Broad Front for Mexico, the opposition coalition that brings together three parties (the PRI, the PAN, and the PRD) that next year will seek to exit the "Fourth Transformation" of Andrés Manuel López Obrador, AMLO as everyone calls him. "Fourth Transformation," after the country's independence from Spain in 1821, the reforms to separate church and state in 1860, and the Mexican Revolution of 1910-17.
