Sheinbaum Rebuts PRI, PAN Criticism of Mexico's Judicial Power Election

Mexico City: Sheinbaum Defends Judicial Election Amidst Opposition Criticism Mexico City witnessed significant political discourse following the recent elections for the country's Judicial Power. Over 13 million citizens participated in the vote, a figure President Claudia Sheinbaum used to counter criticism from the PRI and PAN, who argued the election lacked legitimacy. "More people voted in this election than voted for your parties in the 2024 presidential elections," Sheinbaum stated, according to Milenio Televisión. She emphasized the high voter turnout as evidence of the process's democratic nature. However, the PRI and PAN maintained their concerns, citing low voter participation and irregularities. A spokesperson for the PAN stated, "The election is a sham; it lacks legitimacy and true participation." The video includes data showing the significant difference in voter numbers between the Judicial Power election and the 2024 presidential election results for the PRI and PAN. The contrasting viewpoints and election data highlight the ongoing political debate surrounding the legitimacy of the recent elections. The high participation rate, while celebrated by Sheinbaum, remains a point of contention for the opposition parties.
