FRIDAY, JUNE 1
PROGRAM # 8350 12:00 PM PT
Mexico Edition.
One month before the presidential elections, Andrés Manuel López Obrador continues to make gains in the opinion polls. With 52 percent of voters support, Obrador exceeds two to one PAN’s Ricardo Anaya, his closest opponent. In such a scenario, businessmen in the mining sector ask their employees not to vote for the leading candidate. For his part, the analyst Bernardo Barranco, points out that in the elections for governor of the state of Mexico, the vote is already being coerced. He informs that people are being pressured through social aid programs and that at the public meetings of Meade, his campaign gives away gift cards that can be exchanged for money if PRI wins the election. In the presentation of his book El Infierno Electoral, Barranco called attention to the religious profile of López Obrador’s public image. Martha Elena Ramírez hosts this broadcast, from the Voz Pública program, from Mexico City.
Guests: (audio segments) Bernardo Barranco Villafán, analyst on religious issues, host of the television program “Sacro y Profano,” broadcast on public TV’s Channel 11, coordinator of the book: El infierno electoral.
