Mexico’s Galvez Goes on Offensive in Debate Seeking Comeback

Mexico’s opposition presidential candidate Xochitl Galvez ramped up the attacks against frontrunner Claudia Sheinbaum in the second presidential debate, in one of her last opportunities to increase voter support.

Galvez appeared more confident than in the first presidential debate, interrupting Sheinbaum with taunts such as shouting the word “lie” and showing signs that read “Claudia lies” as the ruling party candidate spoke, and even accusing her family members of being involved in alleged corruption schemes. Sheinbaum stopped smiling and asked her contender to present evidence on her allegations, or simply said: “No, no and no.”
