Next Sunday, June 2, two women will compete for the presidency of Mexico: Claudia Sheinbaum and Xótil Gálvez. If any of them wins, a historic change is on the horizon in the political scenario.

The electoral campaign has been marked by strong internal events. However, as the election date approaches, there is speculation about possible changes in Mexico in the event that Xóchitl Gálvez or Claudia Sheinbaum obtain the majority of votes.

Both are at the top of the polls, in a complex process, since Mexicans will also vote to elect 20,708 positions at both the federal and local levels.

Two candidates for one country

Claudia Sheinbaum is the former mayor of Mexico City, the country’s capital. She has maintained a double-digit lead in the polls for months. If she wins, she would continue the process of the current president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and is supported by the ruling party, Morena. “With a scientific background, Sheinbaum has had to walk a fine line to build his own image and emphasize his connection with the president, although he lacks the charisma with which his political ally attracted many.”

The other candidate is Xóchitl Gálvez, an opposition senator and technology entrepreneur, who represents a coalition of parties with little in common throughout history, except their recent opposition to López Obrador.

On October 22, the Presidential Summit on Migration will take place in Chiapas, Mexico, to which the leaders and foreign ministers of Venezuela, Ecuador, Colombia, El Salvador, Honduras, Belize, Guatemala, Haiti, Cuba, Costa Rica and Panama.

The confirmation of the event was made this Monday by the president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who indicated that the representatives of the 11 nations will discuss the delicate issue of migration in the region.

AMLO noted during his morning press conference: “I am inviting you to meet in Palenque, Chiapas. “I am inviting the presidents of Ecuador, Colombia, El Salvador, Honduras, the prime minister of Belize, Guatemala, Venezuela, Haiti, Cuba, Costa Rica and Panama.”

Currently, the issue of migration is on the table in countries such as Venezuela, the United States, Guatemala, Panama, among others, either because their own nationals are leaving the country or because it represents the escape route to other territories.

The flow of migrants through the Darien jungle towards the United States, or through Nicaragua and Panama, has generated concern in all governments involved.

“We are going to try, among ourselves, to [establish] a good neighborly agreement against poverty, for the well-being of our people so that we can address the problem of migration. What is happening with migrants hurts us a lot,” said the president of Mexico.

Migrants are victims of assaults, sexual assaults, robbery. They even die in accidents during transportation. This is a reality that will be analyzed at the summit on October 22 by the countries from which families leave every day in search of a better life.

La entrada Mexico will host a presidential summit on migration on October 22 apareció primero en Bitfinance.

The president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, has recently defended the right of all the peoples of Latin America to participate in the next Summit of the Americas, which will begin on June 6 in Los Angeles, United States. The president advocates a more inclusive policy towards all nations.

The summit is the key stage for the discussion of relevant issues for multilateral relations in the continent, the development and understanding of the peoples. Until now, the expectation is maintained regarding the fact of whether or not the United States will invite the nations until now excluded, such as Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua. According to various media outlets, Joe Biden would be evaluating the situation and in a few hours he would announce whether he will maintain the exclusion of these three countries.

A diverse and inclusive America

As will be recalled, the United States announced on May 2 that Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua would not be invited to the Summit of the Americas because they are countries that disrespect democracy.

López Obrador declared that he would not attend the American event if the host does not invite these countries that are also part of the American continent. This position was supported by Bolivia and the countries that make up the Caribbean Community (Caricom).

The president of Mexico has indicated that the appointment could facilitate the beginning of a policy between the American countries where diversity and inclusion are part of this new strategy. “I have confidence in President Joe Biden, I think he could take this step and put back all that anachronistic, unfair, subordinate policy, disrespectful of independence, of the sovereignty of peoples.”

La entrada Mexico asks the US for greater openness to Latin America apareció primero en Bitfinance.

Mexican deputy Indira Kempis Martínez urged the legislative and executive branches of her country to hold a high-level discussion on Bitcoin and blockchain, where important figures and authorities participate, including the president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

This was expressed by the representative of the Citizen Movement party during her participation in the Talent Land Digital 2021. The senator explained: “It is known that the evolution of the Internet is represented by cryptocurrencies and the blockchain, but we (in Mexico) have not even gone through that debate that must reach the Mexican legislature or the executive branch to know exactly what we can do.”

Payment of services with crypto

For the senator, the adoption potential of Bitcoin and the blockchain would allow stimulating financial inclusion, in addition to reducing the social inequality that exists in Mexico, but it is essential that the State take on “new challenges.”

She urged Latin American governments to “include cryptocurrency companies in public policies and to promote legislation such as the Mexican Fintech Law,” since it is  the first country in Lanita America to have a law of this type.

Indira Kempis suggested that the Mexican authorities create and implement pilot programs to integrate cryptocurrencies in the payments of public services such as taxes, fines and payments to treasuries in the states of the country. She applauded El Salvador’s decision to assume Bitcoin as legal tender and expressed her wish for Mexico to follow suit.

Emilio Saldaña, who also participated in the event, said: “The world is a laboratory on new financial technologies. 86 % of central banks are evaluating how their national currencies interact with Bitcoin. It would be very interesting to see Mexico set an example.”
