The opposition candidate, Xóchitl Gálvez Ruiz, initially stated that social programs would be maintained if her party won the elections. However, she later retracted this statement.
"Social programs are a priority for our political agenda and we are committed to ensuring their continuity to benefit those who need it most," Gálvez Ruiz declared at first.
However, later the candidate reversed her position, generating uncertainty among her supporters and criticism from other political sectors. Social programs tend to be a sensitive issue on the governmental agenda, as they directly impact the quality of life of the most vulnerable population.
