FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) candidate held an evening press
conference Thursday reiterating his claim that the PRI sought to “buy”
votes by distributing 1.8 million gift cards worth “billions of pesos.”
He did not, however, call for mass protests in the same way as he did in 2006,
when he lost by less than one per cent, claimed fraud and organised
demonstrations that paralysed Mexico City for over a month.
The youthful Mr Pena Nieto, 45, an ex-governor of populous State of Mexico,
is married to glamorous soap opera star Angelica Rivera and benefited from
family connections with powerful old guard PRI politicos, as well as a savvy
media team that carefully stage-managed his appearances.
“All of this is documented,” Mr Lopez Obrador said, adding that his
leftist coalition filed complaints with election officials as early as
February. He pointed to “millions of bought votes.”
Pena Nieto’s PRI was synonymous with the Mexican state as it governed for
seven decades until 2000 using a mixture of patronage, repression, rigged
elections and bribery.
An anti-PRI “mega march” has been announced for Saturday in Mexico
City via online forums and fliers handed out in the street, but it was
unclear who is organising it.
PAN also filed a complaint over alleged PRI bank cash cards before the vote.
The PRI in turn filed complaints against both its rivals alleging gifts to
voters.
Mr Pena Nieto, who declared victory late Sunday, inherits a country beset by a
brutal drug war and an economy struggling to create jobs.
Mexico’s putative next president moved quickly to try to allay fears that the
corrupt practices of the once authoritarian PRI could make a comeback.
“We are a new generation. We are not returning to the past. My government
has its sights set on the future,” he told foreign reporters on Monday.
World leaders, including US President Barack Obama, have already congratulated
Pena Nieto on his apparent victory.
