Breathe

With one month to go before the June 2 elections, the tally of various data has been very interesting and some of them have given a lot to talk about.
First of all, let's take up the historic arrival of the first woman president of the United Mexican States, after 200 years of national democracy. Dr. Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo rises to the highest seat in politics, backed by a total of 35,849,815 votes, representing 59.76% of electoral preference, while Xóchitl Gálvez, presidential candidate for Fuerza y Corazón por México, had 27.4517%. Jorge Álvarez Máynez barely reached 10.3213 percent.
Within the framework of that same June 2nd, I would like to highlight the fact that the candidate Xóchitl Gálvez made a brief telephone call to congratulate the virtual president, acknowledging that the results did not favor Gálvez; an initiative that cost her a strong reprimand from the national leader of the PAN, Marko Cortés, who was obviously not polite at all. In defense of Xóchitl's attitude, I recognize her courage and sensitivity, by virtue of the fact that the call she made to her adversary was in her capacity as candidate, not on behalf of the coalition, stating in later interviews that "in a democracy you win and you lose and we have to learn to lose".
