“In defense of the free vote, we present our own and democratic citizen initiative for electoral reform, which is done after multiple citizen consultations and with the help of electoral experts,” declared the Mexican activist and businessman from a room with Mexican pink touches this Wednesday.
The initiative launched by the Pink Tide proposes to modify five irreducible articles 41, 54, 63, 116 and 134 of the political constitution of the United Mexican States so that there is a better democracy in Mexico.
“Mexico needs a fair arbitrator, since democracy demands an autonomous, professional INE with plural representation on its council and with sufficient resources to organize first-class elections,” said the son of businessman Claudio X. González Laporte.
The activist said that a level playing field is also required in electoral matters in Mexico, since it is necessary to protect the freedom of expression of citizens and candidates, as well as an equal distribution of money and television and radio time.

“The beneficiaries of the social programs promoted by Morena and its allies the PT and PVEM so that they are received universally, are not the property of any party or any candidate,” he expressed.
Another point to change in electoral life in Mexico is to punish early campaigns, as well as the interference of the president of the Republic in the elections, as has happened in the past, as well as the buying of votes, he considered.

“No more over-representation, since we have to banish the grassroots and over-representation in the Congress of the Union, which mock the will of the citizens and prevent the vote from really counting,” he expressed.
The Save Democracy initiative, he noted, seeks to preserve the autonomy of the National Electoral Institute, guarantee clean elections and avoid setbacks that could concentrate political power and violate respect for voting.
“President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo intends to put the finishing touches to a scheme where there will only be elections in which the result is determined in advance through an electoral reform,” said the Mexican activist and businessman, who surrounded himself with a group of young people to launch this new campaign, one more in his history.
