Elections Results
During his first speech as a virtual winner of the
Presidential Elections, Enrique Peña Nieto celebrated the
professionalism, impartiality and strict compliance with
the law of the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE). He
stressed that on July 1st not a single person nor a Political
Party have won, but the democracy itself, all citizens and
Mexico.

Elections Results
Both the National Action Party
and the Progressive Movement
Coalition requested a recount
even before the official count
was completed.
The Electoral Federal Institute
proceeded to recount 78,409
electoral packages, equivalent to
45,049,356 votes.
Votes Recount
Lopez Obrador, from the Progressive Movement
Coalition, has not accepted the victory of
Enrique Peña Nieto from the PRI Party. His
delegate at IFE pointed out that the PRI party
made payments to buy voters: the evidence lies
in more than 500 complaints before the
Electoral Crimes Prosecution Authority
(FEPADE).

Elections Results
#I am 132 Movement
The social movement Yo Soy #132 was created by students from many
universities in Mexico as a response to the voiceless promises of all the candidates and
the specifically against the campaign of Enrique Peña Nieto.
The movement has had an active participation before the Elections and
managed to organize a debate among the candidates. Peña Nieto did not attend this
debate.
The movement aims to “awake” the people towards an actual change, to
reject a world where a few ones win and the majority loses, and to realize that the
oppressive structures are trembling because the change is near. After the elections, the
movement did reject the electoral official results.
An Additional Opponent: The Students
Elections Results
On July 7th a vast manifestation conformed by
students, unionized workers, civil and social
organizations and general population protested at
the Mexican Central Square (Zocalo) during the so-
called “Manifestation against Imposition”. In the
meantime, PRD’s President announced that his
Party will support Lopez Obrador as far as the law
allows it: possible mobilizations ahead.

Despite all protests and upcoming inquiries,
Enrique Peña Nieto defends its victory in the
past Elections and dismisses the fraud
accusations imposed to his Party, many of
them related to the distribution of coupons
as a way of buying voters.
He calls other parties for unity and
cooperation on behalf of Mexico’s new
political phase.
