FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Mr Monreal explained that an “investigation” by the leftist
coalition had so far found that 113,855 out of the 143,000 ballot boxes “had
inconsistencies.”
Lopez Obrador claims that the PRI, through its national party and governors,
spent millions of pesos buying votes. He also charged that the news media
heavily favoured the PRI and that the party shattered campaign spending
limits.
The PRI was synonymous with the Mexican
state as it governed for seven decades until 2000 using a mixture of
pervasive patronage, selective repression, rigged elections and widespread
bribery.
Lopez Obrador on Monday decried the results as “fraudulent,” but was
coy about whether he would call for protests like in 2006.
Officials with the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE), which organised the
vote, said Tuesday that the results of one-third of all polling stations
could be subject to review.
President Felipe Calderon from the right-wing National Action Party (PAN)
congratulated Pena Nieto in a phone call late Sunday. “If these results
are confirmed … Pena Nieto will be named president elect, and starting
December 1, will be the next president of the republic,” Calderon said.
Even though many people will ultimately accept Pena Nieto, there is plenty of
anger over the PRI’s return to power and about the widespread reports of PRI
gifts handed out to sway voters.
There is no run-off vote in Mexican presidential elections, meaning that about
62 per cent of the electorate did not vote for Pena Nieto.
Marches are likely to follow in the next days and will tap into that anger,
but it is unclear how long they will last, or how many people will follow
Lopez Obrador.
Students from the £Yosoy132 movement, which has scrupulously maintained its
independence, marched Tuesday in front of Televisa, which together with TV
Azteca form the country’s television broadcast duopoly.
The students are angry over the gushing coverage Pena Nieto received from
Televisa, and believe networks and the country’s big businesses conspired to
return the PRI to power.
Students and sympathisers also gathered Tuesday to protest in the Zocalo, the
main Mexico City square.
More than 25,000 protesters in a march organised by the £Yosoy132 movement
marched late Monday against what they also described as “fraud” in
Sunday’s vote.
More marches are planned for the next days.
In calling for a recount Lopez Obrador is “wasting his political capital,”
said Javier Oliva, a researcher at the Autonomous University of Mexico
(UNAM).
“He agreed to play under these rules, but when he loses he now wants to
leave the game,” Oliva said.
The recount call could lead to a split among the left, especially by those PRD
legislators who were elected in a vote their leader is now questioning.
