A little over a month before the elections, the candidates for the Executive Branch continue with their activities ahead of the June 2 elections. Example of this was Jorge Álvarez Máynez, standard bearer of the Citizen Movement (MC) who was at the facilities of the Metropolitan Autonomous University (UAM) Xochimilco where it was said, he was not only booed by the students, but he was also physically attacked. What really happened?
Through the social network booed in disapproval.
“You got out of control my dad,” the video reads.
At the rally held at the university, the presence of a young man who was wearing a megaphone and who, by pushing, tried to get to where the candidate was to let him know that they did not feel represented by the emecist.
It should be noted that, throughout his political campaign, the candidate of Citizen movement He has been characterized by his visit to universities in order to win over new voters for this election day under the discourse of leaving the old politics behind and giving the new a chance, that is, the party that he champions.
When protesting against the presidential candidate, it is observed how the rest of the university students try to take the megaphone from the young man, which causes the emecista to be against it by defending freedom of expression.
“This is a very clear picture of what happened today at the UAM. The vast majority of students engaged in dialogue, questioned and wanted to listen and be heard. A minority tried to cancel the dialogue and harassed those who were asking questions. But freedom triumphed,” wrote the candidate for the Executive Branch.
Despite the position of the former campaign coordinator of Samuel García SepúlvedaAnother video allows us to see that the young protester finally did go up to the stage where the presidential candidate was; However, the university student between 23 and 26 years of age handed him the megaphone, hitting him on the chest, which caused more discontent among those present.
“I am not going to vote for Maynez, but he is still a candidate for the presidency of the country, and his security? What if he hadn’t been a megaphone? “Everything in this country has become violence and division, violence in the streets, violence in family circles, but the worst thing is that the climate of violence and division has been fueled from the highest position of the government”; “The same one who attacked other students. What a shame” or “Let them kick him out of the university,” were comments that the clip received.
At the moment, the candidate has not commented on this alleged aggression or the party he represents has not mentioned whether it will give him more security during his visit to the universities; However, he continues to be grateful for the affection he receives from this sector of the population that he has committed to supporting if he is the successor of Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO).
