Alvarez Menez: “From today on Mexico will know me”

Jorge Álvarez Menez, the presidential candidate of the Movimiento Ciudadano, has inaugurated his campaign in Lagos de Moreno, a city located in Altos de Jalisco, where violence has not stopped disturbing the population. Without going ahead in time, this Friday five bodies were found lying in a ravine. The orange candidate, who has accumulated 6% voting intention in the best surveys, admitted that very few people knew him in that city. “They never saw the billboard or the Menezes shirt, because they didn’t have to see it, the campaigns start today,” he said. “In 90 days I’m going to turn this presidential campaign around by being fair, playing straight. Starting today, Mexico is going to know me.”

Álvarez Ménez’s speech focused on praising Jalisco, which along with Nuevo León are the only states governed by the Orange Party. He has also highlighted the need to protect children, attacked his rivals and expressed regret that “old politics” has consumed public resources for the campaign.

“I take on the responsibility to establish peace in Mexico in six years, to end impunity, to end violence against girls, boys and women in this country. I take on this responsibility because someone asked me to be a candidate for president. “Not forced to become.” He launched surrounded by other candidates who will compete for positions at the federal and state levels. The event took place in the Zocalo of that city, which has a much smaller population than its rivals, where hundreds of people gathered with their flags and orange T-shirts.
