Mexico is currently grappling with a severe water crisis, which has become a central issue in the ongoing presidential election. Candidate Xochitl Galvez is making significant strides, focusing her campaign on issues that directly impact Mexican families, such as health, education, daycare, public safety, and transnational migration. However, the water crisis in Northern Mexico remains a key issue that she aims to address.
Mexico City, in particular, is facing a dire situation. The city requires an investment of MX$70 billion to improve water sources, ensure quality, and overhaul distribution networks. With 40% of potable water lost due to leaks, and the city receiving 29.6% less rain nationwide than in an average year, water scarcity is a pressing issue. Residents are being forced to ration water and go to extreme lengths to conserve it.
In the midst of this, Galvez is set to visit Juarez, Chihuahua City, and the regional ranching and agricultural bastion of Camargo. Despite trailing in the polls to Claudia Sheinbaum, the ruling party coalition standard-bearer, Galvez’s supporters believe that her performance in the recent debate and her relentless campaign have instilled a sense of optimism. They see her as the leader who can navigate Mexico through these challenging times.
With less than two months to go before the election, the momentum is building. The race is far from over, and the possibility of electing Mexico’s first female president is becoming increasingly tangible. As Galvez prepares to visit key cities, her message of hope and change is expected to resonate even more strongly with the Mexican people.
In the face of adversity and challenges, Mexico stands united, ready to embrace change and work towards a better future. The upcoming election is not just about choosing a new leader; it’s about choosing a new path for Mexico. A path that leads to resolution of the water crisis, improved public services, and a brighter future for all Mexicans. Regardless of the election’s outcome, the spirit of resilience and hope embodied in this campaign will continue to inspire Mexico for years to come.
