Mexican Political System Faces Growing Public Distrust

  • 9 years ago
With Mexico immersed in violence, human rights, and corruption scandals, voters increasingly distrust the country's political system and parties and are skeptical in relation to the upcoming June 7 mid-term elections. Such sentiment is expected to translate into unprecedentedly high abstention rates. To channel such popular discontent, some social activists are involved in a campaign to remove President Enrique Peña Nieto from office and others are calling for a boycott of the upcoming elections.
