Yes ✅ or No ❌❓ Mexicans vote in a referendum championed by President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on whether to investigate five of the country's former leaders over alleged graft
A banner showing images of several Mexican former presidents, and calling for citizens to participate in a referendum on whether ex-presidents should be tried for their alleged crimes during their time in office, hangs from a wall in Mexico, City, August. 1, 2021. on whether to investigate and prosecute his predecessors for alleged corruption.
While the "yes" vote could win up to 90 percent, it would be difficult to achieve even 30 percent turnout, said Roy Campos, director of the polling company Mitofsky."It's about time these thieves pay!" the 52-year-old market vendor said. That annoyed Lopez Obrador, who has repeatedly criticised the poll body and accused it of endorsing "fraud" in the past.Mexico is ranked 124th out of 179 on Transparency International's world corruption perceptions index.
Former National Electoral Institute president Luis Carlos Ugalde argued that if the prosecution has evidence against the ex-presidents, it's not necessary for "the people to tell you yes or no."
