    Carta A La UE

    Uploaded by

    Marjorie Borgia
    The writer expresses astonishment that the EU congratulated the declared winner of Mexico's presidential election before final results were confirmed, given ongoing debates around electoral fraud and intimidation. While the EU supports human rights defenders and journalists, people defending free elections in Mexico currently face intimidation and censorship. The writer calls on the EU to condemn irregularities in Mexico's elections and push for new elections ensuring democratic rights and transparency.
