Voters in Mexico to Face Choice of Continuity or Change Amid Violence | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Voters in Mexico headed to the polls this weekend are faced with the choice of continuity or change. The voting is taking place amid a backdrop of violence. Earlier this week, a man running for mayor was shot and killed just yards from his home. Now, there is an increased security presence but tensions are running high. Catholic clergy say they hope the country's new president will address the spike in gang-related violence. Front-runner Claudia Sheinbaum says she has met with Church leaders to discuss the bloodshed. News Director for Latin America for the Associated Press, Eduardo Castillo, joins to tell us more about some of the issues that are dominating the headlines in Mexico and whether cartel-related violence will be at the top of voters' minds. Castillo shares more about each of the 3 candidates running for president and whether it is unusual that 2 of them are women. He discusses what role an issue like abortion will play in the election. Castillo explains what he will be watching this weekend and how many people are expected to go to the polls and vote. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
