Víctor Trujillo's harsh comment against Claudia Sheinbaum after support for Mandate Revocation

On April 10, the Mandate Revocation exercise was held to determine whether the population wanted Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) to continue as president of the Republic or not, which, despite the obstacles, developed normally.

Several politicians and supporters of the Fourth Transformation (Q4) began to publish photographs at the polls, with their fingers painted; as well as some notes about how the day was going on in places close to their location.

However, they also took advantage of social networks to recriminate to the National Electoral Institute (INE) the alleged violations of democracy it carried out in order to prevent the holding of this consultation.

“Long live democracy! #SomosMillonesConAMLO,” wrote the head of government of Mexico City, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, through her social networks, along with a text signed by governors and governors of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).

With this document they announced their support for the President of the Republic and it was the appropriate document to attack the INE. Although they stated their mistakes in the organization, they presumed that citizen participation was a success.

“Despite the fact that the INE did everything to prevent the participation of the people: such as the appointment of the date on the Sunday before Easter, the installation of a third of the squares regarding a constitutional election, its remoteness and poor location, the failure to previously inform the location of the same, as well as the changes at the last minute; despite all this, the people voted and ratified our president,” declared the capital's president.

For these statements, the communicator Víctor Trujillo, a strong opponent of Q4, decided to share the publication of the capital's president in order to make a harsh and acid comment against her for having questioned the role of the INE in this process.

Users of this social network applauded the concise words of the creator of the character Brozo and made other comments against AMLO, the alleged low participation, as well as a video that elections of the Popular Consultation that was used as fake news to ensure that polling officials filled the ballot boxes with unused ballots.

Hours after the formal closure of the polls took place, the National Electoral Institute (INE) reported that the consultation to which the president submitted had obtained, in a preliminary manner, the participation of 13 million 200 thousand 427 people.

Of these figures, 928,022 (7.03%) were for the revocation of the Tabasqueño mandate; 12,067,568 (91.42%) to continue; finally, 204,837 (1.55%) invalid votes.

Despite these data, which would exceed the expectations of many people, the opponents were not satisfied and decided to criticize the participation. Among the messages were those of influencer Chumel Torres, who throughout the day sent comments against the Revocation of Mandate.

In the first instance, he made a joke about the number of votes cast, assuring that the job of the person in charge of counting them will be very simple, since there would be only 29 ballots. “I wish you that your work tomorrow will be as simple as that of the bastard who has to count the 29 votes of the revocation of the mandate,” he wrote.

Later, he ironized about the number of Mexicans who decided not to exercise their right to vote. “8 out of 10 Mexicans decided not to participate in this nonsense. It's a good thing that 8 out of 10 Mexicans are Mexicans,” said the host of the program El Pulso de la República.
