MEXICO 2024: FIRST PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE.

Radio Bilingüe connected for two hours on Sunday, April 7, from 7 pm to 9 pm (Pacific Time), to broadcast live the First Presidential Debate of Mexico, which will hold the largest election in its history on June 2.

The three presidential candidates who debated were Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, from the party coalition “Sigamos Haciendo Historia” (“Let’s Keep Making History” Party); Xóchitl Gálvez Ruiz, from “Fuerza y Corazón por México” (“Strength and Heart for Mexico”); and Jorge Álvarez Maynez, from Movimiento Ciudadano (Citizen’s Movement). The candidates discussed their proposals in the first of three presidential debates in Mexico in 2024.

We will broadcast in Spanish the audio of the first and the two subsequent debates each corresponding Sunday, up until before the election. From its headquarters in Mexico City, the National Electoral Institute (INE) makes these debates available through its platform on YouTube.

For the first time in history, the Mexican presidential debates will be broadcast with simultaneous interpretation in Maya, Nahuatl, and Tsotsil, the most spoken national indigenous languages with the largest monolingual population in the country.

Furthermore, the INE announced that it will broadcast the debates with simultaneous interpretation in these three languages on its YouTube platform, as well as through its social networks and its website.
