Tens
of thousands of protesters marched in Mexico City on Saturday to
protest against Enrique Peña Nieto's apparent win in the country's
presidential election, accusing his party of buying votes and paying TV
networks for support.
Demonstrators were angered by allegations
that Peña Nieto's Institutional Revolutionary party (PRI) gave out
groceries, pre-paid gift cards and other goods to voters before the
national elections on 1 July.
Students, unionists and leftists in
Mexico City carried signs reading: "Peña, how much did it cost to
become president?" and "Mexico, you pawned your future for 500 pesos."
Officials estimated about 50,000 demonstrators gathered at the central Zocalo plaza.
"The
fraud was carried out before (the election), buying votes, tricking the
people," said Gabriel Petatan Garcia, a geography student who carried a
sign in Finnish. Protesters also carried signs in English, Japanese,
French, German and other languages to call the attention of the
international press.
"The PRI threatens many people and buys
others with a couple of tacos," said Manuel Ocegueda, a 43-year-old shop
worker at the rally.
Peña Nieto, a youthful 45-year-old married
to a soap star, won last Sunday's election by 6.6 percentage points,
according to the official count, bringing the PRI back to power after 12
years in opposition. The party had ruled Mexico for 71 consecutive
years, with what critics say was the help of corruption, patronage and
vote fraud.
PRI officials deny buying votes and say the elections were free and fair.
The
final count had Peña Nieto with 38.21% support, leftist Andrés Manuel
López Obrador of the Democratic Revolution party with 31.59%, and
Josefina Vazquez Mota of the conservative National Action party with
25.41%. The small New Alliance Party got 2.29%.
The final count
will be certified in September by the Federal Electoral Tribunal. The
tribunal has declined to overturn previously contested elections,
including a 2006 presidential vote that was far closer than last
Sunday's.
In the weeks before the latest polls a student-led
movement, Soy132, mobilised demonstrations and online protests against
his links to the media giant Televisa, saying that both manipulate
public opinion and state institutions in malign synergy.
A series
of articles in the Guardian added to the controversy by publishing
evidence that Televisa paved his path to the presidency by smearing
rivals and disguising pro-Peña Nieto propaganda as news. Televisa has
denied the allegations.
Accusations of vote-buying began
surfacing in June, but sharpened later when people rushed to grocery
stores on the outskirts of Mexico City to redeem pre-paid gift cards
worth about 100 pesos (£4.50). Many said they got the cards from PRI
supporters before the elections.
López Obrador said millions of voters had received either pre-paid cards, cash, groceries, construction materials or appliances.
Some
demonstrators covered the heads of statues with plastic shopping bags
from Soriana, the supermarket chain where the gift cards were
redeemable. "We have to come out in the streets to denounce that the PRI
bought votes, and there were people who sold them," said a 32-year-old
psychologist, Raquel Ruiz.
Some protesters said overturning the
election result would be difficult, while others thought there were
judicial means to prevent Peña Nieto from assuming the presidency.
López
Obrador said he would file a formal legal challenge to the vote count
in electoral courts based on the allegation that PRI vote-buying
influenced millions of votes.
Simply giving away such gifts is
not illegal under Mexican electoral law, as long as the expense is
reported to electoral authorities. Giving gifts to influence votes is a
crime, though it is not generally viewed as grounds for overturning an
election.
Leonardo Valdés, the president of the Federal Electoral
Institute, said he did not see any grounds for overturning the results
but that an investigation into the gift cards had been launched.
The
PRI spokesman, Eduardo Sánchez, said last week the gift-card event had
been "a theatrical representation" mounted by the left. He claimed
supporters of López Obrador took hundreds of people to the shops,
dressed them in PRI T-shirts, gave them gift cards, emptied shelves to
create an appearance of panic buying, and brought TV cameras in to give
the false impression that the PRI had given out the cards.
Cesar Yanez, the spokesman for López Obrador's campaign, denied the PRI accusations.
