Former Mexican President Vicente Fox

Former Mexican President Vicente Fox reiterated his public invitation to vote for the “Committed to Mexico” presidential candidate Enrique Peña Nieto. He said that now is the time to end the ongoing electoral “war.”

In a press release, Fox urged the public to cast their vote this July 1. He said, “Currently there is a clear frontrunner, however, we need to support whoever wins the presidential election.”

Fox added, “We need to close ranks to ensure that the following administration is democratic and transparent … Democracy and freedom in our country affirms the fact that Mexicans can overcome all obstacles.”

The former president said, “The most valuable right that Mexicans have today is the right to vote. Freedom of expression gives us the opportunity to have our opinion heard and to defend our democratic society.”

Fox explained his statements by saying he was a committed, participatory citizen. He said that he is concerned about the future cohesion of Mexican politics.

“My political ideals remain intact. It would do me no good to deny my origins, to diminish my political soul and to ignore a political project that I trust ... I want social fragmentation to end. Whoever believes that being against everyone and everything is democratic is absolutely wrong. Democracy implies unity … it is free of judgment and revenge.”
