“She’s my president” says Fox

MONTERREY – Former President Vicente Fox made amends with presidential candidate Josefina Vázquez Mota on Wednesday, kissing Vázquez Mota’s hand and saying “she’s my president.”

Fox had previously said that Vázquez Mota would most likely lose the July 1 presidential election. Both Fox and Vázquez Mota belong to the National Action Party (PAN).

“For me it is very encouraging,” said Vázquez Mota, at a forum held at the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education (ITESM). “It is a very important day, and I thank former President Vicente Fox for his support.”

The former president responded by saying, “Of course, my president, Vázquez Mota. You know that I am a Panista and I have convictions and make commitments, and one of my commitments is to be at your side in everything we can collaborate on.”

At the forum, a ITESM law student asked Vázquez Mota about the case of Juan Molinar Horcasitas.

Molinar Horcasitas is a member of Vázquez Mota’s campaign team and the former head of the Mexico Social Security Institute (IMSS). While he was head of the IMSS, a fire broke out at the ABC Hospital in Hermosillo, Sonora, and 49 infants perished.

Vázquez Mota responded by saying that Gustavo Madero, the president of the PAN, invited Molinar Horcasitas to work on her campaign, and that solid evidence implicating Molinar Horcasitas has not been presented.
