People from poor neighborhoods are receiving free 24-inch televisions courtesy from the president Enrique Peña Nieto apparently to improve the digital area, but these is more known as vote buying as mid term elections are approaching in which they prove the performance of the president.

Violence again was present during elections times. This is a difficult period of time for the Mexicans because they have to choose a new governor or ruler. People try to do their best and try to believe in candidates proposals but not all they said, they made. Important political parties are going through a difficult time because people no longer believe on them and people want a change in Mexico, to become a better country. Main political parties are desperate and violence occur to make a change to vote for their candidates.

Violence was present in Mexico elections, especially in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon. The political party (PRI) that used to win every six years this year fail.

PRI (Partido Revolucionario) candidates were desperate and people said that they start buying votes and several attacks occurred around Mexico. I think the country have the right to vote for the best candidate no matter to which political party corresponds.

How can we trust?

I think citizens should be able to know whether their vote has a meaning for the government or not. And if suddenly they are told that the candidate who won was because everything was set up they are not gonna believe in democracy anymore, and the order will be lost.
