Mexico's upcoming presidential election is intensifying as candidates focus on security issues. Xóchitl Gálvez and Claudia Sheinbaum debate over the country's security crisis, with each accusing the other's party of ties to organized crime. Gálvez criticizes the government's 'hugs not bullets' strategy and vows to confront drug cartels head-on. Sheinbaum emphasizes her experience in enhancing public safety and proposes a plan emphasizing peace-building and justice to address the root causes of violence in Mexico. The election stakes are high, with the ruling Morena party aiming to move closer to President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's vision of a one-party state. Security experts warn that Mexico's organized crime problem has worsened significantly under López Obrador's presidency, posing a serious threat to the country's future.
