He added: “If we do not care for, protect, care for, nourish, feed (or) give the boys and girls the opportunity to play and be happy, then we will not have the citizens that our country needs.”
At the end, Sheinbaum launched his phrase, which he uses at rallies: “Girls can be whatever we want to be, we can be engineers, firefighters, police officers, we can be deputies, senators, scientists and presidents of the Republic.”

“The problem we have right now in the country is that, of every 10 pesos that belong to you (the children), we adults are keeping nine. We adults are keeping what could fix the parks where they play, the schools where they study, What could be that there were medicines when they get sick, that they had nutritious breakfasts in their schools, they are taking that money or we adults are keeping it and the first thing that needs to be done in the Presidency is to return itassign it, understand that the most important people in this country are you regardless of whether you vote or not,” he said from the Papalote Children’s Museum.
Before signing the commitment to Mexican children, the presidential candidate of Movimiento Ciudadano (MC) told the boys and girls in attendance that for him they are the most important citizens of the country, which is why he considers them his priority.
Accompanied by his wife and two children, Álvarez Máynez announced that in a few days he will launch a book in which he explains in detail how he will put national childhoods as one of the most important causes on his agenda, therefore, inspired by his son Luciano and his daughter Constanza, detailed proposals to benefit this sector.
“My two children are in early childhood and my children have been vaccinated. Luciano goes to a school where he plays, they have a mother who is an expert in nutrition and who feeds them very well and I want the same thing that I want for Luciano, for Constanzafor all the girls and all the boys of Mexico.
“(…) We are going to make it a reality. Yes, it is possible. Mexico is very big, we have many things to do, we are doing it where we can; in Nuevo León, the boy and girl are being put at the center, just as that in Jalisco and very soon will happen throughout the country,” he promised.
Álvarez Máynez thanked the boys and girls attending this meeting with presidential candidates for supporting him with his campaign, considering that their reproductions of the song “Presidente Máynez” serve as support for him.
“I thank them very much because there are many girls and boys singing the song, they are attentive to what we are doing and, when they ask me to record a video for the girls and boys, I always tell them not to worry too much about politics , their only task right now at this age and the rest of their lives is to be happy.”
Xóchitl Gálvez says that children’s stays will be a priority for his government
The presidential candidate of the PAN, PRI and PRD, Xóchitl Gálvez Ruiz, stated that she wants to be president to guarantee that girls and boys are happy and live without fear of insecurity and going out into the streets.
By signing the Pact for Early Childhood, the opposition alliance candidate committed to building a Mexico without violence. “As president I will take care of all the children. We are going to guarantee that all the towns in the country have what they need. Let there be no more violence. May we take to the streets in peace. Go out and play with our friends,” he said before hundreds of minors gathered at the Papalote Children’s Museum.
In his message, Gálvez Ruiz also committed to eradicating extreme poverty.
“Not only do I not want 40% of people to live in poverty, or for 40% of extreme poverty to be eliminated. I am committed as president to ending extreme poverty. This is going to be something additional to what has been put in place. I am committed, obviously, to all the points that are here, that have been put here. But perhaps for me the most important thing is that we do not get used to normalizing violence. May we fight and work so that no child suffers from violence,” she said.
She said that it is worth being president of the Republic so that girls and boys are well, “so that they are happy, so that they are not afraid to go out into the streets, so that no child in Mexico suffers because they do not have food. I believe that that is the most important thing I would like to do as president.
The opposition candidate guaranteed that if she wins the elections, all children will have their vaccines and the children’s centers closed by the current government will be reopened.
“Of course the children’s rooms are going to be a priority for me. We are going to return daycare centers, not only in urban areas, but also, and very importantly, in rural areas. Because origin is destiny. “Where we have to worry the most about early childhood is precisely in those marginalized areas,” he emphasized.
Xóchitl Gálvez highlighted that one of his new social programs that will be in the Constitution has to do with a food program. “The right to feed yourself, the right to have the minimum in your life, and We know that a child’s brain develops from birth and from the time it is in the womb.. That’s why we are going to take care of pregnant women,” she stressed.
With the signing of the Pact for Early Childhood, the opposition presidential candidate committed to working for the development, well-being and full fulfillment of the rights of early childhood, which seeks to benefit 12.4 million girls and boys from 0 to six years.
