CIENCIA POLÍTICA

 Debate and Surveys on succession Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero The campaign for the government of Mexico City is underway and the first debate between the candidates has taken place. Despite the unfortunate format in which the Chilango Dialogue took place, it has had the effect of showing the high competitiveness between the contenders. That is to say, despite the diffuse extension of the discursive protocol, there are precise moments where the exchange and controversy of the candidates draws the attention of citizens.
