Who is Xochitl Galvez, the maverick opposition candidate seeking Mexico’s presidency?
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -A rags to riches story and a penchant for publicity propelled businesswoman Xochitl Galvez into the limelight as the main opposition candidate for Mexico’s presidency, campaigning on a promise to confront drug cartels and improve the economy. Galvez, 61, who trails ruling party candidate Claudia Sheinbaum in the polls ahead of Sunday’s vote, represents a coalition of opposition parties and vows to restore security to Mexico, where around 30,000 people are murdered every year and criminal groups wield far-reaching influence. Born in Tepatepec, in the central state of Hidalgo, Galvez has described how the poverty and violence that she and her mother suffered at the hands of her father, an alcoholic rural teacher, motivated her to push forward.
