On Thursday, Eduardo Verástegui, a producer, actor, and pro-life advocate, commenced his campaign for the presidency of Mexico.
Verástegui is most renowned for his contributions to the 2006 pro-life film Bella and his recent blockbuster Sound of Freedom, which exposed the perils of human trafficking.
After a period of reflection, I have made the most significant decision of my life: I have recently registered my intention to run as an independent candidate for the presidency of the Mexican Republic in the elections scheduled for 2 June 2024. This information was made public on social media by Verástegui.
My struggle is for the preservation of life. My struggle is for the fundamental right to freedom. It is now necessary to remove those who have been in power for an extended period from their positions of authority. “The political system of our country requires a fundamental transformation to eradicate corruption and impunity.”
In a video dated 5 July, he stated that the National Action Party (PAN), which has traditionally been identified as a pro-life, pro-family conservative party, is no longer operational.
Verástegui went on to argue that the leadership of PAN had betrayed its membership by imposing a candidate who represented the complete antithesis of the values espoused by the majority of its followers.
In addition to PAN, the Frente Amplio por Mexico alliance comprises PAN’s principal rival, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), and the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD).
A ruling from the Mexican Supreme Court this week determined that preborn children can be legally killed in all 32 states.
The abortion laws of Mexico have an impact on the state of Texas.
Since the Texas Heartbeat Act afforded near-universal protection to preborn babies from abortion in 2021, and the state subsequently prohibited all elective abortions upon the reversal of Roe v. Wade last year, activists in Mexico have clandestinely transported abortion pills across the southern border.
Verástegui observed that, regrettably, the most dangerous place on the planet, where the majority of deaths occur, is the womb of the mother. If a politician is unable to defend the most vulnerable members of society, namely the unborn children in the womb of their mothers, who are at risk of being aborted, then it is difficult to ascertain the nature of their defence.
Daniel Miller is responsible for nearly all of National Right to Life News' political writing.
With the election of Donald Trump to the U.S. presidency, Daniel Miller developed a deep obsession with U.S. politics that has never let go of the political scientist. Whether it's the election of Joe Biden, the midterm elections in Congress, the abortion rights debate in the Supreme Court or the mudslinging in the primaries - Daniel Miller is happy to stay up late for you.
Daniel was born and raised in New York. After living in China, working for a news agency and another stint at a major news network, he now lives in Arizona with his two daughters.
