Former Mexican President Felipe Calderonestimated an attendance of half a million people in the march that took place this morning in Mexico City, in defense of the National Electoral Institute (INE) and once morest the electoral reform proposed by the current president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
In a tweet, Calderón took up the calculation of a former director of Cisen, a state intelligence center, to say that being conservatives, there would be just over half a million people in the streets, once morest the policies of López Obrador:
“That plus some 40 cities in the country. Ah! Marti Batres said it was “10 or 12,000 people.” That’s how they have to count vaccines, medicines, envelopes…” Calderón ironized.
See the calculation of @gvaldescas: 640,000 people; if they want the conservative, 20% less: > half a million. That plus some 40 cities in the country. Oh! Marti Batres said it was “10 or 12,000 people.” This is how vaccines, medicines, envelopes have to count…#IDefendDemocracy https://t.co/qnTITKPTw1

In the followingnoon, the Secretary of Government of Mexico City, Martí Batres, announced that the local government estimated the number of attendees at around 12,000 people, a fact that was criticized by members of the opposition.
The march, likewise and according to some organizers, brought together some 200,000 people, started from the Glorieta del Ángel de la Independencia, on Paseo de la Reforma until it reached the Monument to the Revolution, where José Woldenberg, the founding director of the then IFE, he was the only speaker.
Guillermo Valdés Castellanos directed the Cisen precisely with Calderón; he has written regarding drug trafficking in Mexico and has been linked to polling houses.
