The Indigenous Issue in the 2018 Electoral Process and in the Beginning of the 4T Debates, Challenges and Perspectives

Abstract

Throughout the electoral campaign that Mexico lived in the first half of 2018, differ- ent expressions of the indigenous movement raised various positions regarding the expectations that a possible regime change generated. For their part, the presidential candidates and the political forces that participated in the electoral contest for political power presented different proposals related to indigenous peoples and their rights in the public arena. The article presents some of the axes of the public debate that took place throughout the campaign and post-campaign periods, as well as the expressions and positions of various actors, particularly indigenous organizations, against the proposal that prevailed in the elections.
