In a brief victory address, Castro vowed to form a government of “reconciliation”, and to strengthen direct democracy with referendums — a tool that Mexico’s leftist President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has repeatedly employed. “We can’t stay home. This is our moment. This is the moment to kick out the dictatorship,” Castro said just after voting in the town of Catacamas, mobbed by reporters.
Central America is also a key transit point for drug trafficking, and where concerns have also grown over increasingly authoritarian governments.The vote prompted diplomatic jostling between Beijing and Washington after Castro said she will open diplomatic relations with China, de-emphasising ties with US-backed Taiwan.
Alexa Sanchez, a 22-year-old medical student, lounged on a bench just after voting while listening to music on her headphones and said she reluctantly voted for Castro.
bella mi presidenta 🥰
