The soap opera actress ‘La querida de las mujeres’ is running for the presidency of Mexico

The famous Mexican soap opera actor Eduardo Verástegui has set his sights on the presidential seat.

Far-right Verástegui, who refers to former US President Donald Trump as “my friend”, wants to win by uniting the Mexican right in next year’s elections.

Speaking to Reuters, Verástegui, 49, said her main goal was to restore the right to abortion and argued that doctors who perform abortion surgeries should be jailed. Verástegui, who has no political experience but has a large fan base in the country with the films in which he stars, said: “We are a Catholic country governed by an anti-Catholic government.”

Verástegui stated that in addition to Trump, he also takes as examples the Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, and the Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orban.

Verástegui, who has also produced some films with right-wing ideology, needs to collect 1 million signatures before January to become a candidate for the elections. Some political experts believe that the famous actor can increase his support with his wealth.

In Meskika, which has been on the agenda lately with the immigration crisis at the US border and growing gang wars, the favorites in the elections are Claudia Sheinbaum, the candidate of the left, and Xochitl Gálvez, who has the support of the center. -good.
