This aligns with past statements by Roberto Madrazo, who in 2018 recounted Felipe Calderón's request to present electoral records, which he refused. Mexico's current president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, has repeatedly claimed that the 2006 election was fraudulent, a claim supported by his party's allegations of irregularities. Fox also mentioned an encounter with Morena candidate Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo at the airport.

The article discusses the significant increase in Cuban migrants at the Tapachula migratory facility in Mexico, with over 1,000 processed in a single week of October, a number that surpasses the 2015 monthly average for the entire country. This surge is attributed to fears among Cubans that the U.S. might revoke their unique migration privileges following the restoration of diplomatic relations between Havana and Washington. The Cuban Adjustment Act and the 'wet foot, dry foot' policy have historically provided Cubans with a path to U.S. residency, considering them political refugees. The article highlights the challenges faced by countries along the migration route, such as Honduras and Mexico, in dealing with the influx. It contrasts the situation of Cubans, who are often well-educated and travel in groups, with that of impoverished Central Americans fleeing violence. The article also touches on issues of corruption and human rights violations, with Cubans filing complaints against Mexican officials for demanding bribes.
