Mexican voters are on the brink of electing their first female president, marking a significant milestone in the country's political history. However, this groundbreaking moment has been marred by a surge of false and misogynistic online claims that are blurring the lines between fact and fiction.
The two leading candidates, both women, have been subjected to demeaning attacks regarding their appearance, credentials, and leadership capabilities. The favorite in the upcoming election, former Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum, has faced derogatory remarks about her Jewish background and debunked claims about her birthplace.
