01:21I agree with the preliminary results of the National Electoral Institute.
01:30The difference for the presidency of the Republic is more than 30 points.
01:38And it is important to make known that even considering the lowest rank
01:55that has been made known with these preliminary results,
02:00we have won the majority qualified in the House of Representatives
02:06and most likely also in the House of Senators.
02:11I also thank you because for the first time in 200 years of the Republic,
02:19I will become the first woman president of Mexico.
02:25I did not come alone, we all came,
02:29with our heroines who gave us our homeland,
02:33with our ancestors, our mothers, our daughters and our granddaughters.
02:40I congratulate all Mexicans that today, with their participation,
02:48we demonstrate that Mexico is a democratic country with peaceful elections.
02:56Be assured, we will be at the height of our history
03:02and at the height of the generous and great people of Mexico.
03:07Thank you very much. Long live Mexico!
