Xóchitl Gálvez Ruiz revealed what the ‘divine signal’ was that confirmed to her that she should seek the Presidency of the Republic and not the head of government of Mexico City: a colorful butterfly.
In an interview with Yuridia Sierra, the PAN senator assured that no one imposed her as a candidate of the Broad Front for Mexico – as President Andrés Manuel López Obrador claims – and that she made the decision to seek the candidacy of the opposition alliance after visiting the hill where her umbilical cord was “buried.”
“I walked to the Sierrita hill in Hidalgo, in Tepatepec. I left at 5:30 in the morning and arrived at the place where I usually sit, and I was there looking around when suddenly a butterfly with many colors landed; I wanted to record it with my cell phone, but it flew away. I said, that’s the sign, and I started crying and crying and crying,” she recounted.
Platiqué con @YuririaSierra de todo lo bueno, malo y hasta chistoso que ha pasado estos últimos meses.

“The decision was not made by (Vicente) Fox, (Carlos) Salinas, Claudio X. González, or anyone else. I made the decision with that sign and by listening to my heart, and I made it out of love for this country,” she added.
According to Xóchitl Gálvez, she has made several decisions on that same hill:
- Moving from Tepatepec to Mexico City
- Accepting Vicente Fox’s invitation to join his cabinet
- Seeking the Presidency of the Republic
“I said, ‘Mom, I have to make a decision, whether to stay in Mexico City or to be a candidate for the Presidency,’ and I said, ‘you have to send me a sign if you want me to be the presidential candidate,'” she recalled.
Before seeking the coordination of the Broad Front for Mexico, Xóchitl Gálvez led the polls to become the candidate of the PAN-PRI-PRD… but for the head of government of Mexico City.
It wasn’t until AMLO denied her the right to reply to her position on social programs that her name began to be mentioned as a presidential candidate.
Two days after receiving that signal, she revealed her presidential aspirations.
