The survey revolved around issues such as society and democracy in Mexico, the country's situation, as well as issues of juncture affairs, transparency and accountability; evaluation of public policies; Budget of the Federation and fiscal policy; Legislative agenda, and the profile of candidates.The study is innovative because it serves as a tool for informing citizens during the process of deciding who to vote for because they knew the positions and opinions of candidates for federal deputies.
