The PRI has already tried to get the IFE to ban tortillerias from putting campaign slogans for Morena's presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador in wake of national polls showing him to be the front runner in the Mexican presidential election.
The election is this Sunday, July 1.
The following Monday, July 2, Mexico plays Brazil in the Round of 16 of the World Cup in Russia.
Who will win?
When he ran for president in 2006, AMLO received 31.59 percent of the vote leading a coalition of the PRD and two other parties. He lost by 0.58 percent amid allegations of widespread fraud by the other parties. AMLO refused to concede and the PDR staged a months-long takeover of Paseo de Reforma and El Zocalo.

He ran again in 2012 with the PRD and finished second again with 31.59 percent of the vote. He then founded the National Regeneration Movement (MORENA). He is running under the slogan Together We'll Make History" leading a coalition of left-wing and right-wing parties.
Among his proposals are increases in financial aid for students and the elderly, amnesty for some drug lords, universal access to public colleges, cancellation of the construction of the Mexico City Airport, a referendum on energy that ended Pemex's national monopoly, stimulation of the country's agricultural sector, delay of the renegotiations of NAFTA until after the elections, building of more oil refineries, increased spending for welfare, cutting of politicians' salaries to avoid debt spending or higher taxes, and decentralization of the executive cabinet by moving Secretaries from the capital to states.
Maybe his supporters will be munching on antojitos with tortillas as they watch El Tri take on Brazil. The icing on the tort besides an AMLO win could be Mexico defeating the Verde Amarela.
