PAN and PRD maintain suspension of the Va por México alliance; PRI asks to avoid rupture

Although the PAN and the PRD keep their participation in the Va por México alliance suspended, the president of the PRI’s National Executive Committee, Alejandro Moreno, argued that “the challenge is to avoid rupture.”

The PRI member Moreno Cárdenas -to whom the leaders Marko Cortés (PAN) and Jesus Zambrano (PRD) said they no longer trust him for violating the constitutional moratorium and having supported the military reform– assured that “without arrogance and without leading roles, the PRI is aware of the need to share and compete in alliance with other political forces, in the understanding that there is, among the three parties, capacity, experience, understanding and vision to overcome any disagreement”.

Alejandro Moreno said that the Institutional Revolutionary Party (AT) respected that in the 2021 election the PAN decided not to go in alliance in the federal councils of the 15 districts of Guanajuato; the 5 from Querétaro and the 5 from Yucatán, under the argument that they did not need goes to Mexico.

He clarified that it is not about “demanding” decisions, because from the AT the politics, electoral strategy of each party is understood.

“It is about putting on the table elements that contribute to understanding that we have been tolerant. Neither from the leadership nor from the militancy has any campaign been promoted to revile the leadership of the PAN, nor the PRD, nor its militants, ”he asserted.

He considered that an electoral alliance with legislative coincidences does not have to put a “tombstone” on the agenda of each party.

“If we disagree on something, we must appeal to tolerance. The same one that has prevailed among the three political forces in the last two years”, he exposed.

He explained that the constitutional moratorium was to contain initiatives that would be sent from the party-government: electricity, the National Guard and electoral reform. He argued that in the first two, “the AT convincingly voted against.”

He reported that in the case of extending the presence of the Armed Forces to accompany the National Guard until 2028, it was a PRI proposal, as was voting against subordinating that body to a military command.

However, Alejandro Moreno promised that in the AT“we will defend the INE and the Electoral Court”, in reference to the initiative of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador in electoral matters.

Alejandro Moreno argued that the AT declined in Chihuahua in 2021 in favor of the PAN candidate for governor, because she was considered to be better positioned, and she won. But she, she added, “we did not receive the same treatment in Nuevo León, in that same election, even though the PRI-PRD candidate was much better positioned, and finished only 9 points behind first place. The PAN reserved its 18%, which left it in third place, she added.

He stressed that the creation of goes to Mexicobecause a government with a centralist vocation like the current one requires counterweights that contain any attempt to alter the constitutional order or modify the rules of democracy.

For this reason, Alejandro Moreno pointed out, “until today, the PRI has not facilitated, nor valued, nor transited, nor agreed, absolutely nothing that harms Va por México.”

PAN and PRD remain suspended

It should be noted that the national leader of the PRD, Jesús Zambrano Grijalva, affirmed that his PRI counterpart, Alejandro Moreno, ceased to be a valid interlocutor to negotiate electoral alliances or political agreements. He stated that the coalition goes to Mexico ceased to exist.

“The coalition goes to Mexico As we met her, let’s forget about her because the PRI was part of her as a national entity, and as long as Alito is in charge, it will not be possible for us to sit down with him; we won’t,” he said.

However, Jesús Zambrano said that he could not assure that there will be no PAN, PRI and PRD alliance for the elections in the State of Mexico and Coahuila, since he said that the state leaders are currently in dialogue.

For his part, Fernando Rodríguez Doval, secretary of Strategic Studies and Analysis of the National Executive Committee of the PAN, said that “it is evident that he (Alejandro Moreno), personally, has left much to be desired, he has betrayed his own word and his own firm, we know that he is not the institution he represents, because there are other sectors that do not share his views”.

For this reason, he said that his participation in the alliance will continue to be suspended. goes to Mexico. However, he expressed willingness to form a new block of contention in Congress with the tricolor and other opposition parties to stop the electoral reform promoted by the federal government.
