The politician was one of the contenders for the presidential candidacy of Morena, PT and PVEM and supported the now president-elect, Claudia Sheinbaum, in the face of claims and accusations from fellow candidate Marcelo Ebrard, future Secretary of the Economy.
“It is incorrect to say that commitments are being met and then do somersaults to avoid fulfilling them. (…) They say that it is up to Adán Augusto, but it is not true because I came third,” he said in June, after the coordination of the Senate was entrusted by Sheinbaum to Adán Augusto López, former Secretary of the Interior.
The president-elect then justified, in response to Fernández Noroña’s reproach, that he was a representative of an allied party, but not of Morena. “Remember that he also entered the survey for the PT,” said Sheinbaum.
Noroña will now join the ranks of the party founded by Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
