Sheinbaum vs. Romero
The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, referred to Jorge Romero, who was elected as national president of PAN, as head of the “real estate cartel.”
“The head of the real estate cartel is the president of the PAN, we knew him very well in Mexico City. It was probably not those below who revealed, even the businessmen themselves, as witnesses, revealed the modus operandi from that very corrupt group of the Benito Juárez mayor’s office, so today he is the representative of the National Action Party and is part of conservatism,” he assured.
In her morning conference this Monday, the president asked that a fragment of a book by former President Felipe Calderón be shown, who accuses Joge Romero of acts of corruption at the head of the Benito Juárez mayor’s office.
The president assured that the group that will lead the PAN is corrupt, so there will be no fundamental renewal in that party.
“The group that reaches the leadership of the PAN today is a group known by the PAN members themselves for these highly corrupt schemes that were born in this Benito Juárez mayor’s office, so say what renewal the National Action Party had, well, not much, ”, he commented.
As former head of government, she explained that her government identified the modus operandi of that group.
“There was an explosion in a building years ago due to a gas tank, so the Prosecutor’s Office has to carry out ex officio investigations, then they begin to carry out the investigations and begin to realize that the departments are under the same name, and from there it begins. to pull the thread and you start to realize that in another building too and in another building too and then you start to realize that they were also violating land uses,” he said.
He added that the inhabitants of the buildings that violated land use reported to the Prosecutor’s Office and the Secretariat of Urban Development and Housing that they could not register the building due to irregularities.
