“If they are betting that there will be a smaller presence and these types of tactics, saying that it is so that there is more time for reflection. But if they think they are going to tire us out, that they are going to reduce our presence, that they are going to play games of attrition. they are betting him wrong and wasting his time”, interrupted the coordinator of the PAN deputies, Jorge Romero Herrera.
There will be no Judas in Va por México: PAN
PAN member Romero Herrera ruled out, in terms of Holy Week, that there is a “Judas” within the opposition groups who is going to betray and vote in favor of the reform.
But he also said that no companies have approached the Blue and Whites to press for a vote that, out of conviction, will be against.
As much as the vote coincides with “resurrection” Sunday, the presidential proposal will not have life “because what was never born cannot come back to life.”

But MC, the only bench that moves alone, warned that it will not incur in that type of “show” and “pantomime” of going to sleep in San Lázaro, according to the emecista deputy coordinator Mirza Flores Gómez.
It is likely, said coordinator Jorge Álvarez Máynez, that the session will be unnecessarily lengthened or postponed over and over again, in a strategy of attrition.
“Gunshots of Millions”
“The reform can be voted with two thirds of those present, so the risk that, once there is a quorum, if access to all the other (deputies) is obstructed, they can apply a trick to approve and be able to send the minutes to the Senate”, alerted the deputy Salvador Caro Cabrera, from MC.
The possibility that the reform is approved does not exist unless there are two issues: either that legislators are absent in an oversight or that there are “cannon shots,” he warned.
In any case, the votes that are given in the plenary session will have to do “with what the president said: gunshots like the ones Álvaro Obregón warned of in his time. We do not exclude that this is the stage in which they will be working” to buy votes from the opposition.
But if the conditions are not met “they will be postponing until the issue is diluted” and the responsibility for the defeat in the attempt to approve the reforms, the first of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador that is not endorsed.
Electric signatures behind cannon shots: Morena
For Morena, on the other hand, if there are “cannon shots”, these are expected from companies in the electricity sector to legislators so that they vote against the reform.
Deputy Emmanuel Reyes Carmona, from Morena, warned “no governorship is put up for negotiation, we are going to win 6 out of 6.”
But “I would not doubt that the cannon shots are directed at the opposition bloc, today he realized how a lobbyist was inside the plenary session,” he said, recalling the case of Paolo Salerno, close to the Enel Group energy firm and who in the session of united ruling commissions appeared seated in a seat, next to a PRD deputy.

“They are desperate and moving, we do not rule out even reaching deputies of the Together We Make History Coalition (of Morena, PT and PVEM) but yesterday we closed ranks, we brought our safe numbers,” assured the brunette.
He even warned that “surprises are not ruled out during the vote” of opponents who do support the president’s proposal,
He mentioned among those possible cases that of the PRD Marcelino Castañeda, who last weekend participated together with the deputy coordinator of the Morena caucus, Aleida Alavez, in an “informative assembly” on the electricity reform, in Iztapalapa.
This PRD member left his backpack on Monday to return on Saturday and spend the night in San Lázaro.
