The Institutional Revolutionary and the Democratic Revolution parties carry bank debts derived from the electoral setbacks they have suffered in recent years. In the case of the tricolor, a loan with Banca Afirme stands out for 207.4 million pesos -acquired in 2021-, while the Aztec sun resorted a few months ago to bank debt for 50 million pesos and the sale of assets to get hold of more resources due to the decrease in its public financing.
After the electoral debacle that it suffered earlier this month in six states, the PRD will no longer receive local prerogatives in 18 entities. That is to say, in more than half of the country it has no record for not reaching 3 percent of the votes in state elections.

. The directors endorsed the sale of two properties in Mexico City, two in the state of Mexico, three in Sinaloa and one in Tlaxcala.
