The Secretary of the Interior, Adán Augusto López Hernández, affirmed that the electoral reform goes and even considered that in December it could be approved in both chambers of Congress. When asked if the initiative of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador will be endorsed as it is, he expressed: Of course!

The official went to the Chamber of Deputies to celebrate in advanceas the Morena coordinator, Ignacio Mier, said, the approval of the Federation’s 2023 Expenditure Budget.

According to what he said, Mier invited him to eat a pipian and then they both went for a walk on the esplanade of the Chamber. There, at a press conference, he defended that the reform is supported by the majority of the population:

We must listen to the voice of the people. I do not bring the document, but Lorenzo Córdova is not the only one who received a marriage dowry. Luis Carlos Ugalde also when he was going to get married. Felipe Calderón was one of the witnesses of the wedding.

López Hernández commented that the minimum of an electoral reform would be the 11 points that the President presented in his morning conference, but there is no maximum.

-It is all or nothing? –She insisted.

-The electoral reform goes. We must listen to the voice of the people, 78 percent of Mexicans agree.

–Are they in dialogue with the PRI, as MC accuses?

Do you want to know if I’ve been? Of course. Well, yes, if this is a democratic regime and in democratic regimes, talks must be made with all the political forces.

In the tumult that formed on the esplanade, deputies gave the official a shirt of the Mexican soccer team, with his name and the number 65 of the current Legislature.

Amílcar Sandoval (Morena) took to the air the context of the anticipated presidential succession, and said: It’s number 24! López Hernández followed the political game: I see 2024, what number do you see? I have the 24 shirt underneath, if I show it right now, Lorenzo will expel me!

The head of the Interior stated that he has continued in talks with Mier to find out the progress of the discussion on the electoral reform, but he clarified that specifically, the person who knows where the dialogue is is the Morena coordinator. I’m just accompanying fauna.

On the other hand, he defined a matter between individuals, even if they are politiciansthe dispute between the governor of Campeche, Layda Sansores, and the coordinator of the Morena senators, Ricardo Monreal. Let them go to the justice of the peace, if not, to the courts. He indicated that he respects both and recalled that he coordinated campaigns for Sansores, but also cited that Monreal is his friend and acknowledges his support when he was a candidate for mayor of Villahermosa, when no one believed in him.
