The fifth of Morena’s 253 deputies organized their New Year’s Eve posada last night in a restaurant in the exclusive area of Pedregal de San Ángel, despite the fact that the coordinator of the bench, Ricardo Monreal Ávila, stated in a video that the celebration had been cancelled.
At 7 pm, a group of legislators, summoned by their vice coordinator, Gabriela Jiménez, arrived at the Bodega de Mar restaurant, located on De la Luz Boulevard, next to the parish of Santa Cruz del Pedregal, and as requested by the invitation, they brought gifts unisex
for the exchange, which took place after the toast.
Dressed in a Christmas hat, Irma Juan Carlos participated in the celebration, who arrived with a bottle of mezcal; José de Jesús Valdenebro; Sergio Mayer; Daniel Murguía; the migrant deputy, Aniceto Polanco; José Narro; the vice president of the Chamber, Dolores Padierna Luna, and the PT Karina Rojo Pimentel, among others.
Padierna received a gift in the exchange nor ordered to do: an hourglass
. He said that each deputy cooperated with a thousand pesos and that if the attendance was very small it was because there is a lot of fatigue; Nobody wanted to come anymore, and in the end Gaby, who is the driving force of the party, has us here with great joy. Monreal could not attend, I saw him very tired in the morning; We are here because we also need to give each other a hug. Not everything is work
.
Aniceto Polanco said as he left the restaurant: “It was just a dinner with friends, colleagues, with very good conversation; We gave each other a hug of friendship and affection. Everyone paid their own. I didn’t have dinner, because I had dinner at home; “I just had a glass of tequila.”
Initially, Morena’s posada was held in a restaurant in Polanco, but given the criticism that arose from the celebration, the deputies decided to change the location. In a video, to refer to the approval of the 2025 Federation Expenditure Budget, Monreal wanted to deny that his party organized an end-of-year party.
And also, by the way, I would like to point out that we are not scheduling any inn, party or celebration. We act very seriously, with a lot of responsibility. And what some media have pointed out is not true; At least none of my colleagues know about this call, and there won’t be one, I assure you.
. But there was, although in another place.
This newspaper has a copy of the invitation that was sent on Wednesday to all the members of the party via WhatsApp to their mobile phones, with the additional message of bringing a gift for an exchange that would be carried out with the method used by that party: tombola In an attached message they were asked bring a gift that is unisex, because we are going to have a raffle there at the event to see who gives a gift to whom
