During the talk with journalists, the president shared that in 2012 he was about to no longer be a candidate for the Presidency and only remain as a party leader. For this, he had already prepared a letter as a farewell.
“And I was about to say: I will continue, but not as a leader, I will not be a candidate for anything again.”
“Do you keep the letter?” reporters asked him.
– “No, I don’t think so; it was a draft and I said they are going to have a party and I can still do something. I don’t feel irreplaceable, but I still can and, then, I didn’t read the letter in the Zócalo anymore and I decided to go ahead, and that’s it they know the recent history, but yes, I can’t take it anymore, I’m closing my cycle and I’m retiring”, highlighted the federal president.
