President Andrés Manuel López Obrador sent eight diplomatic appointments to the Senate for ratification, including former Sinaloa Governor Quirino Ordaz as ambassador to Spain; of the Oaxacan activist and social fighter Leopoldo de Gyves de la Cruz, to lead the representation of Mexico in Venezuela.

That legislative body received the proposal to appoint the writer and journalist Guillermo Zamora, correspondent in that country during the first years of the Sandinista revolution, as ambassador to Nicaragua.

The writer Laura Esquivel is appointed ambassador to Brazil and the former governor of the PRI in Campeche, Carlos Miguel Aysa González, in the Dominican Republic.

Career diplomats Víctor Hugo Morales Meléndez and Luis Manuel López Moreno are the proposals for the embassies in Trinidad and Tobago and Saint Lucia, respectively.

Also on the list is Marcos Moreno Báez, as consul general in Nogales, Arizona.

This package does not include 16 proposals that the President announced on January 22. Among them that of the ambassadors in Russia, Denmark, Korea, Romania, and Panama: Eduardo Villegas, Norma Pensado, Carlos Peñafiel, Amparo Anguiano and Jesusa Rodríguez, respectively.

The president of the Senate, Olga Sánchez Cordero, reported on social networks that the proposals will be turned over to the commissions for the corresponding legislative procedure. The PRI parliamentarians announced that they will vote against the appointments of the two former governors of their party whom they threatened to expel from the party. The vice-coordinator of the senators of the tricolor, Manuel Añorve, stated on social networks: completely against the appointment of Quirino Ordaz, former state president of Sinaloa.

He added: It is unfortunate to see that a former PRI governor emanating from the PRI, after handing over the government of Sinaloa to Morena, has to be accepting crumbs from the 4T to be covered.
