Palenque, Chis., President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo considered that the confrontation between the leaders of Morena in the Congress of the Union, deputy Ricardo Monreal Ávila and senator Adán Augusto López Hernández, is a minor matter
and called them to act with cold head
.
Interviewed upon her arrival at the Visitor Service Center of the archaeological zone of Palenque – which opened yesterday –, the president briefly referred to the dispute.
–Could the confrontation between Deputy Monreal and Senator Adán López have consequences on the initiatives (presented to Congress)? –he was asked.
-No. “There is no problem,” he assured.
It was pointed out to her that the president of the Senate Political Coordination Board alluded to acts of possible corruption during the time that his co-religionist in San Lázaro was at the head of that Chamber, to which the president noted: yes, well; If you have any issue, there are instances to report it. It must be investigated. It’s something minor
.
–Would you call for them to fix it? –it was insisted.
–Yes, yes. They are normal matters between them.
He commented that at the time he could speak with both leaders of the transformation movement in Congress. I wish you a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, a cool head.
.
–Will you call them to order?
–No, well I don’t know why.
The budget cut of 123 million pesos to what was requested by the Senate for 2025 caused a clash between both legislators.
Regarding the reduction in the required item, López Hernández revealed on Friday from the stands that they detected a couple of fraudulent contracts: two old businesses
for more than 150 million pesos that they have already rescinded and will allow them to compensate for the adjustment.
This immediately provoked a confrontation with Monreal, who responded to the infusions
of his coreligionist and rejected that there were irregularities in the contracts he authorized during the time he presided over the Senate.
Let AMLO rest
Questioned about whether, in the context of her visit to Palenque, she met with former president Andrés Manuel López Obrador – who lives in that city in retirement from public life – Sheinbaun denied having had a meeting with her predecessor.
No no. You have to let it rest; he is resting and we must respect him
he stressed.
