Rudeness to the Senate
The snub went to the Morena coordinator, Ricardo Monreal, pointed out senators Cristóbal Arias, César Cravioto and José Antonio Álvarez Lima.
The rudeness went to the Senate, accused Eli Cervantes, Cecilia Margarita Sánchez, Lucía Trasviña, Armando Guadiana.
But in a particular way, senators Cristóbal Arias, Nestora Salgado and Antonia Cárdenas emphasized that, being the number one problem of insecurity in the country, it is not justified that those responsible for this area have decided not to go before the senators.
“I am scared of what we are sending as a message to the people on the issue of security, if they don’t care, we do,” Salgado said, recounting how families suffer and “violence is killing us”, while the head of Security failed in her responsibility by not appearing before the senators.
“Legitimate aspirations have been misplaced with the need to remain loyal to the president’s policy,” said Álvarez Lima, who even slipped that surely the absence of officials was an order.
That was a “snub that is surely not voluntary… (but) we must ask ourselves why that distance,” he justified.
This is because in the morning session, and in the absence of the Secretary of the Interior, Álvarez Lima hoped that this had not been a sign of distance between the Morenista caucus and the president.
He also criticized that there is already talk in the media of two blocks in Morena “a group of radicals and hard-liners on the one hand and I would like to suppose that there is another group of superficial and soft-spoken, which is the opposite of the radicals and the hard-liners, I frankly do not believe in this division.
The plan was completed by Senator César Cravioto.
“It is not a snub (to Monreal) but it is a political message,” said a senator close to Sheinbaum, since “the message (from the coordinator) has not been one of support for President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.”

Before the announcement that the president will send changes to the National Guard, the coordinator (Monreal) says that this is not the way, and gives messages in the opposite direction, so “we do not expect that from there to here there will be all the considerations” warned the brunette.
“I am here to support everything that the President of the Republic sends, everything and if someone thinks differently, the opposition is for that,” Cravioto continued, even questioning the president of the board of directors, Olga Sánchez Cordero, because in his legislative report there was neither a mention of President López Obrador “nor a photograph” of him.
For Guadiana everything was a “profanity to the legislature, they are trampling on us.”
“It cannot be that they send the undersecretary (Ricardo Mejia) after a while they are going to send a director or a deputy director they are trampling on the entire Senate,” he considered.
