The coordinator of the PRI senators, Miguel Ángel Osorio Chong, demanded that President Andrés Manuel López Obrador cancel the consultation to revoke the mandate and channel the 3.2 billion pesos that it will cost to health and to strengthen the economy.
On behalf of the PRI caucus, the President can be considered ratified
and redirect those billions of pesos to priority issues”, Osorio Chong said at a conference in which he was accompanied by the majority of the members of his parliamentary group.
Senators from Morena announced a national tour to promote the revocation of the mandate and the electrical reform of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
The morenistas Napoleón Gómez Urrutia, César Cravioto, Antares Vázquez and José Narro, among others, pointed out that the action is in response to the call made by the Secretary of the Interior, Adán Augusto López, to carry out political work.
Meanwhile, the PRI coordinator, Osorio Chong, maintained that his group does not seek to create controversy or confrontation, but they consider that the use of resources should be prioritized, especially that the process of revoking the mandate has been promoted solely by Morena and her followers
, so it should be left out.
In this regard, Senator Beatriz Paredes stressed that “unfortunately the revocation of the mandate, which is a democratic achievement, the product of the struggle of social organizations for years, has been distorted by an ego issue and exacerbated personality
of President López Obrador.
Earlier, in another conference, César Cravioto from Moreno warned that fortunately the Supreme Court did not accept changes to the question on the revocation of the mandate, which had been agreed upon with the opposition.
They had promised not to prosecute the issue, he affirmed, but It is a lying opposition, which has no word
.
He added that the Court ruled that the political parties should not participate in the dissemination of the consultation, “but they leave us intact the possibility that the senators, who were the ones who made the law, can promote it.
His fellow bench member Antares Vázquez added that this question, which should have been agreed with the opposition, is confusing, but We managed to leave two answers, which allow people to know that one option is for López Obrador’s mandate to be revoked and the other is for him to continue in office.
