Former PRI presidents Claudia Ruiz Massieu and Pedro Joaquín Coldwell, as well as the coordinator of the PRI senators, Miguel Ángel Osorio Chong, filed appeals before the Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judiciary against the reform of that party’s statutes. that allows the national leadership headed by Alejandro Moreno Cárdenas, alitoremain in office until 2024.
We cannot allow banana reforms to erode the institutional life of the party
Joaquín Coldwell said on his social networks, reporting that he challenged the changes to the PRI’s basic documents.
The three shared the dissatisfaction already expressed by other personalities, including former PRI presidents Dulce María Sauri and Beatriz Paredes, as well as other prominent militants of the tricolor like Guadalupe Gomez Maganda.
Separately, Senator Ruiz Massieu warned that the PRI should not submit to the manipulation of one person. “We are a plural party, which must reflect our values and democratic principles. I reject any decision contrary to this aspiration and I will resort to legal means to reverse this harmful practice.
The legislator, together with the coordinator of the bench, Miguel Ángel Osorio Chong, filed an appeal on Thursday night before the superior chamber of the TEPJF, to challenge the call issued on December 17, for which an extraordinary session was summoned to the National Political Council (CPN) for two days later, meeting in which the statutes of the Institutional Revolutionary were reformed.
Through his Twitter account, Osorio Chong showed the copy received from the TEPJF of that trial for the protection of his political-electoral rights, with which they intend to overthrow the CPN resolution by which the leader of the PRI, Alejandro Moreno Cárdenas, extends his mandate at the head of the party, until 2024.
A plural, democratic and open PRI is needed, as our country requires, we will not let one person, through their impositions and reforms, try to take over the party
he said on social media.
The challenge is against the call to the extraordinary session of the CPN, which took place on the 19th, which in the opinion of the two senators was full of irregularities in the procedure.
On the subject, Dulce María Sauri pointed out that the changes that were agreed upon were sent to her after one in the morning of the 19th, and the extraordinary session was at 6 in the afternoon, which made it impossible to review in detail the 16 modifications to the statutes and twenty more regulations of the tricolor.
