Before the announcement of legislators and leaders of the opposition parties that anticipated a constitutional moratorium
in Congress to not approve the reforms in electoral matters and the National Guard, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador argued that if they are not going to legislate, they should not charge and ask for a license.
The president also referred to the meeting of Morenoites held over the weekend, and reiterated that he will “support” whoever the population chooses in a consultation for Morena’s candidacy for the 2024 elections, and offered respect for all applicants. If they met yesterday (Sunday), go ahead. And that is not limited to anyone
he indicated.
After the leaders of the PRI, PAN and PRD said that these parties will make a constitutional moratorium
the head of the federal Executive stressed that the one who is harmed is the people.
So, don’t go if you’re not going to legislate, don’t go to the Chamber of Deputies, don’t go to the Senate, just don’t get paid, ask for a license, because you’re declaring that you’re not going to approve anything, nothing that we are going to propose and it turns out that the Executive has the power to present reform initiatives
expressed in his daily press conference.
Meanwhile, on the meeting of morenistas held in Toluca, headed by the presidential candidates of the icing party, the President spoke again for ending the practice of covering up and fingering.
All that must disappear and I have said very clearly: I am not going to protest for anyone. Those who belong to our movement, to the party of which I am the founder, although now I have a license, they are all my friends, companions, I love them very much and I consider them capable. So, there will be on my part an attitude of respect for all of them, for all of them.
He insisted on his proposal to carry out one or several surveys, and whoever wins, that’s the one I’m going to support, a partner or a partner, that’s the one I’m going to support. And without quitting my job, I’m not going to campaign, it’s just saying: I support this comrade, this comrade, because it was the decision of the people, of the people, because it wasn’t a big deal
.
At the conference, a reporter mentioned that Senator Ricardo Monreal was not invited, after which he urged that all interested parties be summoned.
During the morning, the Head of Government Claudia Sheinbaum, Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard and Secretary of the Interior Adán Augusto López Hernández attended the National Palace at different times.
So did the head of the National Customs Agency of Mexico, Horacio Durarte, who when questioned about his interest in seeking the Morenoist candidacy for the governorship of the state of Mexico next year, said that he will wait for the call to decide.
