On Saturday the pre-campaigns of those who aspire to govern the states of Coahuila and Mexico began.
In the case of Coahuila, the pre-candidates are: for the Va Por México (PAN-PRI-PRD) alliance, the Secretary of Inclusion and Social Development of his state government and former municipal president of Saltillo Manolo Jiménez, 38 years ago; for Morena, the licensed senator and mining businessman Armando Guadiana, 76; for the PT, the former undersecretary of Security and Citizen Protection of the federal government and former deputy Ricardo Mejía Berdeja, 54 years old; and for the PVEM and the local Democratic Unity of Coahuila (UDC) party, its president and former deputy Lenin Pérez Rivera, 56.
The citizens who decide to go to vote on June 4 will have to choose between the PRI and the other three who, curiously, were active in the PRI and grew politically until they decided to leave it after some decision by the leadership of that party failed them. favored with some candidacy that they were looking for.
The case of Guadiana is unique. Today he rants against the PRI and the brothers Humberto and Rubén Moreira, who successively governed the state from 2005 to 2017, believing that people have already forgotten that he was a member of that party for 43 years, from 1969 to 2012, and that thanks to that party he was General Director of the Cadastre of the State of Coahuila from 1971 to 1973, during the administration of the PRI member Eulalio Gutiérrez, and local deputy from 1973 to 1976, thanks to the big finger he received from him. The political career of the mining businessman is limited to these two posts plus the senate position he now occupies, but in Coahuila it is said, commented and rumored that thanks to his ties to the PRI he made multimillion-dollar deals, like the ones he now apparently does for his relationship with brunette.
The PRI also gave Mejía Berdeja a good start in his political career. He joined the party in 1991 and in 1994 he was elected local deputy thanks to the support he received from Governor Rogelio Montemayor. Those who know about these matters assure that in 1997 he left the PRI because the finger of the leadership did not choose him for a candidacy for federal deputy or senator. In 1999 he joined the PRD, which he resigned in 2011 to go to MC, which made him a federal deputy and then a local deputy in Guerrero. Then, in 2018, he went to Morena and in the government of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador he was Undersecretary of Security and Citizen Protection until last Friday, the day he resigned from office and the party to join the PT, after the finger maximum of the 4 T did not give him the candidacy for the governorship.
There is not much information available about Lenin Pérez. His biography on Wikipedia only says that from 2003 to 2018 he was a member of the UDC, from 2018 to 2021 in the PAN and that in that last year he returned to the UDC. However, and he did not write this down, he was the municipal president of Acuña, for the PRI, from 2006 to 2009 and from 2014 to 2017.
A few days ago Guadiana shot himself in the foot when he said that “In Morena there is no room, first of all, traitors or people who do not keep their word or what they sign”, forgetting that he betrayed the PRI, as did Mejía and Pérez .
Apparently, the only one who has not betrayed the PRI or some other party is Manolo Jiménez.
