AND
The National Congress that held this Saturday and closed in the early hours of Sunday, it institutionalizes the power of state governors (a kind of National Conference of Governors: MorenaGo) and particularly that of Andrés Manuel López Obrador, physically absent but politically governing; the great implied victor, although no one would have even questioned it.
For this reason, Alfonso Durazo Montaño, from Sonora, remains as president of the National Council to which these state leaders will join, in the company of representatives of the contingents that they contributed to the district assemblies at the end of last July, which in turn constituted the bulk of the congressmen who approved the changes this weekend to the basic documents and the national directive reconfiguration.
Durazo, who has expressed special sympathy for the pre-candidate Sheinbaum, initially represents a kind of cautious internal counterweight to Mario Delgado, who will continue as president of the Morena national committee until October 2024, together with the general secretary Citlalli Hernández. The National Council of Morena, which was chaired by Bertha Luján, will now have more powers with Durazo, including that of participating in the processes of appointing candidates for popularly elected positions.
The continuity of the Delgado-Hernández duo implies the continuity of the excessively pragmatic style that has been used until now to open the door to candidacies of characters without real attachment to the postulates of that party but, in exchange, offerers of multifactorial financing to achieve triumphs. electoral ( they have been as they have been: well, this Saturday even Cuauhtémoc Blanco appeared at the party congress).
Delgado, of Ebrardista origin, and Citlalli, oriented towards the head of the capital government, will have to operate in this new Morena design the process of the presidential succession of 2024 and the nominations of candidates for federal deputies, senators and a good number of state governments .
The centralization of decisions was evident with the new powers of the president of Morena to impose on the holders of two key portfolios of the national committee, that of organization, where Alejandro Peña Villa, an operator of assistance registers who is a substitute for Senator Gabriel García, remained , who was the head of federal programs, and the ratification of Francisco Javier Cabiedes Uranga in finance, as Delgado’s man in money management, as he was with Delgado in the Chamber of Deputies. Other positions on the national committee were handed over to characters identified with the authorized presidential candidates, the ClaMarAda, with an indicative advantage over claudism.
Another important determination: the reiterated and confirmed method for candidacies is that of opinion polls, which guarantee a very wide room for maneuver for the processing of superior will when it comes to transcendent decisions. For now, in the applause competition, Claudia Sheinbaum won remarkably in the aforementioned National Congress, while Adán Augusto López Hernández received less massive support and was even booed out there. Marcelo Ebrard was not present, as he attended the funeral ceremonies of Elizabeth II.
The official remodeling of Morena, carried out without entering into the discussion of the deep problems of that party, has a judicial customs pending: the protest of a segment of the militancy that is grouped in the Morena National Convention, from where it was warned that the oft-mentioned congress and its results are null and void because the resolutions of hundreds of challenges presented before the National Commission of Honesty and Justice of the leading party, and the Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judicial Power, have not yet been issued, due to the sloppiness in the assemblies districts last July. See you tomorrow!
