Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard Casaubón assured yesterday that the appointment of Morena’s presidential candidate will not depend on how much personal closeness each of the applicants has with President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, but rather on what they propose. Therefore, he affirmed, he is working on his proposal.
If it is close, then the President has three siblings: a sister and two brothers. So the issue is not about closeness, it is about what you propose and what you are capable of doing
he asserted in a meeting with reporters.
Ebrard protested yesterday to the representatives who will promote his image in the 300 electoral districts of the country towards the internal poll of his party.
At the World Trade Center in Mexico City, he met with thousands of people in the forum What’s Next for Mexico: Continuity or Change, and announced that in January he will begin touring the national territory in search of support for his project.
He added that he will seek to take part in the appointment process from respect for the law, not using public resources (for promotion), not forcing anyone to participate, allowing people to decide what they want
. He asked his supporters to defend and spread his proposal in the streets, on social networks and in all areas.
Let’s occupy the street, let’s go to the media, let’s defend what we believe in the networks, on TikTok, Instagram, wherever they want. Let’s connect to WhatsApp, let’s do everything we have to do to convince someone else every day.
In the afternoon, in his program dichelowhich he broadcasts over the Internet, and in which he was accompanied for the first time by his wife Rosalinda Bueso, the foreign minister stated that he is honored to participate in the government of López Obrador and added that the current strength of the peso against other currencies is an indicator of the approval of this administration and its results.
He recalled that on December 1, 2018, the dollar was at 20.36 pesos, and They had told us that if Andrés Manuel won, the peso was going to devalue
. However, the dollar is worth one peso less today: it is quoted at around 19.30.
The markets are handling operations in pesos, which means a very favorable assessment of what President López Obrador is doing and the results he has
he opined.
He added that on December 14 the summit of leaders of the Pacific Alliance will be held in Lima, Peru, so in the coming weeks he will not broadcast dicheloand took the opportunity to wish his audience a happy holiday season.
