The dispute of the PAN for “the jewel in the crown”
On October 1, Orozco Sandoval will pass the baton to the new governor of the entity, after six years of government. In the polls and for analysts, the PAN has a good chance of maintaining the state in the elections on June 5, which is why it has become the “jewel in the crown” for the party.
But for the governor, the six states at stake should be the “jewel in the crown.” “A party is made to win elections.” He emphasizes that although one entity represents better possibilities, none of the others can be ruled out. This after the tension with the national leader of the PAN, Marko Cortés, who supposedly recognized in an audio that they were only going to be able to win in Aguascalientes.
The PAN seeks to preserve the state hand in hand with Tere Jiménez, close to the PAN leader. In this regard, Orozco Sandoval expresses that there are two moments in which it is known if they are the “indicated”, one in the filter of the party and another with society, which he qualifies based on results.
“It is up to me until October 1 to maintain this growth of the state, this peace and later respond to whoever made the decision of those two moments,” he assures, showing confidence that the division will not hit the party in the election. and there will be blue and white continuity in Aguascalientes.
How can this division in the PAN hit the process? Does it put you at risk?
“No. The state has several characteristics because I think it will have continuity, and the first is the issue of PANism that exists in the state itself, the little presence of Morena and from there analyze the campaign strategy, the vision of the State , and I do not leave behind what the entire administration of this six-year term did on the issue of public policy results”.
Without fear of any friendly fire?
“No one can secure anything, no one can secure anything.”
Preparing your departure
In his last days as governor, Martín Orozco dedicates his time to closing the pending issues of his government and leaving clear accounts of his administration both in security and finances, for this reason he did not attend a meeting of the Governors of National Action (GOAN) with Secretary of the Interior Adán Augusto López last week.
“The only thing that worries you is leaving, that is, closing, taking care of your departure, finishing the projects that are pending, that there is continuity in your state, basically I concentrated on that, I continue with the relationship with my party, I follow the relationship as far as individual with my fellow governors, but already in the final stretch, I leave all organization, “he says.
What kind of ex-governor is he going to be? How are you going to relations with his PAN colleagues?
Let’s see what we do Carlos Mendoza (former governor of Baja California Sur, Pancho Domínguez, (former governor of Querétaro) and Francisco Cabeza de Vaca (governor of Tamaulipas).
Stay in state?
(I will be) normal, on the street, in the markets, in the Necaxa stadium. Without political life for a while, respecting whoever is going to be there, aware that you have to stop being, but also aware that you have to contribute and add to 2024.”
