Legitimizing the power and powers that, de facto, Pedro Haces Barba has been exercising for a month in the Chamber of Deputies, fueled resentments in the Morena bench, which viewed with suspicion the creation of the figure of political operation coordinator for the leader. worker, who is placed on par with the position of Ricardo Monreal Ávila.
In the organizational chart, at the same level as the parliamentary coordinator, the group’s technical secretary and Haces Barba were placed, who became the second in command of the bench. And below, to the vice coordinators of parliamentary liaison and strategy and legislative process, Gabriela Jiménez Godoy and Alfonso Ramírez Cuéllar, respectively.
Morena experienced a harsh plenary meeting yesterday, where Jiménez Godoy fought to recover the functions that Monreal intended to take away from him and transfer them to Haces. At the end of the private meeting, which lasted almost six hours, the legislator expressed: We put up the fight. But I recognize the role of the coordinator, who lobbied to achieve consensus
.
However, the uproar caused by the figure of political operator for Haces forced a recess that allowed the reservations presented by the legislator to be vented.
Monreal took advantage of it to inform the internal agreement that will allow voting for the presidencies of six priority commissions. He even anticipated that it would be a long night because the discussion could extend into the early hours of this Tuesday, which did not happen.
–Will it be the night of the long knives?
–No, only Kristallnacht in Nazi Germany. That will never be repeated again.
The question and its historical slip with which it alluded to the destruction of windows and shop windows of Jewish properties and the subsequent looting in November 1938 by Nazism, irritated Monreal who, upon returning to the plenary session, demanded of the deputies: Outside the press asked me if this is the night of the long knives. I ask you for unity!
Beyond the disagreement, the former governor of Zacatecas managed to ratify Pedro Haces as his operator, and with that figure he will coordinate the 32 state links; will represent Monreal in his absence before the coordination of the bench and will even appoint deputy coordinators for the best performance of their functions
.
Of course, he was not given representation before the Morena leadership, the national and international political parties. In the regulations it was intended that he would coordinate the efforts of the deputies before the government and even with the business chambers. With the changes, you can only assistant
in that task.
The vice-coordination of Jiménez Godoy recovered the coordination of the special and thematic commissions, as well as those of the presidents of the ordinary, bicameral and friendship groups, which Monreal wanted for Haces, who – the deputies assure – has the keys
to assign offices and spaces in the parking lot.
Once the meeting concluded, Monreal and Haces left together, followed by a troop of aides.
In the end, the group agreed to present the presidents of the Finance, Budget, Justice, Constitutional Points, Defense and Navy commissions.
