It is because of these aspirations that Monreal is in the midst of the controversy, because in early May, Morena established the rules to avoid nepotism in its candidacies. It was approved in its National Council, but He made the reform approved by Congress where it was established that the prohibition It will enter into force until the 2030 elections.
In an interview, the Morenista senator points out that his aspirations remain intact and ensures that he agrees that there is no nepotism in the candidacies, but clarifies the concept: nepotisms is when only because he is familiar, he seeks to inherit power without any merit, and in his case, he highlights, his whole life has been prepared for this.
“I do not assume myself to nepotism. Nepotism is when a ruler leaves or wants another relative, brother, uncle, cousin, daughters, wife (…) and the only merit is to be a familiar one of who is finishing his order. Of course, it is nepotism and in that yes, I am against me when they tell me, hey, but his brother is (in the governor) 27 years old and I have prepared for it, ”he says.
From his office in the Senate of the Republic, Saúl Monreal highlights his career as a municipal president for two occasions, local deputy, party leader and now senator already his 47 years makes it clear that the people of Zacatecas support him, he can challenge the statutes of Morena, because they cannot be above their political rights or by what the Constitution marks.
“In the strict right I can challenge, because no guidelines, no legal system, no statute, no law can go above the Constitution and the Constitution at this time says that until 2030, and not in 2027,”
Saúl Monreal, Senator of Zacatecas by Morena.
But at 47, the former Fresnillo mayor points out that if there are no conditions, he will also assess the next cycle. It will depend on the agreements.
Here part of the interview:
Does your aspiration continue for the governorship of Zacatecas?
My aspiration is there. Many have generated noise, many have generated stinging, many have generated restlessness. Because? Because in my case it is a very particular case, as in San Luis, as a local warrior there are many cases such as mine.
When we present the initiative of the President of the Republic of Nepotism I supported her. I do not assume nepotism, because that is when a ruler leaves another relative: brother, uncle, cousin, daughters, wife.
There have been cases in Zacatecas, I have been against it, because the only merit is because he is the president’s wife, because he is the son of the municipal president and stops him as a candidate. I have been against, because they have not had a political career and the only merit is to be a familiar to who is finishing their order.
That is nepotism and I am against. When they tell me, ‘hear, but his brother is’, yes, but I have a trajectory of 27 years, I have prepared for it.
Have you thought about challenging if they don’t give you the candidacy?
I am valuing. If the game denies me, yes. They tell me what are you going to do? Well, I don’t know. When Morena’s call out, when the processes begin, we will be in the definitions. What can happen? I tell them, well yes, maybe Morena, but let’s see how other parties and even the non -allies. It does not prevent me in another game.
My aspiration is intact. There are many things that are going to be resolved and they will define themselves at 2027. It is not worth that, from nowadays, make one side.
Who wants to do it one side?
Many, in MORENA LOCAL, in Morena in Zacatecas, because I am not of their content and they bring other interests and because they say ‘Saul is no longer going’; Then, they confuse citizens, they confuse militancy. I have said, there is my aspiration. Also If the people say, you don’t go, I don’t go. I am not obsessed.
What does the governor say? What does the deputy say? What do your brothers David and Ricardo say?
We have been a very close family. We are a family of politicians. Just as there are families of doctors, we are a political family and we have always known how to differentiate what the policy is to what the family is. There are times that we are in the family and we do not agree in the political and we better not touch an issue.
In my aspiration, everyone has agreed, we have always respected. The talk with my sisters, my brothers, a lot of support, have respected and tell me ‘what you indicate, what you decide, there we will be’, even the deputy and the governor.
Do you talk about a group that is against you there in Zacatecas. This is the one that leads his ex -ative Verónica Díaz?
I would not even want to mention it, because there are people who do not deserve even a second of my attention and that woman we have been four seconds, but among others, she and another belligerent sectarian with very unfortunate attitudes.
