The Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) will begin today the Dialogues for Mexico forum, which will result in a catwalk of candidates from the tricolor to the Presidency of the Republic, which includes at least three governors, as well as senators and former federal officials.
In accordance with the format and previous agreements, Senator Beatriz Paredes Rangel, the Governor of Oaxaca, Alejandro Murat Hinojosa, the former Secretary of Economy during the six-year term of Enrique Peña Nieto Ildefonso Guajardo and the former secretary of the Treasury during the government of Ernesto Zedillo José Ángel Gurría.
In tomorrow’s Tuesday session, the governors of Durango and Coahuila, Esteban Villegas and Miguel Riquelme, respectively, are confirmed; and the former Secretary of Tourism in the six-year term of Peña and son of former President Miguel de la Madrid, Enrique de la Madrid Cordero. Until yesterday, the participation of the governor of the state of Mexico, Alfredo del Mazo, had not been confirmed.
The dialogue will take place in the main auditorium of the PRI headquarters, the Plutarco Elías Calles, and the call foresees that the participants will speak before the militancy, the sectors and the leadership of the tricolor on security, health and economy issues.
It is “a meeting with the militancy to present the ideas that will give certainty and direction to the country… under the premise that it is time to move forward on the route that Mexico needs,” the party explained.
Based on the proposal of the PRI leader, Alejandro Moreno, it is expected that the candidates will be heard by senators and federal deputies, local legislators, the national leadership and the 32 state committees, as well as the leaders of the three sectors of the party, and including academics, analysts and PRI sympathizers.
The purpose of the dialogue is for governors, legislators and former officials to explain what institutional design or what strategy would make it possible to resolve the crisis of security and violence that Mexico is experiencing, and about the alternative proposals for solutions that the government must promote in order to definitively address and resolve the economic crisis that is affecting the country
