Meanwhile, in the Senate, the approval of the reform is in doubt, since at least 11 of 13 PRI senators have announced the vote against and the coordinator of the PRI in that Chamber, Miguel Ángel Osorio Chong, warned over the weekend that will insist on the early departure of “Alito” from the tricolor leadership for aligning with Morena.
In response, Moreno Cárdenas warned that he will go against the party’s critics: “We are going to exhibit them because they want to divide the party.”
“What has happened with the parliamentary coordinator that you point out. I would like the vehemence he has to attack the leader of his party to have it, or to attack his party, to have it to point out what this government has not done. It seems more opposition to Morena Ricardo Monreal than the coordinator of the PRI in the upper house. We are not going to allow them to lend themselves to the campaign of attacks and defamation so that they lend themselves to dividing the PRI.
“The PRI members know who are those who are with the party in good times and bad and who are those who lend themselves to attacking, dividing, for wanting to look good, put together a note, a show, we know them. Those PRI members that you see coming out, never walk a street, they are never under the rain and the sun and they did not stop in a campaign in 2022, in 2021,” Moreno accused.
For this reason, he insisted that he is not leaving the party and denied that he had agreed with Morena: “We do not have dark agreements with anyone.”
“We are not raising VAT, we are not authorizing Fobaproa. Now those who raised VAT and authorized Fobaproa to say that this is not patriotic do not come to me, ”Moreira turned to the senators of his party.
Ask allies to join
Regarding the Va por México Coalition, Moreno Cárdenas insisted that voting in favor of this reform should not affect the alliance.
The differences with the allies, he asked, must be “overcome them, put them aside, because Mexico comes first.”
In addition, the PRI proposal “is not a reform, it is a word,” he said.
Moreno and Moreira announced that they will propose an addition to the tricolor reform proposal, so that a bicameral commission receives and monitors the periodic reports of the National Guard and the training of state police.
