The Va por México coalition, made up of the PRI, PAN and PRD, will promote a great national agreement to go together on all counts. We will support a presidential candidacy, the common candidacies for the Senate of the Republic, in the 300 electoral districts and in the positions of popular electionannounced yesterday the president of the Institutional Revolutionary, Alejandro Moreno Cárdenas.

In the Plutarco Elías Calles auditorium of the Insurgentes Norte offices, the Campechano also explained that for the selection of the presidential candidate and for the Head of Government of Mexico City, the PAN will lead the process, which means that it will regulate the selection of both applications. However, the agreement does not mean that the whiteblue It will determine who the applicants will be.

The deal was clear and transparent, open to societysaid Moreno Cardenas. National Action has shown an opening for the inclusion of all. That is what gives us the opportunity to compete, that is what will help us to be strong. We will have to be based on competitiveness. It is not a matter of whether I run the candidacy because it is my turn or not, it is a matter of competitiveness. The task of the coalition and the political parties is to win the elections with proposals and compromises. Also for society there will be openness to political participation.

The confusion surrounding the conduct of the process is due to the fact that the electoral law obliges the parties to register the candidates. Due to the way in which the Va por México coalition intends to compete in 2024, it will be up to the PAN (given the agreement announced last Thursday) to register the applicants, who will come from any of the forces included in that alliance and from civil society.

Before the announcement, Moreno Cárdenas received members of six civil society organizations in his office, who expressed their interest to us to add their effort and vision in favor of Mexico towards the electoral processes 2023 and 2024said.

Questioned about the positions of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador regarding the upcoming electoral processes, Moreno Cárdenas joked, causing approving laughter among those attending the press conference: When did you stop campaigning?

From there he went on to call on the Executive to moderate and respect the electoral processes in the State of Mexico and in Coahuila. He did not rule out that attacks, lies and defamation will come from the ruling party and the government in the coming months.

The PRI national leader claimed that We cannot allow Mexico to continue falling apart. The good news is that we are going to take a firm step, that we are going to win in Coahuila, that we are going to win in the State of Mexico and in 2024 it will end, because we are going to win the Presidency of the Republic.

And so he questioned tragic abandonment institution of the Metro in Mexico City, after almost 30 years of the PRI not ruling, a party that, he assured, always kept the Collective Transportation System at the forefront in the 11 lines it built, investing in the best engineers and using the best technology in the world.
