PAN, PRI and PRD agreed that each party will announce their profiles by 2023and they will have little more than three months to demonstrate which is the best positioned, decide if they will join for that common candidacy that can face Morena and, in December, make the alliance official before the INE It goes by Edomex.
Marko Cortes accelerated the times for the other two parties to announce who will enter a kind of primary election in the alliance, a new method that they will try in the face of the one they intend to apply for the handover of the Presidency in 2024.
A few hours after Morena appointed Delfina Gómez as her candidate for the governorship of the State of Mexico, the PAN woke up early to its allies, the PRI and the PRD, and uncovered its best card: Enrique Vargas as its standard-bearer towards the electoral process ; Contrary to the internal agreements made in similar processes where the alliance has always agreed on its candidate before making it public.
Enrique Vargas maintained that Morena’s own polls showed that 70 percent of Mexiquenses would not vote for Delfina Gómez.
Others, such as former President Felipe Calderón, expressed their discontent with Marko Cortés’s announcement, calling it “lowness” and accusing him of “sabotaging the possibilities of an alliance in the State of Mexico.”
Meanwhile, the leader of the PRI deputies, Rubén Moreira, denied that the “uncovering” of Vargas would destroy the possibility of the alliance, on the contrary, he maintained that the PAN, PRI and PRD will go together to the election of the next Mexican governor in 2023, although he stressed that each member party of the alliance has the right to nominate their cadres in search of the candidacy.
The fight for the most important governorship in the country due to its electoral weight (which exceeds 12 million voters on the list) put the coalition totter goes to Mexico in the face of the resistance of local leadership, mainly the PRI and the PAN, to cede a position to the party that has been his greatest opponent in the entity. So, to avoid a fracture, The agreement was to support the one that shows the most possibilities of beating Morena in 2023.
MILLENNIUM consulted various alliance sources goes to Mexicowho confirmed that they reached an agreement so that each party announces its best profile for the candidacy in the State of Mexico, in the face of local resistance against the insistence of national leaders not to pause the alliance towards the presidential renewal of 2024 .
The PRD confirmed to this medium that, in their case, they expect on August 13 to announce to Omar Ortegacoordinator of the PRD deputies in the State of Mexico, as his bet for 2023. While the PRI, with Alejandro Moreno from the national leadership and Alfredo del Mazo governing the entity, have not decided whether they will support the federal deputy Ana Lilia Herrera or to the Secretary of Social Development of Mexico, Alexandra del Moral.
While Marko Cortés chose a tweet to report that “Morena rewards criminals, delphine gomez she stole money from workers for her campaign in Texcoco and López Obrador rewards her with a candidacy for the State of Mexico. In the face of cynicism and corruption, we are ready with someone who has shown that he knows how to win and govern Enrique Vargas”.
The recently uncovered and coordinator of the PAN deputies in the State of Mexico and of the local deputies of the party, Henry Vargas, said in an interview for MILLENNIUM Television that “the State of Mexico wants a change and also from Morena, because Morena failed the State of Mexico, that hope that they had sold, that commitment to put gasoline at 10 pesos but the basic basket goes up, there is no money, there is a extremely strong crisis in the country and it is where we have to work together”.
However, despite the apparent agreement that each party will launch its own cards, PAN leaders assured that they do not intend to cede the candidacy to someone else and prefer to go alone in the race, Well, at the moment, Vargas is the best positioned against Delfina Gómez de Morena.
Another of the sighing, the priista Ana Lilia Herrera He said that it is about “in the Alliance promoting the most competitive person”, since the three parties have men and women with preparation and great qualities.
“The State of Mexico needs us all, I am a total Alliance supporter and I am in favor of the Alliance” and regarding the uncovering of Cortés to Enrique Vargas del Villar, he expressed his appreciation for him and considered it logical that the parties promote their best profiles, “ he is a great cadre, but so is Omar Ortega in the PRD, in short, I believe that the most important thing is the State of Mexico, it is the greater good, the state needs us all”.
While, John Zepeda He said that he sees “a lot of haste in all the parties”, fighting for a candidacy and in December, the Citizen Movement will elect its candidate, respecting the law and “for all those who begin to pressure us to go with some, that we go with others, we we say that it is better alone than in bad company” and said that an alliance with the PAN and Enrique Vargas, proposed by Damián Zepeda, and that the former mayor of Huixquilucan himself reproduced on his social networks, did not bring “on the radar”.
The PAN members consulted stressed that Durango left a lesson at the local level, beyond its national leadership and its agreements: after years of fighting to defeat the PRI, not in all scenarios they can ally with their worst enemy.
Six years ago, the PAN managed to wrest Durango from the PRI. They promised the citizens a change after a lifetime with PRI governments. Jose Rosas Aispuro they achieved victory and this year they appeared in alliance with the party they tried to banish. They supported a PRI and even that generated discontent and sit-down operations in some areas. In Coahuila and the State of Mexico they seek to prevent this failure for the PAN from repeating itself.
