Disagreements, speculations and delays in the Morena process 2023/11/11

Towards midnight, Morena had given the results of the polls to elect a candidate for governor in eight of the nine entities where there will be elections in 2024.

They left CDMX last. At the close of this column it was not officially known if it was Omar García Harfuch either Clara Brugadabut speculation was the order of the day.

The former mayor of Iztapalapa brought a baton and mariachis to the Camino Real de Anzures hotel, where the announcement was made. There was no shortage of people who saw this as a harbinger of the defeat of the former local Public Security Secretary. That scenario was read as a setback for the virtual cherry presidential candidate, Claudia Sheinbaumwhose dolphin is Garcia Harfuch.

The speculation included the specter of maximato and the adjective “hesitant” for the delivery of the baton that he made to him AMLO. In Chiapas the senator won the measurement Eduardo Ramirez; Ricardo Sheffield in Guanajuato; Carlos Lomeli in Jalisco. But the margin by which they won – less than 10 points – subject them to the gender parity rule: five women and four men. In those cases, the best possessed are Sasil de León In Chiapas; Alma Alcaraz in Guanajuato and Claudia Delgadillo in Jalisco.

Where there was no doubt was in Morelos: Margarita Gonzalez, the only woman to win in the poll, is now officially a candidate. It is also the case of Rocío Nahle in Veracruz. In Puebla he won Alejandro Armenta for more than 10 points Claudia Rivera; Javier May in Tabasco and Joaquin Huacho Diaz in Yucatán, they devastated.

* The unity of the party in government now depends on the way in which disagreements are processed. They don't want more stories like those of Marcelo Ebrard either Lucy Meza.

The former chancellor, by the way, will announce next Monday whether he will leave Morena: the senator Meza She is already a Frente Amplio candidate for the Morelos government. Only two of the 45 defeated candidates made her annoyance visible: the man from Puebla Ignacio Mier and the Jalisco Antonio Perez Noriegadad of Czech.

Wed He was not present to raise his arm to his cousin, Armenta. He warned on social networks that on Sunday he will define his political future. Perez He left the Camino Real angrily. Before leaving he declared: “Two hours before (Jorge Emilio González) sang to us who it was going to be. The six of us (applicants in Jalisco) were greatly insulted. The only one who had the courage to walk out that door is yours truly. "I'm not going anywhere else, but this is not worth it."

* The manner in which the CDMX prosecutor, Ernestina Godoyand his spokesperson, Ulises Larathey disqualify the investigation of the NYT that exposes them as spies. Telcel already admitted, via his spokesperson, Renato Flores, which provided the data required by the prosecution by law. Who do you believe? to the duet Godoy-Ulises or to NYT and Telcel? It is a question. The New York newspaper says that court records reveal that the Prosecutor's Office of Godoy ordered Telcel to hand over the telephone and text records, as well as the location, of a dozen politicians and activists.

Among those spied on he mentions Santiago Taboada, PAN mayor in Benito Juárez; the senator Lilly Tellezthe activist Alessandra Rojo de la Vega; the Mexican morenistas Higinio Martínez and Horacio Duarteamong others.

Lilly Tellez demands that the case be investigated and those responsible punished. “What can we expect from those in charge of seeking justice if they themselves violate the law. He NYT He has evidence of espionage. These are not rumors or speculation, they are evidence. There is no reason, of any kind, for me to be the subject of an investigation. “It is abuse of power,” he concluded.

* Have we ever asked Leonardo Lomeli, elected rector of the UNAM, who defined the importance of what autonomy means for that house of studies: “Autonomy is the oxygen of the university. Without it we would not be able to exercise the freedom to teach, the freedom to research and the freedom to disseminate culture,” he responded.

In his first statements, as rector, he said that he will lead the university with democracy, prudence, firmness and change without stridency. Once back on track, he expressed his willingness to dialogue with the federal government.

The response of AMLO was the disqualification: “There is no change, I think (Lomeli) was secretary of the current rector (Graue) and (of the group) of Lorenzo Cordova and Ciro Murayama…This new rector is from the group that never opposed neoliberal economic policy,” he said in the morning.

Sources close to the next rector acknowledge that Lomeli He is a friend of the two former electoral councilors, but they have no group relationship. “He is the first rector who was part of the student movement,” he points out. Own Lomeli refuted the allegations of AMLO in interview with Lopez Doriga: “In no way is UNAM an elitist institution… in the Faculty of Economics they were the first to prevent the risks of the neoliberal model since the 1980s.”
