Prison for presidents who commit electoral crimes, the PRI proposes 2023/11/21

The PRI is going to present a reform initiative in the Congress of the Union so that, like the governors who interfere in the elections, the President of the Republic goes to jail if electoral crimes are proven.

The initiative was announced the same day that the pre-campaigns of Claudia SheinbaumMorena-PT-PVEM coalition; Xochitl GalvezPAN-PRI-PRD, and Samuel GarciaMC, candidates for the Presidency of the Republic.

The first act of Claudia, leading in the polls, was at the World Trade Center in Boca del Río, Veracruz. The former head of Government represents the continuity of the 4T:

The social programs, yes, but also the failed strategy of hugs, not bullets; Republican austerity, yes, but the “other data” too.

Add to that expensive and unfinished priority works, morning attacks on journalists, intellectuals and critics in general, contempt for the rule of law, shortage of medicines, militarization, harassment of judges, magistrates and ministers, financial asphyxiation of autonomous bodies, occurrences.

Xochitl It represents the option of a change of direction, but with the same ones as before. Samuel and the oranges call themselves the “third option.”

The correlation of forces—and the polls—tell us that the dispute for the Presidency of the Republic will be, for the first time in history, between two women.

* Adrian Rubalcava wrote on Twitter: “On the issue of the CDMX prosecutor, today I clarify that the capital deputies who sympathize with me are going to ratify Ernestina Godoyfor betrayal.”

We know, however, that Rubalcava he backed down and will not vote on the ratification of the capital prosecutor. The only representative who was his ally, María de Lourdes Gonzálezhe already died.

The ratification of Godoy for four years will be voted in the local Congress in the midst of the scandal uncovered by the NYTaccording to which the capital's Prosecutor's Office spied on a dozen opposition politicians, activists and even prominent brown.

Among those “spied on” are Santiago Taboada, candidate of the Frente Amplio for the Head of Government of CDMX; the PAN senator Lilly Tellezthe activist Alessandra Rojo de la Vega.

But also the morenistas Horacio DuarteSecretary General of the Government in Edomex, and the licensed senator Higinio Martínezchief of staff and special affairs of Delfina Gomez.

The eight local PRI deputies already have a line to vote against ratification. Without those votes, ratification does not pass. A qualified majority is required in the plenary session (two-thirds of the votes).

* José Murat will follow in his son's footsteps Alexander. He has one foot outside the PRI. He no longer chairs the Colosio Foundation. He replaces it Samuel Palma.

Alejandro MuratBy the way, it already gave color. He doesn't go to MC. “The person I am close to is Claudia Sheinbaum", he confessed to Joaquín López-Dóriga.

His words predict that we will soon see him wearing a cherry vest and in a seat.

* The National Commission of Conventions and Internal Processes registered the actor and businessman as a candidate for senator by majority or first minority, in Quintana Roo. Roberto Palazuelos.

The news dismisses rumors that the Citizen Movement would nominate Palazuelos as municipal president of Benito Juárez.

Local political analysts say that with the actor's candidacy, they breathe easier Ana Patricia Peraltacurrent mayor who is part of the Morena-PVEM binomial, who came to office as a substitute and aspires to stay, via the polls.

* There will be no alliance of the Frente Amplio in the gubernatorial elections in Tabasco, where the Morenista looks unbeatable Javier May. It is the only state where PAN, PRI and PRD go alone.

In the other eight entities they do go in alliance: in Guanajuato, Jalisco, Chiapas and Morelos they have women as candidates; In CDMX, Puebla, Veracruz and Yucatán they go with men.
