Martí Batres lost the war
The process to appoint a new Senate president sparked a feud at Morena , the ruling party. We've been told that the bad blood generated by the results is part of what's going on inside the party: internal disagreements . A clear example of this is the fact the Martí Batres , who wanted to lead the Senate for another year, attacked the parliamentary coordinator, Ricardo Monreal . Adding more fuel to the fire, Morena's leader, Yeidckol Polevnsky, said it was “embarrassing” that Morena called PES lawmakers to vote but ignored the PT . In the end, senator Mónica Fernández Balboa was appointed as the new Senate leader and Monreal received a lot of support from the senators .
Porfirio Muñoz will sacrifice himself
While Morena was at war in the Senate , lawmaker Porfirio Muñoz Ledo announced he was ready to work. The president of the lower chamber is back in the political arena after a surgery. Among the tasks pending for Porfirio Muñoz is a possible reelection , although he said that he is not looking for it, nor would he like to. Muñoz Ledo said that “If I have the majority I will be president , I have no other choice,” therefore, it is clear he is willing to “sacrifice” for the new government .
Ivonne Ortega after the PRI
The former governor quit the PRI after reporting irregularities in the process to appoint a new party leader, Ivonne Ortega Pacheco might join one of the emerging political organizations . We've been told that the former Yucatán governor might join a project called “ Progressive Social Networks ,” a group linked to former union leader Elba Esther Gordillo . Another option is “Future 21,” an organization that emerged from the PRD and that is looking to become a political party and which will celebrate its first national assembly on Saturday. There is life after the PRI .
