Meade and AMLO, about to negotiate?
We're told that during the flight from Tijuana to Mexico City , in which several politicians happened to meet last Monday – such as the presidential candidate of the “For Mexico to the Front” coalition, Ricardo Anaya , the member of the center-right Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) Manlio Fabio Beltrones, and the leader of the left National Regeneration Party (MORENA) party Yeidckol Polevnsky – there was a very interesting meeting. Ms. Yeidckol, according to our sources, talked briefly with Dionisio Meade , father of the presidential candidate of the center-right Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), José Antonio Meade , and told him that perhaps they could meet soon. The question several of those who overheard Polevnsky wonder which business these two could probably discuss. Is an agreement underway before the election of July 1?
The holidays of Andrés Manuel
The presidential candidate of the coalition led by the left National Regeneration Party (MORENA), Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) has told his work team that they will only have one vacation day. Our sources say that Mr. Andrés – who already acts as the winner of the elections – has told those close to him that they will only be able to take July 2 off because starting July 3 they will go on a tour across the country. AMLO claims that one of the goals of this tour is to meet with businessmen to bring them the scholarship plans and temporal employment plans for Mexico's youth.
Eight more months of campaigns
The one who doesn't even know which day he's living on is the coordinator of the deputies of the conservative National Action Party (PAN) Marko Cortés . So focused is he on the demands made by the National Electoral Institute ( INE ) that the legislator lost track of days and months. During a press conference he gave on the headquarters of the Senate of the Republic, he urged the electoral institute to demand certainty on the proposals made by the candidates running for President of the Republic during the third debate, which will take place next “January 12.” Imagine another eight months of campaigns and spots day and night in media – not even joking, Mr. Marko.
Corral's fear
Behind the resistance and stubbornness of the Chihuahua Governor, Javier Corral , regarding the order of the Judicial Branch to bring Alejandro Gutiérrez before the Federal Court, according to the members of the center-right Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) of the state, lies the fear his collaborators who fret the case falls apart once the case is in hands of a federal court and no longer in their court, as local judges have kept it. The PRI members think the “big case” of Mr. Javier doesn't have a leg to stand on, courtesy of the illegal protected witnesses with benefits. We're told the only resource left to Corral is the media – one of his specialties.
