Polevnsky and Luján share the same pain
We’ve been told that Bertha Luján and Yeidckol Polevnsky , both Morena members, were affected by the resolution issued by the Electoral Tribunal, which determined the internal election at the ruling party should be carried out through a poll. Polevnsky quickly criticized the decision on social media. Yesterday, Luján, the only contender who had openly rejected a poll, criticized the decision; however, she celebrated the decision to oust Polevnsky as the party leader and validate the election of Alfonso Ramírez Cuéllar but she has since changed her mind and threatened to report and investigate the magistrates. So after fighting between them, they now have a common enemy .
