Is there an agreement between the President and Alejandro Moreno?
It’s true that the PRI’s national leader, Alejandro Moreno , boasted about the party leading the lower chamber. PRI lawmakers said Moreno told them he has an agreement with President Andrés Manuel López Obrador so that the political party leads the lower chamber. The PRI is so confident about the alleged pact that it already has a candidate: Dulce María Sauri. However, sources said not everyone is happy about the choice because they argue Sauri has occupied many positions and that if Alejandro Moreno reached an agreement with the President, he should have chosen someone who represents the new PRI.
More PRI candidates
While leading the lower chamber would be another accomplishment for Dulce María Sauri, for others this would be a great opportunity. For example, Ernesto Nemer could help governor Alfredo del Mazo in case he runs for president in the future. Other possible candidates could be Pablo Angulo, Cynthia López Castro, or Rubén Moreira. The PRI will try not to go extinct in 2021 and show it has changed.
The presidential plane raffle could turn into a disaster
The symbolic raffle of the presidential plane is almost here. Although the lottery prize is not the luxurious jet and instead the equivalent of its commercial value; nevertheless, the majority of the tickets haven’t been sold. President López Obrador said the government sold 1,500,000 tickets out of 6 million a few weeks ago. On one hand, the President asked people to purchase lottery tickets and government departments also asked the employees to purchase them. Yet it seems like the MXN 500 price per ticket is not attractive amid an economic crisis and unemployment. High-ranking officials have experienced several salary cuts, which is why they may not be willing to buy a ticket. In the end, the raffle could end up in a disaster.
Mexico could reform its legal system
The Senate will host a meeting regarding the administration of justice next week. Senator Ricardo Monreal will meet with the head of the Supreme Court, the Interior Minister, the Attorney General, the President’s Legal Counselor, the head of the lower chamber, and the head of the Conago. The presidents of state tribunals and state attorneys will also be present virtually. This event shows the process to review initiatives concerning justice, digital justice, and the Legal Branch.
