Senate Majority at Risk

Ricardo Monreal, the leader of the Morena party in the Senate, warned his colleagues that the departure of Senator Enrique Inzunza from Sinaloa could put the party’s majority at risk. Monreal noted that the loss of Inzunza’s vote could lead to the loss of the party’s majority, which is essential for passing key legislation.

The senator’s departure has caused concern among party members, with some worrying that it could lead to a loss of power in the Senate. Monreal estimated that Inzunza would remain loyal to the party’s principles, but expressed uncertainty about the future.

Former Mayor of Cuauhtémoc Sandra Cuevas has been banned from holding public office for a year due to her involvement in the “Operativo Diamante” scandal. The Tribunal de Justicia Administrativa de la Ciudad de México found that Cuevas had abused her powers and committed irregularities during the operation.

The PRI party has been seeking advice from former Cisen director Guillermo Valdés Castellanos on security matters. Valdés Castellanos warned that official indicators do not always reflect the full reality of the situation, and that reducing homicides may not be enough to address the root causes of violence.

Valdés Castellanos noted that other forms of violence, such as disappearances, may be increasing even as homicide rates decrease.

In Sinaloa, the Morena party has been dealing with its own internal conflicts. The party’s president, Sheinbaum, recognized the trajectory of Imelda Castro, a former adversary of Rubén Rocha Moya who has been appointed as the party’s coordinator for Sinaloa.

The appointment of Ana Chiquete as Castro’s substitute in the Senate has raised eyebrows, given her close ties to Rocha Moya.

The party’s legal advisor, Luisa María Alcalde, has also been facing questions about her handling of certain issues, including the registration of candidates with arrest warrants. Alcalde claimed she was unaware of the details, leading to further criticism of the party’s leadership.

In Guanajuato, the leader of the MC party, Jorge Álvarez Máynez, faced criticism from party members who felt that he was giving too much power to former members of other parties.

Monreal’s warning still resonates.
