Monreal called Morena’s unit and asked not to demonize the INE march

Morena’s coordinator in the Senate of the Republic, Ricardo Monreal Avilaurged members of his party not to “demonize” the demonstration that took place at the Zócalo in Mexico City, which was aimed at protesting against the so-called “Plan B” of electoral reform proposed by Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO).

Monreal assured that, for his part, he would not condemn the mobilization, but rather that an analysis should be applied to know where Morena is failing and why he has moved away from certain social sectors.

“The expression that was observed during the last march on Sunday must be analyzed in its proper dimension. For my part, I will not objectify it, nor even disqualify it. It’s a right we all have“Said the also president of the Political Coordination Council (Jucopo) of the Upper House through a video posted on his social networks this Monday, February 27.

In this sense, he claimed that he and his political allies also marched when they were in opposition, so it is now up to them to be tolerant and reconcile from within and without.

“We did (march) as the opposition and many times we filled the Zócalo, we did marches, and although we received disqualifications for our marches, we shouldn’t do it,” reflected the candidate for the presidential candidacy of his party around 2024 .

According to Zacatecan, the main groups with which the party founded by AMLO must reconcile are, mainly, the middle classes (which he highlighted for helping to achieve “the triumph in 2018”), the economic and commercial sector, the media, as well as the feminist movement and all the other sectors that accompanied the Fourth Transformation almost five years ago years. “We have to meet them again,” he suggested.

On the other hand, “far from demonizing” political and civic expressions – as was the mobilization in “defense” of the National Electoral Institute (INE) against the reforms promoted by Morena – urged to review the reasons for these demonstrations; analyze where the political institute fails and with this, “recompose our relationship” with the requesting groups.

Internal trials, processes of conflict and internal clashes, only take us away from the possibility of cohesion

“Morena must act with the characteristics of caution, common sense, inclusion and unity. If we want to keep our social movement in power, it’s time to unite,” he said as protesters photographs of him appeared in audio-visual material along with the others”caps“, as Claudia Sheinbaum, Marcelo Ebrard and Adam August Lopezas well as the company of President López Obrador and the politician Cuauhtemoc Cardenas.

Meanwhile, said conciliatory speech contrasted with what was expressed by the party’s national leader, Mario Delgado, as well as by AMLO himself during his morning conference on Monday.

Delgado Carrillo assured that the march was aimed at defending “the interests of the old regime”, while López Obrador called the organizers “raccoons”, “tranzas” and neoliberals, among whom he mentioned the former Minister of the Supreme Court (SCJN), Ramón Cosío, former Fox official Jorge Castañeda and historian Enrique Krauze.

“This movement, this protest has Plan B of electoral reform as its screen, but the truth is that it is not a citizens’ march, it is a right-wing demonstration against the transformation that is taking place at the national level” has said Mario Delgado.

For her part, the head of the government of Mexico City, Claudia Sheinbaum, also insulted the Zócalo congregation. “Who called? Who are those who claim to defend democracy? I didn’t see them talking about the 2006 election fraud“, he expressed.
