UNDER RESERVE: The defeat of the Anayas

The defeat of the Anayas

The war that conservative National Action Party (PAN) leader Ricardo Anaya undertook in Coahuila for the "defense" of the results at the polls, which the blue party says favored their former candidate Guillermo Anaya, shows glimpses of a lost battle. We are told that young Ricardo has also run out of explanations for the defeat in the State of Mexico, in which their former aspirant Josefina Vázquez Mota finished fourth. And while the blue heavyweights are involved in the 2018 presidential elections, Anaya has another pending issue: reaffirming the support of the parliamentary coordinators, deputy Marko Cortés at the Legislative Palace of San Lázaro and Senator Fernando Herrera in the Senate, who have closed the door to support an extraordinary session period in order to move forward on the pending anti-corruption legislation and security reforms. The defeat of the Anayas is a certain matter, we are told.

Hunting of former “Duartists”

A few months ago in this dairy, we announced that the request for immunity removal of Javier Duarte's former treasurer and current federal legislator, Tarek Abdallah, had fallen like a bomb at the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) bench in the Chamber of Deputies. Now, Veracruz's attorney general, Jorge Winckler, announced that more requests would be made to withdraw the immunity from other legislators. We are now informed that the judicial authorities of Veracruz have the next procedure of immunity removal against another former member of Javier Duarte's government ready. We must remember that Alberto Ramos Silva was his spokesperson; Erick Lagos, Duarte's undersecretary general of Government; Adolfo Mota served as Secretary of Education; Sofía del Sagrario was also close to Duarte; And Jorge Alejandro Carvallo Delfín, was his private secretary. Who's next in line?

Heading to the OAS Assembly

As it has been a common practice that allows making the most of the visits to other countries, some chancellors of Latin America and the Caribbean who will participate tomorrow in the General Assembly of the Organization of American States (OAS), that will be held in Cancún, began to arrive to Mexican soil this Saturday to carry out previous activities. Such is the case of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bolivia, Fernando Huanacuni Mamani, who on Saturday traveled to the city of Oaxaca to participate in different conferences at the Benito Juárez Autonomous University. The Bolivian foreign minister spoke about the development of his country. During the OAS assembly, the Venezuelan case will be addressed, which has caused so much polarization and debate among member countries, so we are told.

No Mancera Team Resignation

Very concerned were some members of the team of Miguel Angel Mancera and some media with the version that the head of Government of Mexico City had requested the resignation of his entire cabinet. There were many calls and messages to the governor's collaborators. Some, they tell us, expressed surprise and others stopped the rumors with a practical "there is nothing". Some of them spoke of the context: there will be movements once Mancera runs for candidate to the presidential elections of 2018. The collaborators denied the version that, of course, can only be confirmed by Mr. Miguel Angel himself. So nobody move!
