Eva Cadena wants MXN$ 20 million

The collector, as she was known for allegedly receiving money to distribute it for the proselytist events of Andrés Manuel López Obrador , seeks to be compensated for moral damages by MXN$ 20 million at a trial against EL UNIVERSAL. The political class, other news outlets, and several readers saw, in April 2017, the videos were the former member of the left National Regeneration Party (MORENA) accepted money for the “cause.” Now she proclaims that she has been fully exonerated from all investigations and wants to recover “what she lost”: in a year she stopped earning MXN$20 million and she aims to win exactly that at court. Just how much is her income or her businesses worth that she estimates her losses in that amount? Oh yeah, and how timely is her return, amidst election times…

AMLO, each day closer to the National Palace

We're told that the presidential candidate of the “Together We'll Make History” coalition, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) announced he's already getting ready to move. But not to Los Pinos because, like he has promised, he won't live there, he'll continue living at his house should he win the election. Until recently, he was living in the Heriberto Frías street, in the Del Valle quarter, in the Benito Juárez borough. Now he lives in Tlalpan. But because his youngest son, Jesús, will be entering middle-school this 2019, he is moving to Historic Downtown, close to the National Palace. If he wins the elections, of course. But he's certain about Los Pinos, though: “It's haunted, it has bad vibes,” he thinks.

And where is Alejandra Sota?

While the people inside the campaign of José Antonio Meade claim there has been a change in strategy but not of staff, there is someone who hasn't been seen at the headquarters all that often in recent days. Our sources say that Alejandra Sota , who had been in charge of the communication strategy, isn't around the headquarters of the center-right Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) anymore. Perhaps you'll remember that Ms. Alejandra was the spokeswoman of former President Felipe Calderón, and after her time at Los Pinos, he became a communication consultant, and has even worked for several campaigns. Could it be that Ms. Alejandra is no longer part of Meade's team, or is she simply working from home?

Zavala, jets only when necessary

The campaign team of Margarita Zavala is analyzing the impact of her having flown in a private jet last Sunday to make her tour across Tampico and Matamoros, in the state of Tamaulipas – which had a total cost of nearly MXN$ 4 million. We're told they reached a decision of only using private jets or air taxis when truly necessary. We're told that they want more accessible logistics and that the'll stick to commercial flights and with the feet on the ground.
