President López Obrador vs. Opposition governors

President López Obrador vs. Opposition governors

Sources said that during today’s meeting between President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and governors , everything is ready for the President to reject the demands made by PAN governors, who will attempt to build a new fiscal pact that allows them to obtain more resources; moreover, they will ask Dr. Hugo López-Gatell to resign. The plan is to avoid a frontal confrontation with the help of Morena, PRI, and a few PAN governors to discuss other issues during the meeting. Moreover, the President and cabinet members will have the microphone the majority of the time.

Lozoya’s strategy could be useful

Guillermo Gutiérrez

Badillo, one of the two former Senate workers who appear on a scandalous video leaked over the weekend, has nothing to worry about because once the Attorney General’s Office calls him to testify in connection with the millions he counts in the video, he could use Lozoya’s tactic. Sources said he could accept he received money from Lozoya ’s aides but that he was “systematically intimidated, pressures, and instrumentalized” by his former boss, Querétaro governor Francisco Domínguez. If Guillermo Gutiérrez uses the same strategy as Emilio Lozoya, he might be free, wearing an ankle monitor, and revealing a lot of information.

The PAN is looking for a savior

The PAN suffered a major blow on Monday when two people linked to the conservative party were exposed receiving bribes in a video. On Tuesday, party leader Marko Cortés met with former goalkeeper Moisés Muñoz. Sources said Muñoz could be an external lawmaker candidate during the 2021 election. Nevertheless, the upcoming accusations Lozoya will make against PAN members will need more than a goalkeeper.

Bribes in times of elections

PAN leader Marko Cortés had a virtual meeting with state leaders, where he told them not to be discouraged by the video released on YouTube, which involves Guillermo Gutiérrez Badillo and Rafael Caraveo. Cortés told fellow PAN members that the video is the federal government’s attempt to harm the conservative party now that the 2021 elections are near. Sources said although the video could be used for political purposes, the thing is two people linked to the PAN were recorded receiving bribes.
