Mexico.- President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) received deputies and senators of Morena and their allies in National Palacel to thank you for voting in favor of the ‘Plan B’ of electoral reform.
With the absence of Morenista Ricardo Monreal, who voted against the initiative, AMLO expressed his appreciation to the legislators of Brunette, PT and PVEM for his “loyalty” to the 4Tbetween shouts of “It is an honor to be with Obrador!”.
“This is an act of recognition to youis an act that implies how women, men like you, legislators, assert a word, a term, a concept that is fundamental: loyalty,” AMLO said, applauded by the morenistas.
“Those who speak of loyalty without having principles or ideals at first betrayThey do not resist the temptations of power, that is why the best thing is loyalty to the project, loyalty to the people, loyalty to ideals, loyalty to principles, loyalty to the transformation that we are carrying out, and you have acted in an exemplary manner in this sense”, stressed the president.
Two years after the end of his six-year term, López Obrador asked the legislators of the 4T to always put their principles before political effectiveness, that is, never attempt against the benefit of the people.
Legislators from Morena, PT, and the Green Party lined up for two hours to enter the National Palace, during which time AMLO supporters handed out cheers and asked for photos.
The great absentee was Ricardo Monreal, leader of Morena in the Senate, who voted against ‘Plan B’ of the electoral reform for considering several of its points unconstitutional and regressive. In this regard, the attendees affirmed that the absence of the Zacatecan does not affect them at all, since they are clear about his loyalty to López Obrador.
“Monreal does not affect us because the majority of the group is clear with the president and we saw it right now with the vote, Osorio Chong still said that there would be 12 votes from Morena against and there were only two,” minimized the spokesman for the senators from Brunette, Cesar Craviotowho refused to answer if he agreed with Monreal continuing in parliamentary coordination.
In this sense, they also denied that the “eternal life” clause of the electoral reform, which implies the transfer of votes to allied parties so that they maintain their registry and their surplus budget, was illegal, despite the fact that AMLO asked to withdraw those articles, threatening to veto the reform.
“It was a distortion to build a smokescreen of the substance of the matter, which was to guarantee more democratic, more austere processes,” said the coordinator of the Morena deputies, Ignacio Mier.
When taking the floor, Mier stressed to the president that they managed to approve various reforms to consolidate the 4T, a task that was not easy, since it always implies “fighting against vested interests.”
“We have managed to consolidate the Fourth Transformation In this legislative year, we did it decisively, convinced, with all the elements that the legitimacy of your government gave us,” the Morenista remarked.
