From Santiago, they inform this editorial that the project continues to accompany De la Garza, who, by the way, has been with De la Peña in recent hours. Indeed, the state-level PRI-PAN alliance appears to be without cracks and is united by a competitive candidate in polls and with national lobbying that culminates at the National Palace.
«If Adrián is going to be the citizen candidate for PAN, can't we offer Romero a citizen candidate who comes from MC and not PRI?» This is how Alejandro Junco De la Vega, the editor-in-chief, perceived it in recent days. At a meeting with businessmen, he asked about the possibility of Morena governing in 2027 and was told that MC should not be left out of the equation.
Now, the energy is focused on, at all costs, dismantling the alliance between PRI and PAN. Although in recent private talks there is a greater affinity with the senator, for the bulk of the current staff, promoting Colosio would be almost a scenario of defeat.
By the way: it is no less striking that yesterday, Thursday, Deputy Sandra Pámanes had to appear to defend the former mayor in the metro controversy, while the MC councilors in the Monterrey city council exhibit absolute silence on the matter.
In any case, MC's Plan C also includes a nod to the state's business community, where a more benevolent atmosphere towards the current administration is beginning to emerge, they slip from the Palace of Cantera.
The citizen option also serves the goal of preventing Colosio from monopolizing the viability of the PAN-MC alliance. According to sources, there is an initial agreement with two profiles whose names remain in absolute secrecy but who could run in both the gubernatorial race and in Monterrey.
The most important piece of information: the state's ruling party is exploring an option that it can put on the table to tempt PAN and dismantle the alliance with PRI. All kinds of negotiations are being carried out so that on November 9th, both Jorge Romero and Santiago Taboada accompany the governor at his report.
MC is preparing a citizen-business option for 2027, a kind of Plan C parallel to the projects of Mariana Rodríguez and Senator Luis Donaldo Colosio. A photo with national actors to destabilize the local assembly.
Negotiations are also underway with PRI, where they recommend Alejandro Moreno Cárdenas break with his local partners and launch a gubernatorial candidate on their own, without an alliance, preferably the state official Karina Barrón or mayor David De la Peña.
«And what about the United States? Won't it play a role in the election?» they ask in the orange camp, awaiting some event that could dismantle what looks immovable. For now, it's just rumors and hearsay that have gained strength since Tuesday night, when Governor Samuel García dined in Mexico City with Ambassador Ronald Johnson.
