While everyone took it calmly, even with indifference, annoyance is growing within the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) over the insistence of its allied party not to distance itself from the central state projects. This is understandable: the 'albiazul' (PAN) does not want to be limited to bastions like San Pedro and San Nicolás, as well as congressional seats, and seeks to drive up the price for ceding Monterrey and the governorship; while the 'tricolor' (PRI) is advancing central projects with a wide variety of candidates and electoral handicaps, something the PAN lacks. This tension caused by Margáin Sada's incursion adds to the pressure from the private meeting between the state PAN leader, Policarpo Flores, Governor Samuel García, and his wife Mariana Rodríguez. The PAN is trying to show that it has an opportunity to dilute the alliance with the PRI, as was done at the national level, in response to the alleged approach of Adrián De la Garza with 4T actors in his reports, such as Senator Judith Díaz, or mayors like Andrés Mijes or Manuel Guerra. On the other hand, both factions are also holding tough negotiations within the opposition over budget issues. Despite the coordination between the PRI and PAN, disputes over various positions continue within the Crystal Palace. Issues such as INFO NL, the Judiciary, the Prosecutor's Office, and the resource allocation to municipalities are causing friction in prior negotiations between the PRI and PAN before applying pressure at the Cantera Palace. In recent weeks, the head of the Monterrey cabinet, Fernando Margáin Sada — the key PAN figure in the capital — has positioned himself as a candidate for mayor or governor for the 'albiazul', which has disrupted the 'tricolor's' mood. According to information LPO was able to obtain, the official approached the leaders of both parties to show his willingness to lead a project from the PAN.
