Senators Debate on Nepotism and Governorships

The senator mentioned that he has always been against re-election, but had to run again due to external pressures. He stated that it is important to listen to the opinion of the people before making any decision about his participation in the Morena polls for a possible candidacy.

On the other hand, the senator from the Green Party, Ruth González Silva, expressed her willingness to participate in the Morena poll if requested by the citizens, with the intention of being the governor of San Luis Potosí. In this sense, the importance of complying with the nepotism prohibition until 2030 was highlighted, despite the deadline being extended.

Additionally, members of Morena and the Green Party expressed their willingness to run for governorships in 2027, even against the recommendations of President Claudia Sheinbaum to avoid nepotism. The politicians emphasized their commitment to political challenges and their willingness to take on new responsibilities if the people decide so.

In the case of Saúl Monreal, a senator seeking to succeed his brother in the government of Zacatecas, he mentioned that he would be present in the Morena polls, demonstrating his confidence in the process. He was questioned about respecting President Claudia Sheinbaum's stance and the possible replacement of family members in political positions, to which he responded that he would be open to the decision made by the citizens.

In summary, various politicians expressed their interest in participating in the Morena polls for future candidacies, always under the premise of listening to the voice of the people and respecting the internal regulations of the parties. The general idea is the willingness to take on new political challenges if demanded by the citizens.
