The evolution of Jorge Santos' personal situation complicates his political strategy. In this scenario, Luis Donaldo Colosio is also mentioned, who has rekindled his relationship with Governor Samuel García and plays an acceptable role as a senator. There is a possibility that Adrián De la Garza, the mayor of Monterrey, may withdraw his candidacy to become the state attorney if an alliance with the PAN is not achieved.
At a recent meeting at the home of an important publisher, two polls were revealed that show the great prominence of Morena ahead of the gubernatorial election. Although there was previously talk of a possible partnership between the PRI and the PAN, there is now consideration of a merger between the PRI and MC. Alejandro Moreno Cárdenas' figure has lost ground in this area following the last presidential election.
The option of combining the PAN with MC to unify the middle-class vote and confront Morena is being contemplated, although there is still no defined candidate for this formula. The name of Mayor Mauricio Fernández was discussed, even backed by his historical opponent, Fernando Elizondo.
Businessmen seem to prefer De la Garza's law enforcement aspect over politics. Regarding the relationship between the business class and Morena, it is currently more transactional than ideological. Local tycoons have supported the Government in its conflict with Washington; however, they expect greater recognition in return.
The business class maintains dialogue with figures such as Senator Waldo Fernández, Mayor Andrés Mijes, and Clara Luz Flores. Recently, key meetings were held that will define changes in the authorities of Caintra NL.
