Ricardo Monreal plans retirement from politics

Ricardo Monreal, Morena's coordinator in San Lázaro, is accelerating his retirement process from national politics. He intends to step down in exchange for maintaining influence and power for his inner circle at both local and federal levels.


Ricardo Monreal plans retirement from politics

According to LPO, his statements are already backed by actions, as the zacatecano (a person from Zacatecas) is reportedly working on a retirement plan that would involve a series of political negotiations and agreements to secure power quotas for his closest team. In the capital, they do not rule out that he will attempt to return to the mayor's office, which could be part of the negotiations. The zacatecano seeks to secure power quotas for his closest team both locally in Zacatecas and at the federal level. Another figure in this strategy is the current Secretary of Government of Zacatecas, Rodrigo Reyes, a man who is in the deputy's inner circle but works in his brother's government, current Governor David Monreal. To this end, they assure, the zacatecano would seek to secure power quotas for his closest team both locally in Zacatecas and at the federal level. In the ruling party, they do not rule out that he might seek a leap to the federal arena or strengthen his position in the state for the elections to come, both in 2027 and 2030. Likewise, the local deputy of Zacatecas Santos González, who also belongs to the deputy's inner circle, would be part of the negotiations because in recent years he has become an important figure in the Monrealist team. Finally, in the 4T, the name of Emiliano Gutiérrez stands out, another man who has worked with the former governor for several years. In Morena they warn of difficulties in Coahuila and anticipate a slight advance for the 4T. In this way, Monreal would advance his retirement from politics in exchange for ensuring a future far from the controversies and tensions that promise to deepen within the 4T, and at the same time, with power quotas for his closest team to maintain, in any case, a certain influence and political structure both locally in different states and at the federal level. In view of this, the zacatecano would not opt for a move to a local Congress or to participate again in CDMX. During the last few months, the coordinator of Morena in San Lázaro, Ricardo Monreal, assured that he will retire from politics in the coming years after a long career. In the 2027 elections, the spaces for Ricardo Monreal seem to be two: re-election in San Lázaro - if the 4T allows it - or his landing in the national cabinet. In this strategy, his daughter and last mayoral candidate for Cuauhtémoc for the guinda party, Catalina Monreal, mainly appears. Therefore, he sees the abandonment of his functions as a viable option. However, his team anticipates that his exit from national politics will not be free. In this way, he would abandon his responsibilities in exchange for his group maintaining a certain influence. Official sources told LPO that in recent weeks Monreal has begun to accelerate his retirement process due to a series of events he detects on the national scene. The zacatecano would seek to avoid a similar ordeal, so he does not mind leaving public office in exchange for a peaceful personal future. While awaiting re-elections, Ebrard is profiling a candidate in Xochimilco. The second are the obstacles to a possible new candidacy. The first and most important is the difficult situation his counterpart in the Senate, Adán Augusto, is going through, who is surrounded by complaints that point towards the National Palace. Another person pointed out by the coordinator to be placed in the negotiations is Antonio Luna, son of Rafael Luna, a political operator in CDMX, especially in the Álvaro Obregón mayor's office. However, these positions will be strongly determined by Claudia Sheinbaum, with whom he does not have the best relationship after the distances that arose during the last internal presidential election.
