The inescapable question: To what extent is it beneficial for the president that Samuel, now as a federal deputy, has three years to travel across Mexico with a view to 2030? This enigma hides the answers for 2027 and beyond because, unlike Alejandro Moreno Cárdenas, the governor of this northern entity, he has a capacity for growth and national resilience that sets him apart from the image of controlled, consequence-free laboratory explosions.
Dante Delgado's reappearance on stage in Nuevo León this Sunday, with a first stop in Jalisco last Thursday, had as its primary mission to lower the intensity of the conversations underway between Cantera Palace and the PAN with the horizon of forming an alliance in 2027.
Delgado, who returned from a complex personal situation, is of sound mind and understood that in a context of apparent distance from public life—while the PAN embraces Adrián De la Garza, the governor doesn't even mention the institute in his report—under the radar, conversations are moving at great speed and, for now, only face the obstacle represented by Senator Luis Donaldo Colosio: the PAN accepts the alliance only with Colosio at the helm, while the state executive rejects that possibility.
The former MC leader was precise in stating that the orange party must proceed without an alliance and, in principle, has two allies who generate antibodies against each other: Colosio himself, who in private no longer seems so convinced of a partnership with the PAN, and guru Rafael Valenzuela, who also doesn't see great advantages in that merger.
This opinion of Delgado was expressed in a series of private conversations he had on Sunday after Samuel García's report.
Delgado understands that part of the alliance negotiation consists of using the state government to gain a stronger position in talks with the National Palace, especially regarding the World Cup and even more so on the thorny path of files and judicial trials whose main decisions are made in Mexico City.
Beyond this cupola pragmatism, Delgado is convinced that the PAN has no figures in this northern state and is only trying to take advantage of the profiles that MC has, something that pollster Lorena Becerra, who advises the orange party, also endorses.
The former leader is convinced that Colosio can win Nuevo León without allying with the PAN, achieve a peace agreement with the current governor, and perhaps most decisively, with his decision, convince De la Garza to seek re-election in Monterrey out of fear of a new setback.
Dante's reappearance stirs theories within the national PAN, the most recent of which states that the main driver of Delgado's decision to attack the alliance is not political but judicial, and that it relates to judicial vulnerabilities in his immediate circle that are maximized by the National Palace.
And after all, it is impossible to analyze all of 2027 without contemplating the main conversation between Samuel García and Claudia Sheinbaum.
