Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum reported yesterday evening that she held a meeting with the leaders of the Morena party, Andrés López Beltrán and Luisa María Alcalde, to discuss their work at the head of the party. "I invited them, they came to talk, I hadn't seen them in a while, and essentially it has to do with the fact that they sought me out and I greeted them and that's it," she said during her morning press conference when questioned about the encounter. Sheinbaum dismissed that the meeting was related to electoral reform. "Rather, one has to be organized called Democracy and defense of the nation against the traitors, those who are going to the United States to see if they get any attention," she said. And she stressed: The proposal is people, people, people. "I am president of all Mexican women, but I listen to what they are doing, they took my opinion," she said. It is also worth remembering that a few weeks ago the party announced that it had exceeded the goal of reaching 10 million affiliates, registering a total of 11 million this January. Andy achieved 10 million affiliates but Luisa María believes that the hard vote of the 4T does not exceed 7 million. The meeting of the leaders with the president also took place in the framework of the meeting that Sheinbaum had in the same legislative venue with the parliamentary coordinators of Morena in the Congress of the Union, Adán Augusto López, and Ricardo Monreal. The latter ensured that the meeting with the Morena leaders was separate and that the meeting with the legislators was exclusively to address issues on the legislative agenda, also ruling out that electoral reform issues were addressed. He also highlighted that a forum will be organized in Congress called Authoritarianism against democracy, "who are the authoritarians?" Claudia Sheinbaum reported this Tuesday morning that yesterday afternoon she held a meeting with the leaders of Morena, Andrés López Beltrán and Luisa María Alcalde, to talk about what they are doing at the head of the party. "The part of the electoral reform continues, (there will be) meetings with the PT and the PVEM and it is carried out by the Commission together with the Secretariat of the Interior, but it will be known until tomorrow," said yesterday to the media the coordinator of the morenista deputies. This morning, the president made a long reflection on the context in which the electoral reform is taking place, focusing on the 2006 elections, which the movement led by Andrés Manuel López Obrador qualified as a fraud. In this sense, she confronted the now opponents: "All these who endorsed the fraud are now the paladins of democracy," she said ironically. "They wanted to inform me what they are doing and how they are doing it."
