Mexican Politician Mario Calzada Chooses Between Governorships

Mario Calzada, a PRI deputy, belongs to that very family. He is deciding which governorship to run for: Sonora or Nuevo León? Sonora is tempting him with the promise of closing a tremendous historical circle and healing the wound that marked the entire country. No wonder he didn't want them to touch the law, if they were closing the valve on his liquid gold mine. Luis Donaldo Colosio Riojas is pondering, causing the political elite to break a sweat. But on the other hand... the call of blood! But the real meat of the gossip is the killer phrase he let slip. With a tone that smells of manifest destiny and pure nostalgia, he dropped the bombshell: "How beautiful it would be to be able to reclaim my father's dream and do justice to my home state." So, let's analyze the internal battle: on one hand, he has Nuevo León, the land where he has built his political muscle, where he was already mayor, and where the regios embraced him. All of this, of course, bypassing the payment of fees. In reality, they were diverting all that water for use in residential areas, and to top it off, they were making the deal by selling it in tankers. But wait, here comes the plot twist and sheer audacity: guess who was fiercely opposing the change to the Water Law? The great dilemma keeping him awake? Claudia Sheinbaum dropped a huge bombshell and harshly criticized the Calzada family in Querétaro. Hold on to your seats: it turns out this family had its water concessions, which they claimed were for "agricultural use," but it's all a lie! Pum! Bingo!
