The opposing senator from CDMX, Cynthia López Castro, resigned from the PRI during a press conference where she launched criticisms towards Alito Moreno, her former leader. She expressed her intention to move forward with a strategy of union with Manlio Fabio Beltrones.
In her statements, López Castro mentioned her independence and free vote in the coming months. There is talk of a possible union with Morena or the formation of a new bloc with Beltrones. The senator lamented the lack of listening to party members by the PRI leadership, arguing her resignation as a response.
Her absence in the vote regarding the "constitutional supremacy" proposed by Morena was noticeable and contributed to the partial approval of that measure. Alito Moreno still fails to gain control within the party, and López Castro expressed her disillusionment in not seeing her values and principles reflected in the current party situation.
There is speculation about the possibility that her movement will generate a new parliamentary bloc in the Senate, although a minimum of five members is required, and for now, it only has the support of Beltrones. Despite discontent with the 4T during the campaign, it is ruled out that she will join any of the existing forces in the Senate.
There is uncertainty about the next steps the senator will take, and the possibility of negotiations with discontented figures from other parties is mentioned. Her resignation adds to the controversy in Congress and raises questions about her political future.
