Félix Salgado calls to avoid confrontations in Morena after Saúl Monreal's remarks: I will not fight for a position
Senator Félix Salgado Macedonio distanced himself from any suggestion of competing for a gubernatorial candidacy in Guerrero, emphasizing that he does not engage in disputes for positions within the party.
Senator Félix Salgado Macedonio has publicly distanced himself from any notions of contention within the Morena party regarding a potential candidacy for the governorship of Guerrero. During a livestream on Facebook, Salgado expressed that he is not interested in competing for political positions, emphasizing, "I am not a position seeker". This statement comes in response to comments made by fellow senator Saúl Monreal Ávila, who hinted at a possible exclusionary policy within Morena that could affect his own aspirations for the governorship of Zacatecas.
Salgado referred to Monreal’s comments about political maneuvering and the potential for candidates to shift party allegiance if they do not receive a nomination. He noted that Monreal hinted at his brother, Ricardo Monreal’s, past experience with the PRI, where he was not nominated and subsequently succeeded after switching parties. This context illustrates the internal party dynamics that may influence candidate selection and highlights the tensions within Morena.
The exchange between Salgado and Monreal underscores the ongoing struggles within Morena as it approaches critical electoral periods. Salgado's refusal to engage in disputes over political positions may be seen as an attempt to foster unity within the party while avoiding the pitfalls of intra-party competition that have plagued many political groups in Mexico. The implications of these dynamics could shape the future political landscape in Guerrero and Zacatecas as both senators navigate their ambitions within the broader context of party politics.
