In a recent incident in Chilpancingo, Guerrero, Alejandro 'Alito' Moreno, the national leader of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) in Mexico, publicly lambasted Jorge Álvarez Máynez, the head of the Ciudadano Movement, after a scuffle that took place during Máynez's visit. Moreno accused Máynez of showing cowardice by fleeing the scene, noting that instead of displaying leadership, he chose to escape, even pushing aside a local party leader to get into his vehicle as quickly as possible. Moreno's comments have stoked tensions between the two factions as they prepare for the upcoming elections.
