The one who’s “gotten nostalgic” in Sinaloa, we’re told, is the former mayor of Mazatlán, Luis Guillermo Benítez Torres (Morena), who is facing charges for the irregular purchase of 1,139 LED streetlights without a bidding process during his term. We hear that Mr. Benítez is “trying to make a move” to appear in the next elections, even if only as an advisor, so he posted a video on his social media in which he continues to play the victim, claiming it’s all political revenge, and laments not having visited “his friend” Andrés Manuel López Obrador, because he believes that would have been enough to “avoid falling from grace” or, in other words, “to seek the shade of a powerful figure,” as happens in many cases (many). Ouch!
From Zacatecas, we hear that after being anointed as one of the “defenders of Mexico” by the PRI’s national leadership, former magistrate Arturo Nahle García (PRI) “entered the electoral race with a vengeance,” not as a mere figurehead—for now—but as the mastermind behind organizing “a grand opposition alliance.” We’re told that Mr. Nahle not only has his sights set on removing Morena from power, but also the Monreal clan, as he stated that he “entered to lead the battle” because he opposes nepotism and sees the state as a disaster and a setback under the current administration, although his remarks also implicated his sister, the governor of Veracruz, Rocío Nahle (Morena). Will he manage to unite the parties to form a Tucom? How nerve-wracking!
The one who is “conspicuously absent” in his district, we are told, is the Baja California Sur representative, Sergio Polanco Salaices (Morena), as he hasn’t deigned to attend to residents who “knock on his door” and ask for his support in the fierce battle they are waging against the Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation (SICT) over a highway construction project that—they claim—has caused several accidents. Although the state government agreed with the federal government to suspend the work to review the design, we are told that the construction company continued as if nothing had happened, and even the state Civil Protection agency closed the section, but the seals didn’t last even 24 hours, so they sought Mr. Sergio’s intervention, who “just ignored them.” Imagine that!
