The crack that doesn’t want to be sutured
Claudia Sheinbaum has just made it clear that she does not intend to walk around with hot towels. In the National Palace, in front of the microphones, he completely ignored the “scar operation” proposed by Ricardo Monreal, the coordinator of Morena in Deputies. The reason? The fracture with the Green Party and the PT after the rejection of parts of the electoral Plan B.
The president was direct, almost cutting:
“I don’t know what scar needs to be made, to be honest. I don’t know what Ricardo Monreal means by this.”
For her, the essentials have already been done. He insisted that the most important part – reducing privileges – has already been approved. The rest, such as the revocation of the mandate that did not pass, remains in the hands of the party and its allies.
“It depends on Morena how the alliances are going to be established, and on the three parties that supported me to become President.”
The call of the Green: dialogue, not surgery
While Sheinbaum downplays the rift, the Green Party asks to sit down and talk. Its coordinator, Manuel Velasco Coello, also rejected the term “operation scar”, but recognized the obvious: the alliance needs to rebuild itself.
“Not a scar operation, but it is necessary that there be rapprochements and there can be dialogue between the leaders to be able to walk on the path to 2027,” said Velasco Coello.
The message is clear: there are wounds to attend to before thinking about the 2027 elections. The Chiapas legislator even suggested that the channel for this urgent dialogue should be the Government.
Here is political theater at its finest. Sheinbaum lowers the curtain discussing what has been achieved. His allies raise their hands asking for an intermission to fix the broken sets. The question now is who is right about what this coalition really needs: a little time or stitches?
