The results of the first screening were only accepted by PAN members Santiago Creel and Xóchitl Gálvez and PRI members Enrique de la Madrid and Beatriz Paredes (Beatriz Paredes) took over, causing divisions in the PRD leadership, which will announce on Thursday whether to remain in the opposition coalition.
Aureoles condemned Organization Committee The day before the official announcement, he informed him that he had complied with the request to raise 150,000 sympathies over the phone; however, the next day they told him at the last minute that he had not complied with the request to disperse it to 17 entities.

Faced with the elimination of the internal competition for the presidential candidate, the former governor of Michoacan asked the Revolutionary Democratic Party to withdraw from the Broad Front organizing committee to express dissent.
“I’m going to ask for a technical audit, a computer audit of the process, because it’s very suspicious, very strange. The platform took six days to start working and there was a permanent glitch, it was difficult to connect to or use the platform. I Don’t trust suppliers, technically we need opinions,” he charged.
Moreover, just minutes after formally announcing the four contenders for the second round of internal proceedings, presidential candidate and Senator Mancella expressed dissatisfaction with the results.
“They don’t hurt people, they hurt the process itself, that’s undisputed, and if it continues like this, hopefully it will be corrected, rethought and valued; currently, due to considerations and Standard changes, I have a disagreement,” he said.
Minutes before the official announcement, the organizing committee informed him that 7,000 sympathy points corresponding to citizens with ties to other political parties were deducted, the lawmaker explained at Senate headquarters. An estimated 80,000 supporters of citizens in similar situations are registered on the platform.

The former head of government in Mexico City revealed that DDP national leader Jesús Zambrano said he disagreed with the decision to exclude the two DDP candidates from the coalition’s internal procedures.
The decision to exclude the DDP’s only two front candidates for now forced the party’s leadership to meet last night to discuss their durability in the opposition coalition.
This Thursday at 10:30 a.m. Zambrano will announce his position on the matter with the Representative Coordinator, Luis Espinosa ChazaroMansella and Halo.
It is not the first time that members of the Democratic Party have disagreed with a decision by the majority party of the opposition coalition. Zambrano threatened to break the alliance in January when PAN member Marko Cortés and PRI member Alejandro Moreno announced a so-called deal to share the 2023 and 2024 candidatures.

Arturo Sánchez, a member of the organizing committee, explained that the data collected by Aureoles, Mancera and García Cabeza de Vaca Citizen Support did not meet the criteria of the appeal, so they were disqualified from participating in the internal process.

Verify that the photo of the voter ID was taken, that there were no errors that made us think the person wasn’t there or their photo wasn’t recognized. That’s why we got these numbers, they’re different,” he explained.
