President Andrés Manuel López Obrador He does not lose hope that the federal deputies and senators of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) will change their minds and decide to approve his initiative for constitutional reform on electricity, which is being analyzed by the Congress of the Union.
“I would be glad if they rectified. It’s wise change your mind, even the stones change their way of appearing, ” said AMLO during his morning conference when they asked him if the PRI’s statements Rubén Moreira, coordinator of the PRI bench in the Chamber of Deputies, in the sense that the party has already kicked the neoliberalism that was imposed on them and is now from the center-left, it can be interpreted as that they will support their proposal to electrical reform.
“Let’s wait, let’s not rule it out,” said the first president of the National Palace.
In the case of the PAN, he said, it is more difficult for them to decide to approve his initiative, but not in the case of the PRI because to vote against would be “to refuse completely, it is to go against its principles, its ideals; it is treason. How good that they are considering this and the possibility of rectifying “.
“Let’s not rule out that they run away (to be center-left) because Salinas took them to the right, but to the extreme right. Well, he joined them to PAN. ”
From his point of view, it would be “very good” for the PRI members to rectify; They are moments of definitions and I hope they will support the electrical reform. That would help more than a thousand pronouncements that they are revolutionaries, that they are democrats, that they are centrists; facts, not words”.
Vote against the electricity reform on the part of the PRI, he said, is to oppose the “thought and action that was put into practice at the time by Adolfo López Materos, of the PRI, which nationalized the electricity industry. This is not even nationalizing the electricity industry because 46% of the market is being left to private initiative, and 54% to the public sector to guarantee the right to electricity at fair prices because it cannot be privatized, as they wanted , the electrical industry.
“So, if they vote against this reform, they are betraying the origins of that party. Is to betray Lazaro Cardenas, a Adolfo López Mateos, is to continue maintaining as political and moral chief Carlos Salinas de Gortari. So, it’s interesting, you have to take them at their word… The PRI has so far had four stages; they could inaugurate the fifth, ” he said.
Finally, he announced that his initiative to electrical reform It will be discussed in the Congress of the Union during the first months of 2022.
