Manuel Velasco, a senator of the Republic, denied threatening Alejandro Moreno, the national leader of the PRI, in a phone call.
The senator regretted that Moreno released a phone call in which he allegedly delivers a message from Adán Augusto López, Secretary of the Interior.
“Unfortunately the content was distorted, since at no time did I threaten anyone, on the contrary, I reflected and shared my opinion as in all the conversations we have both had, being at all times respectful of their decisions.”
Through his Twitter account, Manuel Velasco said that Moreno violated the trust between the two by recording it without his consent. In addition, he said that for 20 years he has been holding talks with the PRI leader.
TO THE PUBLIC:
I have had private talks with Alejandro Moreno for more than 20 years, such as this call that he decided to record without my consent, violating trust by doing so unilaterally and where I spoke in a personal capacity. (1/3).

The former governor of Chiapas said that all the conversations made with Moreno have been in a personal capacity.
This, after the leader of the PRI revealed an audio in which the senator of the PVEM – a party allied to Morena – tells him that he was in a meeting with President Andrés Manuel López Obrador; and the Secretary of the Interior, Adán Augusto López, in which it was said that there would be reprisals against him if he did not support the electricity reform.
“(Adam Augustus) talked to his boss there in front of me, ok? This one, that if you didn’t pull that they are going to leave with everything, “says Velasco.
After the controversy generated by audios that show alleged conversations of his, the leader of the PRI, @alitomorenoc, revealed a conversation with the senator of the PVEM @VelascoM_, which, he says, proves that there is a “persecution” against him by the government of @lopezobrador_. pic.twitter.com/5MAasU1mDf

In recent weeks, Alejandro Cárdenas has been in the eye of the hurricane due to various audios leaked by the governor of Campeche, the Morenoite Layda Sansores, where allegedly the leader of the PRI received 25 million pesos for electoral campaigns by Cinépolis.
He also leaked an audio in which the voice of the PRI leader is allegedly heard saying: “Namás I’m going to give you a fact: journalists should not be shot dead, Dad, you have to starve them to death.”
