Senator Ricardo Monreal warned that the limit of his stay in Morena is dignity and that, if they continue to exclude him, he has nothing to do in the party.
He said he hopes that the leadership, which is in charge of Mario Delgado, will correct and in the future will not exclude him from participation, despite the fact that he is not mentioned in the “club of the elected” since the morning conferences.
“So far it means I’m going to fight to win inside. So far there has been no other element that forces me to leave, and I have said that the limit of my stay in Morena is dignity. If it continues to be excluded, I have nothing to do,” he said on tour of Guanajuato.
The also president of the Political Coordination Board (Jucopo) asked that there be an even floor among the presidential aspirants of Morena.
