A group of 88 senators of all political forces released a document in which they express their support for Ricardo Monreal Avila, in the face of attacks by the governor of Campeche, Layda Sansores.
The senators expressed their disagreement with Sansores and accused her of using public resources illegally.
“We express our solidarity with Senator Ricardo Monreal Ávila before a government that uses public resources for persecution and harassment in a systematic, illegal and unpunished manner.”
They argued that it is unacceptable for Sansores to intervene and alter private conversations to vilify citizens.
“We repudiate both the methods and the governor’s statements. We find it unacceptable that he intervenes and alters private communications and that from power he makes use of them to vilify citizens,” reads the statement signed by senators from all the blocs.

Monreal vs Layda
The rivalry between the Morenoites began when the governor of Campeche announced in her program Martes del Jaguar, some alleged messages between Alejandro Moreno Cárdenas, leader of the PRI; and the senator of Morena.
According to these messages, Ricardo Monreal helped “Alito,” as the PRI leader is known, defend himself against the accusations of money laundering and illicit enrichment that the Campeche Prosecutor’s Office made against Moreno Cárdenas.
The governor branded Monreal a traitor and used his influence to help his friend.
Faced with the accusations, Monreal filed an amparo and a criminal complaint to prevent Sansores from continuing to mention him in his program; And although he won a provisional suspension, the governor ignored him and accused him of having more than 40 properties.
