Marko Cortés assured that the PAN will be victorious in 2024: “It is in our hands”

Marko Cortes, leader of the National Action Party (PAN), said that the blue and whites are “the most moved forward opposition” to the administration of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) and said that they will overthrow the National Regeneration Movement (Morena) in 2024.

During the virtual meeting of the National Council on Saturday, March 26, the national leader of the PAN mentioned that Mexico “is in one of the worst moments in history.” Cortés also argued his remarks by recalling the statement that López Obrador released to the European Parliament and the recent meetings of the Mexico-Russia Friendship Group, in which legislators from the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), Labor (PT) and Morena participated.

“We have been, in contrast, the opposition that knows how to govern from the local level, which knows how to give results and set an example, the opposition that knows how to point out and that knows how to criticize, but also knows how to propose, the opposition that despite being insulted and persecuted is always ready to build for the higher good of the nation”

However, among what he highlighted at that meeting were Cortés's comments about the upcoming presidential elections, as Cortes said that the PAN is building “step by step” its victory by 2024.

“We are building step by step the victory by 2024, and it will be given election after election, decision after decision, because today the future of Mexico and the viability of democracy is clearly in our hands,” said the national leader of the PAN.

Among his statements, Cortés took advantage of his intervention to launch himself against the Mandate Revocation consultation. In his criticism, the leader of the PAN said that the democratic exercise promoted by López Obrador is aimed at “measuring its popularity and violating the law.”

“While families are struggling to survive, the government doesn't mind throwing 500 million pesos in the trash to prove its self-centered and misrepresented Mandate Revocation, continue to campaign, measure its popularity and despise the law,” he said.

With regard to the presidential elections of 2024, on March 3, Marko Cortes gave names about who could represent the blue and whites.

In a meeting with the media, Cortés stated that the PAN “has excellent governors,” as well as praised the work of several legislators “who have raised their hands” to appear on the ballots.

“This is the case of Lilly Tellez, the vice-president of the Board of Directors, Santiago Creel, who said 'I am ready if the party requires me' and what we have to do is that these leaders begin to act, to position themselves outward to show that we have enough cards and cards, not only to win the presidency of the Republic, but really for the good of governing the country,” said Marko Cortés.

However, the former candidate for the presidency of Acción Nacional in 2018, Ricardo Anaya, who reappeared on Cortés's list was the former candidate for the presidency of Acción Nacional in 2018, whom he described as a “politically persecuted”.

On the other hand, when questioned about the role played by the governors of Acción Nacional in the democratic process with which the next president of Mexico will be elected, Cortés immediately pronounced the name of the governor of Chihuahua, Maru Campos, who, according to his statements, has a “excellent profile.”

“Clearly the PAN has options, we have the alternative to be able to make things right in Mexico because it is not about winning by winning but with whom to win for the good of governing,” he said.
