Carlos Miguel Aysa ratified former PRI as Morena's new deputy to support Electricity Reform

Between whispers and a couple of cries of “sold”, Carlos Miguel Aysa Damas arrived in San Lázaro this Sunday. After announcing that he would vote in favor of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's controversial Electric Reform, members of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) accused him of treason, however, the National Regeneration Movement party (Morena) ratified him as a new member of its bench in the Chamber of Deputies.

On Saturday night, Morena's deputies met at a hotel in Mexico City prior to the vote on the Electric Reform; at that council, the coordinator of the cherry party in the Chamber of Deputies, Ignacio Mier, introduced Carlos Miguel Aysa, who until last Wednesday was a member of the bench of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).

Likewise, the Guanajuato deputy Emmanuel Reyes Carmona confirmed through his Twitter account the appointment of Carlos Miguel Aysa as a new member of the National Regeneration Movement party (Morena).

Carlos Miguel Aysa Damas will vote in favor of Andrés Manuel López Obrador's Electric Reform. Through social networks, the politician said he made the “decision to vote in favor of the good of Mexico.” The position of Aysa Damas came after on April 10, in the framework of the Mandate Revocation consultation, PRI President Alejandro Moreno Cárdenas pointed out that the bancada del tricolor would vote against the constitutional reform of tabasqueño.

Given this, the party leader described the federal deputy as a “traitor to the country” and sent the following message through his social networks: “The democracy gives undeserved opportunities to disloyal people. Today, Carlos Miguel Aysa Damas betrays the PRI and betrays Mexico. Neither an Embassy, nor bribes, nor blackmail will be enough to look head-on to the nation it has betrayed.”

In addition, tricolor legislators warned that the decision of their bench mate will have consequences, including the expulsion of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).

Carlos Miguel Aysa Damas's change of position also led the deputies of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) to ask the Senate of the Republic to reject the appointment of their father, Carlos Miguel Aysa González, as ambassador of Mexico to the Dominican Republic.

In a statement, the legislators of the Institutional Revolutionary described Aysa González as a character co-opted by the Morena Regeneration Movement government in exchange for impunity, since, they assured, he handed over the state of Campeche, where he was governor, to the current administration.

Therefore, they called on the senators of the Va por México alliance, made up of the tricolor, the National Action Party (PAN) and the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD), to vote against the appointment of Aysa González as ambassador, “which was frozen by Morena in commissions until her son would support the electric bill,” they added.

Although the response of the legislators of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) was overwhelming, for their part the deputies of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena) endorsed and applauded Carlos Miguel Aysa's decision to vote in favor of the Electricity Reform.

Among those who supported the tricolor deputy was the message from MP Layda Sansores, who said that the deputy had leaned to the right side of history by supporting Andrés Manuel López Obrador's electric reform and called on him to be proud.

In turn, the deputy of the cherry party, Miguel Torruco Garza, who has also called for the defense of lithium through the Electric Reform, celebrated in this case that the vote in favor of the Reformation next Sunday is a sign of “patriotic conviction” and a “lesson in civility”.

Similarly, political analyst and Morena supporter Abraham Mendieta celebrated that Aysa rebelled in favor of the Reformation and called for a transformation of the “way of doing politics.”

“One of PRI's youngest MPs, Carlos Aysa, rebels: he will vote in favor of the Electricity Reform. It's time to transform the way we do politics, congratulations”, published the analyst.
