Francisco Labastida former presidential candidate, stated that the president Enrique Peña Nieto is one of the leaders of the debacle of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), after the results July 1 elections
"President Peña is responsible for the debacle of the PRI, the change in the statutes has generated the entrance of a valuable people, principles, but this has not been well accepted. So much so that deputies and senators have taken more votes (than Meade), "said Labastida Tuesday in an interview for Grupo Fórmula .
For this reason he assured that José Antonio Meade was not well received in the ranks of the tricolor flag.
The PRI reformed its statutes to allow the appointment of a compassionate citizen for the presidency of the Republic in 2018, and eliminated the requirement of 10 years for activists with presidential aspirations.
Jose Antonio Meade was the presidential candidate of this party and got third place in the last election, where Andrés Manuel López Obrador was the winner. In addition, the PRI lost 35.1% of its municipal governments. Of the 612 town halls that have been renewed, the PRI has won 447 town halls. On the other hand, the PRI should stay with 42 of the 204 legislators it has today.
Labastida pointed out that one of the mistakes was not to replace immediately Enrique Ochoa Reza former PRI national leader, by René Juárez Cisneros .
Ochoa Reza was President of the National Executive Committee of the tricolor from July 2016 to May 2018. On Monday, Juárez Cisneros resigned as leader of the said political party and ceded to Claudia Ruiz Massieu who occupied the general secretariat.
