the candidate (José Antonio Meade), neither the party president (Enrique Ochoa) nor the coordinator (Aurelio Nuño) had elaborated electoral process, had not participated in any election. CARP is not hurt by political death, and although "it will take years to get up", they will be the first force, the seven members of the PRI agreed that Excelior interviewed separately. However, Labastida warned that for this, there must be "a refoundation to improve", which begins by changing the methods of selection of candidates, because it caused "serious problems" in the last election.

He stressed that, without giving him a lot of tricks, they should resume their vocation of center-left and their fundamental banners, once defined by Luis Donaldo Colosio: "internal democracy."

"What I believe is that we must come back, as discussed in 2017, to a very simple approach, to the consultation of the bases, to the internal democracy, which are the bases that determine the positions of leadership and the elective functions "

Senator Jesus Casillas Romero diverged on the cataloging that Meade was" the mistake of the PRI ", because it ensured that he had been elected by agreements, but he accused the former party chairman Ochoa Reza and the internal leaders of electing candidates by "dedazo", ignoring the militants who were "offended." 19659004] "The candidate (Meade) was good, but he is one of the 18,000 of those who were in the game: we are talking about governors, senators, MPs, municipal presidents, res and administrators, what was the process to designate them? Power groups have begun to monopolize nominations, which were not the most profitable, and that's the result, "said the legislator, who led the Meade campaign in Nayarit.

Meanwhile, MP Martha Sofía Tamayo, who PRI chief of PRI's Justice Commission suspended the activist's rights to teacher Elba Esther Gordillo in 2005, said that the error It was not to prosecute the "excesses of some of our members", to dismiss the rulers and corrupt officials.

PRI's amendments to its by-laws have resulted in citizen nominations, one in three is young, and in this regard, CEN's Technical Secretary, Senator Ernesto Gándara, pointed out that in this regard period of reflection and self-criticism that passes through the PRI, the goal is to go "a lot".
