Yesterday Humberto Moreira took a long-anticipated licensia, best regarded a "leave of absence," to "campaign" for the PRI presidency. The quotation marks represent just that: Given that no competitor exists for the position, this is most definitely a shoe-in, or a "candidate of unity" as the priístas have called it.
Yesterday Milenio revealed the enormous debt that most outgoing PRI governors leave behind; today, Ciro Gómez Leyva in his column repeated the theme, looking specifically at Moreira, who endowed the state with a minimum of 8 billion pesos debt, plus 5 billion more for a credit line approved by the PRI-dominant state congress, and likely billions more for local suppliers to the government.
(Gómez Leyva in turn refers to a column by Fernando Royo well worth reading).
(In addition, Moreira arguably deliberately underfunded Torreón, in the hands of the opposition PAN until mayor José Ángel Pérez Hernández stepped down this year, replaced by Eduardo Olmos Castro of the PRI.)
In Moreira's carefully constructed façade, cracks seem to appear.
