After a weary-looking Humberto Moreira stepped down as PRI leader yesterday, after only nine stormy months on the job, the PRI's big shots simply "decided" that the new party president will be Pedro Joaquín Coldwell. He is a senator from Quintana Roo, where he was governor before being secretary of tourism 90-93 for Carlos Salinas.
Secretary general Cristina Díaz was sworn in as interim president, but it will be just that - Coldwell will replace her soon.
Ernesto Cordero, on his quixotic quest for the PAN nomination, notably wanted his part of the credit - "I was the first to accuse him!"
PAN and PRD are not content with his mere renunciation, given the Coahuila debt and likely fraud scandal. PAN warned PRI to not give Moreira a senate or deputy seat, which would grant him immunity for persecution.
