In his morning press conference shortly before traveling to Cali, Colombia, to address the issue of drug trafficking, he said that the Fourth Transformation movement is already in the hands of Claudia Sheinbaum, “she is going to lead it from this moment on”.

Regarding the case of Ebrard and his displeasure for not being the one who was favored by the polls to be the presidential candidate, he said to have explained it yesterday, that he is a good person in the broad sense, very prepared, he has a lot of political experience and he is my friend, that is how I consider him, and also like everyone else, he has his own ideas.

We are free men and women, democracy is plurality, guaranteeing the right to dissent, freedom is not implored, it is conquered, I hope we are all rebels, and that important things are done with passion, but also with reason, he added.

There is freedom to act in this way, but we trust people a lot, their feelings, with the people everything, without the people nothing.

Therefore, he added, what I am going to recommend is already known, and that is to repeat that he is a man with a lot of experience, to tell them, as Claudia expressed, that the doors are open, but at the same time they should make their own decisions, I have millions of brothers and Marcelo is one of them.
