Five senators from different parties seek to create a new bench in the Senate called “Plural” in order to act “free from any party formation.”
These senators presented the request to create the new bench to the Political Coordination Board (Jucopo).
“Aware that the vast majority of the citizens of Mexico do not feel well represented, it is that the Plural Parliamentary Group will seek with its conformation to maintain its aspirations and feelings in the Senate of the Republic,” said the legislators in their request.
This new parliamentary group is made up of Germán Martínez, from Morena; Alejandra León and Nancy de la Sierra from the PT; Gustavo Madero, former president of the PAN, and Emilio Álvarez-Icaza, independent senator.
These senators pointed out in an official letter addressed to Ricardo Monreal, president of the Political Coordination Board, they assured that they do not aspire to “false prominence”, since they said that they seek to do “good politics, encouraged by the truth, the encounter with the other and motivated for the service of the most vulnerable ”.
Now Jucopo must decide whether or not to accept this new group.
