“Journalists shouldn’t be killed with bullets, dad, they should be killed with hunger,” said the leader of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), Alejandro “Alito” Moreno Cárdenas, in a new audio released last night by the governor of Campeche, Layda Sansores San Román, during her internet program “Martes de Jaguar.”
Sansores presented a recording in which Moreno is heard talking to an unidentified person about the alleged payment to media owners in Campeche, and suggests, “The son of a bitch who goes too far, a savage beating. Journalists shouldn’t be killed with bullets, dad, they should be killed with hunger.”
Moreno made these remarks after mentioning that he was going to “curse” Alexandro Arceo Azar, the general manager of the local newspaper Tribuna, and he would ask him to “return his suitcase,” without providing further details.
Earlier, Sansores released another audio featuring Moreno, who was speaking with a supposed plastic surgeon. The surgeon suggests he undergo facial surgeries, and in compensation for his work, the former governor offers to provide his plane to travel to Campeche “for about three or four days” with all expenses paid.
“You tell me who you want to go with, four or five, I’ll put my plane at your disposal,” says the PRI leader to his interlocutor. “I have an apartment there, you tell me, ‘Alito, a Thursday, a Friday.'”
The Morena governor also referred to the payment of at least 5 million dollars that the PRI allegedly made to Spanish political strategist Antonio Solá, which would constitute an electoral crime. She announced she would file a complaint with the National Electoral Institute (INE).
“They were paying Solá a million pesos a day with the people of Campeche’s money, and he didn’t pay taxes, because they sent it to Panama,” accused the governor.
Yesterday afternoon, Alito Moreno claimed to be a victim of persecution and ruled out fleeing Mexico following the scandals stemming from the audio recordings revealed by his successor in the Campeche government.
The former senator stated that Sansores released those recordings, in which he orders payments to Solá and discusses alleged contributions to PRI campaigns by the owner of the Cinépolis chain, Alejandro Ramírez Magaña, as retaliation for the PRI voting against the electricity reform.
