PAN leadership holds national commission in Sonora

The National Action Party (PAN) held a meeting of its National Permanent Commission in Hermosillo, Sonora. During the event, national president Jorge Romero Herrera appointed Antonio “Toño” Astiazarán as the state coordinator for the Defense of the Homeland, Family, and Liberty.

Astiazarán, the former mayor of Hermosillo, stated that his new role is an opportunity to address challenges in security, health, infrastructure, and water management in Sonora. Romero Herrera defended the appointment, citing the requests of thousands of citizens and recognizing Astiazarán’s previous administrative experience.

The meeting also involved discussions regarding potential political alliances across the country. Additionally, the PAN leadership addressed recent controversies involving former President Vicente Fox, with Romero Herrera stating that Fox’s recent comments regarding the 2006 election do not represent the party’s official stance. This distancing was publicly questioned by President Claudia Sheinbaum.
