Nueva Alianza expelled Rigoberto Vargas and removed him as parliamentary coordinator

The leadership of the Nueva Alianza Estado de México (NAEM) party, ratified a few days ago by the Regional Chamber of the Electoral Tribunal of the Judicial Power of the Federation (TEPJF) with Mario Cervantes at the head, informed the local Legislature of its decision to remove the deputy Rigoberto Vargas as its parliamentary coordinator.

In the official letter, NAEM states that the intra-party justice body unanimously determined to sanction Vargas Cervantes with expulsion from the party, “upon finding the grievances presented against him by a group of militants from our political institute well founded.”

Although the faults are not detailed, in recent days a group of leaders and militants announced the promotion of complaints against the legislator for alleged harassment, harassment and political violence based on gender.

For now, in the document sent to the Political Coordination Board (Jucopo), NAEM asks “that deputy Rigoberto Vargas Cervantes cease to be considered as a member of the New Alliance State of Mexico caucus and, consequently, as coordinator of the parliamentary group ”.
In addition, it states that the resolution of the intra-party justice body includes the impediment for the deputy to present any initiative, pronouncement and/or exercise any type of representation on behalf of NAEM.

The party’s decision necessarily brings collateral implications that have repercussions on the configuration of the neo-alliance caucus, originally made up of two deputies; that is to say, tentatively it remains with only one member: deputy Mónica Granillo, and the law establishes that a parliamentary group cannot be formed with only one deputy.

Among the legal alternatives to subsist as a bench, are that both legislators join a different parliamentary group, which implies that the New Alliance faction ceases to exist.

Vargas Cervantes could also declare herself independent and Granillo Velasco could remain as a deputy for Nueva Alianza but without the character of a parliamentary group, that is, she could become a kind of independent deputy acting on behalf of the party.

Historically, it has also happened that related benches lend the missing deputies to those affected so that they subsist as a parliamentary group.

In the current Legislature, NAEM had tied a “block” with the Citizen Movement and the Green Ecologist Party of Mexico (PVEM).
