Overview

  • Movimiento Ciudadano formally presented Camarillo as its newest senator during a Senate event led by coordinator Clemente Castañeda.
  • With the move, MC counts six senators, the PVEM rises to 14 as the third force, the PAN holds 21, and Morena remains at 67, according to updated tallies.
  • The PRI’s reduced bench loses its place in the Senate Board leadership, which passes to the PVEM under the chamber’s distribution rules.
  • Castañeda said MC invited Camarillo to join and he accepted, citing programmatic affinities and a desire to open a new political cycle.
  • Camarillo said he will act from the opposition, avoid disparaging his former party, and described the change as a renewal he first announced on social media.
