Overview

• Announcing his decision in a social‑media video, Néstor Camarillo said he was leaving the PRI to pursue a “verdadera agenda ciudadana” while remaining in the opposition.
• Under PRI statutes in Puebla, Deputy Delfina Pozos Vergara becomes acting state president and Gabriela Fuentes Pérez assumes the secretary general post.
• Camarillo’s departure reduces the PRI caucus to 13 senators, placing it behind the PVEM with 14 and altering the Senate’s order of party strength.
• The new Mesa Directiva will be elected Friday, and PRI’s hold on a vice presidency hinges on whether a previously added fourth vice presidency is kept in place.
• Multiple reports say Camarillo is in talks to join Movimiento Ciudadano’s Senate group, though MC leaders have not confirmed any agreement.
