Igual que a nivel nacional, en Sinaloa Movimiento Ciudadano no irá en alianza con otros partidos en las elecciones del próximo año. Así que tendrán candidatos propios, oficialmente serán otra opción política, lo cual es muy positivo para los que no quieren nada con Morena ni con el Frente Amplio.
Le habíamos platicado que el dirigente de Movimiento Ciudadano en Sinaloa, Sergio Torres, estuvo en Monterrey el fin de semana en el cónclave del partido, ayer señalaba que según las encuestas Samuel García podría ser el candidato a la presidencia y representarlos.
Hay que decir que la última encuesta de ‘De Las Heras Demotecnia’ publicada a inicio de la semana, tiene un dato revelador, al preguntar la segunda opción de voto el 19 por ciento mencionó a Samuel García, superando ligeramente a Xóchitl Gálvez quien aparece con 17 por ciento y quien es la futura candidata del Frente Amplio por México.
Todo indica que el dirigente nacional de Movimiento Ciudadano, Dante Delgado, prolongará el destape del candidato a la presidencia hasta enero del próximo año, es parte de la estrategia. También en la encuesta de Demotecnia se muestra una inmensa ventaja de Claudia Sheinbaum, así que la pelea casi sería por el segundo lugar.
Lo anterior lo decimos porque según la encuesta de ‘De las Heras Demotecnia’ publicada el pasado lunes, Claudia Sheinbaum aparece con el 68 por ciento de la intención del voto; segundo lugar, Xóchitl Gálvez con el 14 por ciento; tercer lugar, Samuel García con 4 por ciento; y cuarto, Eduardo Verástegui con 2 por ciento.
El gran dato de esta encuesta es que los indecisos solamente son el 5 por ciento y el voto secreto es del 2 por ciento. Sin duda, causó mucho ruido esta medición y la respuesta fue la circulación de una imagen de una encuesta falsa de Mitofsky que supuestamente ponía en empate técnico a Claudia Sheinbaum y Xóchitl Gálvez.
Lo real es que este es el peor escenario para el Frente Amplio por México, van a cuestionar los números porque son lapidarios y muestran que no tendrán mucho margen para crecer porque no hay indecisos. Además de llegar Samuel García por MC sería otro golpe. Falta mucho camino, pero ahí esta la foto del momento, así que muy atentos.
Sinaloa. En la sesión de hoy de la Jucopo en el Congreso del Estado se dará trámite a que los diputados locales Ricardo Madrid, Cinthia Valenzuela y Connie Zazueta ya no forman parte del grupo parlamentario del PRI. También en tiempo y forma presentaron ante el INE los oficios de renuncia a la militancia priista.
El PRI en Sinaloa se quedará con una mini bancada de dos diputados, así que pierden fuerza y pasan a una diminuta tercera fuerza política, o quizá cuarta porque podría haber una bancada plural de legisladores sin partido. Ayer lo decíamos, estamos ante el derrumbe del tricolor.
Agenda. El día de mañana a las 9:30 horas la presidenta de Morena en Sinaloa, Merary Villegas tendrá rueda de prensa en las oficinas del Comité Ejecutivo Estatal, estará interesante. Por cierto, la dirigente estatal del PRI, Paola Gárate retó a la morenista a un debate, le respondió que no le tiene miedo, así que a esperar la fecha del encuentro.

Israel arrested five Palestinians in a plot allegedly hatched in Iran to target and spy on senior Israeli politicians, including Israel’s far-right national security minister, the country’s internal security agency said Wednesday.
The Shin Bet security service alleged that an Iranian security official living in neighboring Jordan had recruited three Palestinian men in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and another two Palestinian citizens of Israel to gather intelligence about several high-profile Israeli politicians.
The targets included National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir — a firebrand Israeli settler leader who oversees the country’s police force in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ultranationalist government — as well as Yehuda Glick, an American-born far-right Israeli activist and former member of parliament.
The plan was foiled by Israeli intelligence officials, the Shin Bet said, without offering evidence.
Iran’s mission to the United Nations did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the allegations.
Ben-Gvir, who draws inspiration from a racist rabbi, has provoked outrage across the wider Middle East for his particularly hard-line policies against the Palestinians, anti-Arab rhetoric and stunts and frequent public visits to the holiest and most contested site in the Holy Land. The hilltop compound in Jerusalem, revered by Jews as the Temple Mount and by Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary, is at the emotional center of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Glick is a leader in a campaign that pushes for increased Jewish access and prayer rights at the sacred Jerusalem compound, the holiest site in Judaism home to ancient biblical Temples. Today, the compound houses the Al Aqsa Mosque, the third-holiest site in Islam. Since Israel captured the site in 1967, Jews have been allowed to visit but not pray there. Glick survived a 2014 Palestinian assassination attempt.
The Shin Bet did not elaborate on the identity of the Iranian official in Jordan who allegedly orchestrated the plot. He is not in custody and apparently remains at large.
But the Shin Bet accused three Palestinian men in the West Bank — identified as 47-year old Murad Kamamaja, 34-year-old Hassan Mujarimah and 45-year-old Ziad Shanti — of gathering intelligence and smuggling weapons into Israel. The security service also said that it charged two Palestinian citizens of Israel over their involvement in the plot. It did not specify how the men planned to target Ben-Gvir and the other politicians.
Israel has considered Iran to be its greatest enemy since it became a Shiite theocracy during the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Iran is a main patron of Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group, which Israel considers the most potent military threat on its borders, and also backs Palestinian Islamist militant groups in the Gaza Strip.

The United States and Iran are denying reports that the two sides are engaged in secret negotiations following a prisoner exchange deal earlier this month that included the unlocking of billions of dollars of frozen Iranian funds.
There are no direct or indirect talks scheduled, including any involving Brett McGurk, White House coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa, a U.S. official told VOA on Wednesday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss national security matters.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry on Tuesday dismissed a report by a U.K.-based media outlet that authorities in Tehran had granted its negotiators permission to enter direct talks with Washington to ease sanctions in return for Iran slowing down its uranium enrichment program.
“This type of news sensationalism and media games, which is often used to create a political atmosphere, lacks credibility,” the ministry said, as reported by Iranian state media.
However, Washington appears to be leaving open its door to negotiations.
“We have always said that we are open to diplomacy with Iran. I don’t want to get into what any such talks might or might not look like, but diplomacy, we believe, is the best path to preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon,” State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said in response to VOA’s question on whether the U.S. would be willing to engage in direct talks with Iran.
There are a number of de-escalatory steps the U.S. wants Iran to take before talks, Miller added, including cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Meanwhile, Senator Ted Cruz, a Republican member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is demanding disciplinary action on current administration officials, including those linked to Robert Malley, President Joe Biden’s former special envoy to Iran.
“The Biden administration should immediately cease its secret diplomacy with Iran and its dismantling of sanctions, and any officials linked to these emails should immediately have their security clearances pulled until these allegations are fully resolved and accountability is imposed,” Cruz said in a statement Tuesday.
Cruz released his statement in reference to media reports that the U.S. officials developed ties with a network of academics and researchers aiming to influence policy on Iran a decade ago.
Cruz’s office did not respond to VOA’s request for evidence to back his claims of the administration’s “secret diplomacy.”
Malley has been on leave since June while his security clearance is under review amid an investigation into his handling of classified material.
Diplomatic breakthrough
In a major diplomatic breakthrough earlier this month, U.S. and Iranian officials concluded a deal in which five Americans who had been imprisoned in Iran were freed in exchange for five Iranians accused of violating U.S. sanctions, and the unfreezing of $6 billion in Iranian oil revenue.
U.S. officials insist that negotiations on the swap were unrelated to efforts to revive the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the 2015 deal to curb Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.
Then-President Donald Trump withdrew the U.S. from the deal in 2018. A year later, Iran began ignoring limitations on its nuclear program while still maintaining that its nuclear program is for civilian, not military, purposes.
Many had hoped the prisoner exchange would pave the way to discussions on more substantive issues, and some observers believe that they have.
There are ongoing talks to de-escalate tensions, said Sina Azodi, a researcher of U.S.-Iran ties and a lecturer at the Elliott School of International Affairs at The George Washington University, quoting sources.
For the United States, Azodi told VOA, a key goal in these talks is to scale down Iran’s pace of uranium enrichment. Tehran announced in 2021 it was enriching uranium to 60%, which would shorten its so-called breakout time to build a nuclear weapon, which requires uranium that is enriched above 90%.
Low-level talks
Such talks could be happening indirectly at a lower-stakes level, not involving McGurk and his Iranian counterpart, Ali Bagheri-Kani, said Alex Vatanka, director of the Iran Program at the Middle East Institute.
“The fact that the authorities from Qatar and Oman are saying this and are talking about putting forward suggestions to push forward with nuclear talks, to me suggests that’s real,” Vatanka told VOA, referring to the two countries who acted as interlocutors in the prisoner swap deal.
Earlier this month, Reuters reported that Qatar held separate bilateral meetings with Washington and Tehran that touched on Iran’s nuclear program and U.S. concerns about Iranian drone transfers to Russia that are used to attack Ukraine.
Those concerns and others, including preventing Iranian attacks on Americans in the Middle East, have been transmitted, said Barbara Slavin, a distinguished fellow at the Stimson Center. But apart from conversations earlier this year between Malley and Saeed Iravani, Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations, communications have been indirect.
“I don’t see any interest on the part of Brett McGurk to meet with the Iranians right now,” Slavin told VOA.
Geopolitically, conditions are not conducive to a JCPOA revival. The deal was negotiated with the P5+1 countries of the U.N. Security Council — China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States.
On Wednesday, the Biden administration announced sanctions on a network of entities and individuals it said was facilitating shipments and financial transactions in support of Tehran’s procurement of a critical component used in Iran’s Shahed-136 drones the U.S. says are being used by Russia in Ukraine.

Senadores de Morena impulsan una nueva Ley General de Población que, entre sus cambios, establecería una nueva CURP, que tendrá la fotografía del habitante y sus huellas dactilares.
La CURP (Clave Única de Registro de Población) es un identificador alfanumérico único que se asigna a cada ciudadano mexicano y a residentes extranjeros en México.
Esta clave se utiliza para llevar un registro individual de las personas en el país y es emitida por el Registro Nacional de Población (RENAPO) en México.
La CURP es utilizada en una amplia variedad de trámites y documentos oficiales en México, como la obtención de una identificación oficial, inscripción en instituciones educativas, trámites relacionados con el gobierno, solicitudes de empleo, entre otros.
Ahora, las comisiones unidas de Gobernación y de Estudios Legislativos Segunda del Senado de la República aprobaron un dictamen para expedir una nueva Ley General de Población, reemplazando a la ley vigente desde 1974.
La nueva ley tiene como objetivo establecer las bases de coordinación interinstitucional para formular y conducir la política de población e interculturalidad en el país.
También se establece que los ciudadanos mexicanos deben inscribirse en el Registro Nacional de Ciudadanos y obtener una Clave Única de Registro de Población (CURP) con fotografía, que servirá como documento oficial de identificación.
Esta CURP con foto contendrá datos como nombre, apellidos, lugar y fecha de nacimiento, firma y huellas dactilares, y deberá renovarse periódicamente.
Además, busca regular la organización y el funcionamiento de las instancias relacionadas con la población y definir políticas de movilidad humana y de interculturalidad para salvaguardar los derechos humanos y sus garantías.
Se busca reducir los riesgos y aprovechar los beneficios del envejecimiento de la población, promoviendo un envejecimiento saludable y activo.
La senadora Mónica Fernández Balboa, del Grupo Parlamentario Morena, destacó la necesidad de actualizar la legislación para adaptarse a los cambios demográficos desde 1974.
Por su parte, el senador Rafael Espino de la Peña, también de Morena, subrayó que la nueva ley busca atender los nuevos desafíos de la estructura y la dinámica poblacional, que la legislación de 1974 ya no aborda adecuadamente.

Two soldiers from Bahrain were killed along the border between war-torn Yemen and Saudi Arabia, the Bahraini military said on Monday, in an attack highlighting persistent insecurity in the area.
The victims “were martyred while performing their sacred national duty to defend the southern borders of the sister Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” which has led a military coalition against Yemen’s Houthi rebels since 2015, the military said in a statement.
The incident occurred as Saudi Arabia is pushing for a durable cease-fire nearly a year and a half after agreeing to a truce with the Houthis that has largely held despite officially expiring last October. The statement from Bahrain’s military said the “terrorist act” was perpetrated by Houthi “attack drones” in an undisclosed location in southern Saudi Arabia, “despite the cessation of military operations between the parties to the war in Yemen.”
The Saudi coalition did not respond to a request for comment, and there was no immediate comment from the Houthis.
Bahrain was one of several countries that contributed troops to the coalition mobilized by Saudi Arabia after the Houthis ousted the internationally recognized government from the capital, Sanaa, in 2014.
The ensuing war has left hundreds of thousands dead through direct and indirect causes and displaced millions of people in what the United Nations calls one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises.
Peace push
Hopes for peace were boosted in March when Saudi Arabia and Iran, which has backed the Houthis, announced a surprise rapprochement deal.
The following month, Mohammed al-Jaber, the Saudi ambassador to Yemen, traveled to Sanaa to meet with Houthi officials in what he described as a bid to “stabilize” last year’s truce.
Last week, Houthi officials completed five days of talks in Riyadh, the first public visit by a Houthi delegation to Saudi Arabia since hostilities broke out.
Neither face-to-face meeting has yielded any major announcements, but both sides have described the exchanges as “positive.”
The process appears to have snagged on Houthi demands which include payment of their civil servants’ salaries by the displaced Yemeni government and the launch of new routes from Sanaa airport.
Also on Monday, Hans Grundberg, the United Nations special envoy for Yemen, concluded a visit to Riyadh for talks on what his office described in a statement as “a sustainable nationwide cease-fire.”
Those meetings tackled issues including “measures to improve living conditions in Yemen” and pay public sector salaries, the statement said.
“This is a critical juncture, and Yemen needs the support and accompaniment of the region and the international community to navigate the path towards sustainable peace and development,” Grundberg said.

The United States said Monday it refused a request by Iran’s foreign minister to visit Washington last week, pointing to concerns about Tehran’s record including past detentions of U.S. citizens.
Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian reportedly sought to travel to visit Iran’s consular interests section following the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
“They did make that request and it was denied by the State Department,” spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters.
“We do have an obligation to allow Iranian officials and other officials of foreign governments to travel to New York for U.N. business. But we do not have an obligation to allow them to travel to Washington, D.C.,” he said.
“Given Iran’s wrongful detention of U.S. citizens, given Iran’s state sponsorship of terrorism, we did not believe it was either appropriate or necessary in this instance to grant that request,” Miller said.
Iran last week allowed five U.S. citizens to leave in a prisoner swap in which the United States also arranged the transfer of $6 billion in frozen Iranian funds from South Korea to an account in Qatar.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken has played down speculation that the prisoner deal could lead to broader diplomatic movement, such as a resumption of talks on Iran’s contested nuclear program.
The news site Amwaj.media first reported on Amir-Abdollahian’s hope to visit Washington, in what would have been the first by an Iranian foreign minister in 14 years.
The report, quoting anonymous sources, said that Amir-Abdollahian had said he wanted personally to review the consular operation, but that his goal may have also been “to generate positive headlines.”
The United States and Iran broke off relations after Islamic revolutionaries seized the U.S. embassy in Tehran and took the diplomats hostage for 444 days following the 1979 revolution that overthrew the pro-Western shah.
Iran’s consular interests section in Washington is officially under the flag of Pakistan.
The United States, under an agreement as host of the United Nations, allows representatives of all member states to travel to New York City but restricts the movement beyond the city of officials from some nations deemed hostile.
Former President Donald Trump’s administration went even further on Iran and confined Iranian officials to a few neighborhoods in New York.
