At a press conference, Layda Sansores and the Morena board of directors convened for this Wednesday, June 9th, when the official count will start, a victory march on the city’s boardwalk.
“I always thought it was more difficult to assimilate pain, than happiness,” Sansores San Román declared, who on this occasion ran for the governorship for the fourth time, the first time was back in 1997 when victory was snatched from her by PRI Antonio González Curi.
