Luis Donaldo Colosio Riojas confirmed his ambition to seek the Mexican presidency in 2030, during his second legislative report as Senator of the Republic (delivered under the slogan “We Have a North”), where he harshly criticized the federal government.
He also noted that he remains undecided on whether to seek the Movimiento Ciudadano nomination for governor in Sonora or in Nuevo León, his birthplace.
“Of course 2030 is a possibility, but we have to take the first step first,” Colosio Riojas told journalists at a press conference after his address.
During his report, the Movimiento Ciudadano senator condemned the administration’s reliance on blaming the past to deflect accountability for ongoing policy failures.
“How many more times are they going to keep citing past mistakes to justify the errors they are making today?” Colosio Riojas asked. “How long will they use the past to avoid doing what needs to be done right now, and to dodge responsibility for their current actions?”
Calling on citizens to remain vigilant, he argued that the administration is consumed by maintaining power rather than delivering tangible results for the public. He pointed out that official focus appears to be political elections rather than results.
“Why are they worrying about 2030 already? They are obsessed with 2027, 2030, 2033,” he said. “They care far more about electoral outcomes than the development indicators and good governance that Mexico desperately needs.”
To conclude, Colosio spoke of his political future and insisted on taking things one step at a time.
