He stressed the importance of listening to, accompanying, and fighting for the causes important to families in the region. Romero stated that this new phase requires unity, firmness, and proximity to the people, reaffirming the PAN's commitment to being a responsible, principled opposition that defends freedom, democracy, security, and the common good.
Romero denounced the current reality in Veracruz, describing it as a situation that cannot be normalized, citing violence and a lack of governance. He asserted that Veracruz cannot become accustomed to living in fear or accepting insecurity as a part of daily life. "In the PAN, we are on the side of the people, not organized crime, and people will know this in Veracruz and throughout the country," Romero declared.
In the PAN, we are on the side of the people, not organized crime, and people will know this in Veracruz and throughout the country.
He further stated that the PAN will not be a passive opposition but an active political force that identifies problems, proposes solutions, and defends institutions, democracy, freedom, and the security of families. Ana Ledezma, who was sworn in as the new state party leader, echoed these sentiments. She recalled the PAN's historical commitment to the common good, democracy, and human dignity, principles that she said continue to inspire thousands of PAN members in Veracruz.
Ledezma affirmed that the party is now united, committed, and energized, ready to defend Veracruz and work diligently to restore peace and security for its families. The renewal of the state leadership is seen as the beginning of a strengthening phase for the PAN in Veracruz, built on unity, member participation, and the party's core principles.
Today we have a united, committed and alive party, ready to defend Veracruz and work door to door to recover the tranquility of Veracruz families.
