In the 'morenismo' movement in Jalisco, there is increasing talk about the relationship between Tequila Mayor Diego Rivera, already detained for alleged extortion and other supposed crimes, and Senator López Hernández. The initial point of contact would be Senator Carlos Lomelí, a permanent ally of Adán Augusto in the Senate. The federal deputy Merilyn Gómez Pozos, an ally of Ricardo Monreal, is thus gaining ground. These twists prevent Adán Augusto from moments of relaxation and enjoyment, like those generated by the scandal now hitting former spokesperson Jesús Ramírez Cuevas, whom the Tabasco native always despised and who now has to explain his explosive relationship with Sergio Carmona. All that remains for Adán Augusto, as a consolation prize, is to contemplate the sinking of the electoral reform. The architect has multiple posts on his social networks with Senator Chávez, Senator Gerardo Fernández Noroña (always in the wrong places), and, of course, Senator Lomelí. This connection is a much-discussed topic in the ruling party's senatorial bloc and reinforces the belief that Adán Augusto must stay away from the 2027 campaigns. The Tequila plot becomes darker by the day: what began as a scheme of extorting businessmen now includes kidnappings, corruption with public funds, and an alleged association with the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. The impact on the local political arena is visible: Rivera's case blows up Lomelí's chances of wanting to be a candidate in Guadalajara again in 2027. Adán Augusto López Hernández finds no peace. His brother Alejandro, also known as 'Chila', was Adán Augusto's territorial operator. Rivera's chief of staff, Diego López Ibarra, has been a fugitive since the scandal broke. Lomelí was the one who promoted Rivera in the 4T of Jalisco, and his delegate in the state party leadership was in charge of pushing his candidacy. But the nexus goes further. To his departure from the Senate coordination are added the aesthetic tribulations of Senator Andrea Chávez and the fight to remain at the center of gravity of morenism as the next electoral season approaches. A new front is now opening in the west of the country.
