The secretary of Organization and number three of Morena, Mario Delgado, holds an implicit power greater than that of the national leader of the party, Luisa María Alcalde. According to what he expressed to his collaborators, Delgado has been close to Sheinbaum, but in the last two years, he has played against her, and this situation does not seem likely to change.
On the other hand, Senator Chávez can now continue her campaign in Chihuahua without political or legal restrictions, as the electoral bodies are mostly controlled by Morena. Some prominent figures of the party, such as Salgado Macedonio and Monreal, have supported these agreements.
In this context, Sheinbaum's growing annoyance with Delgado is evident due to his early electoral promotion, in addition to being an ally of Adán Augusto López, the coordinator of Morena in the Senate, and one of the factors against her. Some of Sheinbaum's proposals have been pointed out as specifically directed, such as the one regarding moderation in the behavior of party members.
Among the proposed rules, there is one that prohibits ostentatious parties and the use of luxury transportation such as helicopters. Additionally, the number two of Morena in the Chamber of Deputies, Pedro Haces, is explicitly mentioned for his extravagant behavior and lavish customs.
Sheinbaum has sought to curb Chávez's ambitions and prevent her from running as a candidate for governor on at least two occasions. Efforts have been made to restore sobriety in the ruling political class of Morena, but not without resistance, as evidenced when Sheinbaum decided not to reveal her letter with guidelines during the morning press conference.
In an attempt to impose conduct rules in the party, the National Council of Morena approved a code of conduct that affects various figures in the party. However, internal tensions and negotiations have arisen, mainly regarding the prohibition of campaigning and personal promotion acts.
President Claudia Sheinbaum embarked on this offensive with a letter that includes guidelines against nepotism and personal promotion, which have generated internal controversy. This first step shows a power struggle within Morena, with Sheinbaum in a prominent position.
In summary, the guidelines proposed by Sheinbaum impact the behavior of Morena's leaders, some of whom have been questioned for their ostentatious lifestyle and actions. It remains to be seen how this situation within the party evolves in the coming months.
