Political Crisis in Coyoacán: Hannah de Lamadrid Risks 4T Unity

The former Morena candidate in Coyoacán, Hannah de Lamadrid, has distanced herself from her party and approached the Green Party, threatening a split in the ruling coalition before the 2027 elections and paving the way for an easy opposition victory.


Political Crisis in Coyoacán: Hannah de Lamadrid Risks 4T Unity

After this, she approached the Head of Government, Clara Brugada, who took her under her wing at the Secretariat of Tourism under the leadership of Alejandra Frausto, but this alliance also did not last long. As a result, Hannah de Lamadrid approached the Green Party, which could allow her to run for mayor again in the 2027 elections. However, this represents a risk for the former candidate and for the Fourth Transformation (4T), as various sources agree that without unity, the opposition would head to a victory without major problems. The government of Mayor Giovani Gutiérrez is well-regarded and has a large territorial and political apparatus that could impose itself on separate candidacies from both the PAN and the 'guinda' party. A leader from the PAN launches her campaign in Coyoacán and revives tensions. This scenario of possible division repeats itself in different areas of Mexico City and the entire country. However, she does not give up on her electoral crusade, and as LPO was able to find out, she is already preparing to compete again in 2027, when the 4T tries to recover the demarcation it governed in the past. The problem, warn local 4T sources, is that Hannah de Lamadrid has distanced herself from the various political groups of Morena in the demarcation and has approached the Green Party, which is still analyzing whether to maintain unity with the 'guinda' party or break and compete alone. For example, this Sunday the main local leaders of the 'guinda' party led a joint event in defense of the sovereignty of Venezuela and Cuba, and the former candidate was not present. This Sunday, the leadership of Morena and local leaders led an event in the center of Coyoacán. In Mexico City, they say this is due to the distance Hannah de Lamadrid suffered from the leadership of the 'guinda' party. As detailed by LPO, the electoral reform promoted by President Claudia Sheinbaum is rejected by the ecological force, which threatens to launch its own candidacies alone in San Luis Potosí or Quintana Roo, for example. In the 2024 elections, Hannah de Lamadrid competed for the mayorship of Coyoacán for the official alliance composed of Morena, the PT, and the Green Party. The leadership headed by Jesús Sesma is analyzing breaking the alliance and presenting its own ballots in mayoralties such as Iztapalapa, Tláhuac, Xochimilco, and now, Coyoacán. At that time, she lost to the current mayor, Giovani Gutiérrez, who won re-election. According to official sources, during the 2024 campaign, she distanced herself from her main sponsor, the federal Secretary of Welfare, Ariadna Montiel. In the capital, the scenario is similar.
