Former MORENA coordinator in the Senate, Adán Augusto, who recently resigned after being accused of illicit enrichment and links to organized crime, will now work as a political operator in the fourth electoral circuit. He will be in charge of preparing for the 2027 elections, which cover Mexico City, Guerrero, Morelos, Puebla, and Tlaxcala. His appointment has been criticized by the opposition, which insists on a thorough investigation into his alleged ties to the criminal group "La Barredora" and involvement in corruption schemes. The opposition has also expressed concern about the risks of "political capture" and illegal funding associated with his new role. Meanwhile, in the ruling party, they believe his experience is necessary to strengthen unity within the movement and conduct negotiations ahead of the upcoming elections.
