The head of Government of Mexico City, Clara Brugada, stated in a press conference on Tuesday that she is calling on the Labor Party (PT) and the Green Party (Verde) to "listen to the people's sentiment." This call came just a few hours before the electoral reform bill is set to be voted on in the plenary session of the Chamber of Deputies, while the first discussions were beginning among the parliamentary groups that make up the Fourth Transformation (4T) in committees. "I call to listen to the people's sentiment, as popular representatives we must know what the population's opinion is," she declared. On Tuesday, the coordinator of Morena in San Lázaro, Ricardo Monreal, anticipated to the parliamentary group that the initiative will not be approved due to the lack of support from the Green Party and the PT. In this context, the head of Government of Mexico City, Clara Brugada, defended the initiative promoted by Head of State Claudia Sheinbaum and called on the allies of the 'cherry' party to "listen to the people's sentiment" and support the reform promoted by Claudia Sheinbaum. As reported by LPO, the electoral reform promoted by President Claudia Sheinbaum is facing a defining moment. In response, the ruling coalition is preparing an express session for Wednesday with few interventions from parliamentary groups to try to mitigate the impact that the legislative rejection will have on the federal government. Within this framework, the head of government, Clara Brugada, lashed out at Morena's allies in the national capital, calling on them to "listen to the people's sentiment" and support the reform promoted by Claudia Sheinbaum. Another territory in the sights of the environmentalist movement is the Tláhuac mayor's office, where the current mayor, Berenice Hernández, will have to leave power in 2027. Brugada announced that at the end of March she will inaugurate the first Utopia in Iztacalco. At the same time, on Tuesday the governor of San Luis Potosí, Ricardo Gallardo, revived tensions with Claudia Sheinbaum and the 'cherry' leadership by defending the possible candidacy of his wife and current senator, Ruth González, to succeed him in the entity in next year's elections. "If you play a constitutional election and the people decide, it is not nepotism," fired the leader of the Green Party, thus challenging the leader of Morena, Luisa María Alcalde, who has already stated that there would be no local alliance in this scenario. With this context, the electoral scenario for the 4T in Mexico City for next year is uncertain. Looking towards 2027, they do not rule out that the same could happen; which could be worse if the alliance does not hold and the ruling vote is split. Different sources from the ruling coalition agree that in midterm elections, Morena usually fares worse than in general elections because citizen support tends to decline. "I call to listen to the people's sentiment, as popular representatives we must know what the population's opinion is. That is the call I make to the PT and the Verde. The tensions that exist between Morena, the Green Party, and the PT exist throughout the country and Mexico City is no exception. The electoral reform promoted by President Claudia Sheinbaum will be discussed this Wednesday in the federal Chamber of Deputies. According to her explanation, more than 80% of the population 'agrees that public financing of political parties should be reduced, that financial controls for parties and candidates should be increased, and that the method for electing proportional candidates should be changed.' As LPO anticipated, the toucan (party) leadership is analyzing the possibility of breaking the alliance ahead of next year's elections and competing alone in some districts and mayor's offices. This is what happened in 2021 in the middle of Claudia Sheinbaum's term. However, the tensions generated within the 4T between Morena, the Green Party, and the PT are growing in different parts of the country.
