One sector is convinced not to approve the debt, while other lawmakers assure that agreements from the federation and the good rapport they maintain with Governor Samuel García prevail. It is understandable: the governor maintains agreements with the Ministry of the Interior through direct communication with César Yáñez, which are inescapable for some lawmakers involved in these negotiations. It is also true that if the PRI-PAN and MC bloc reaches a budgetary agreement, the votes of Morena will not be indispensable for Palacio de Cantera. The national leader of Morena, Luisa Alcalde Luján, is holding her ground against MC in Nuevo León and is preparing a meeting with local deputies to demand that the debt not be approved, whatever proposal the state government puts forward in the 2026 Budget. Alcalde is detecting a disquieting situation in Nuevo León: in recent months, the Morena brand has begun a still-mild erosion process, a trend that is also being seen in other northern states of the country. According to what LPO could learn, the party leader insisted on this stance until minutes before the lawmakers' negotiation with the Secretary of Government, Miguel Flores Serna. This news outlet had previously reported that Palacio de Cantera is preparing a financing proposal similar to last year's. Since her visit to Nuevo León in July, Alcalde Luján has made her strategy clear: Morena must confront MC to improve its standing. This has advanced in a measured way, as some actors were confrontational during the budgetary glosses of the first report; figures such as Senator Waldo Fernández have begun to take on an opposition role, and the State CEN daily shows a radical stance against the state Executive. However, Alcalde's request is not being fully met, mainly from the legislative branch, where deputies have supported Palacio de Cantera on crucial issues, such as the electoral reform or the 2025 Budget. The division within the Morena caucus is another factor for the party's national leader to intensify her lobbying against MC. But in the 4T caucus, they believe that the differences between the opposition and the state Executive are sufficient for the party to become a 'kingmaker' in negotiations.
