The national leader of the PAN party, Jorge Romero, rejected an alliance with the PRI for the 2027 Nuevo León gubernatorial race. This decision, made during a tour of the northern state, is a blow to Alejandro Moreno Cárdenas, who seeks this alliance and hoped it would be led by Monterrey's mayor, Adrián De la Garza, the PRI's most important national figure. Additionally, «Alito» needs this alliance to prevent the PRI from losing its official registration. Following an event with students at the Tec de Monterrey, the PAN leader affirmed that it is time to bet on PAN going it alone. «I insist, we are not refusing any leadership that wants to win the trust of the Nuevo León people under the PAN banner,» he expressed. «We are not going to compete among opponents; to me, that is the most foolish thing in the universe».
