In a closed meeting in the State of Mexico, Luisa María Alcalde, Higinio Martínez, Governor Delfina Gómez, Secretary General Horacio Duarte, and state leader of Morena Martha Guerrero were present. During the meeting, Luisa María seemed to show indifference towards Higinio, which could be interpreted as a gesture towards the emancipation of Delfina and Duarte, who developed under Higinio's tutelage.
Martínez apparently has not understood the new winds blowing in the party, showing his discomfort by feeling that his 'sacrifice' in the past is not recognized. His current stance reflects some dissatisfaction for not having received what he considers an adequate compensation after ceding the candidacy to Delfina two years ago.
The cold and distant attitude that Higinio has experienced, both in public and private, suggests the need to renew leaderships in the State of Mexico. This episode could be the beginning of future disputes within the party, marking a change of course in the entity.
The presence of Alcalde and López Beltrán in the State of Mexico coincided with the launch of a campaign to add 10 million affiliates to Morena. This affiliation process will be carried out in collaboration with party deputies and senators, following a bottom-up approach.
Higinio Martínez, a senator of great importance in the past, has been virtually marginalized during the meeting in the State of Mexico, despite being a relevant figure in the entity with the largest electoral registry in the country. These signals point to a possible restructuring of leaderships in the party, aimed at strengthening Morena as the main political force in the country.
The intention to 'democratize' the movement could imply changes in the previously established leaderships, leaving open the possibility that figures like Higinio Martínez may be displaced in this new phase. This scenario raises questions about the role of former leaders, such as Duarte and Delfina, in the face of new actors seeking to consolidate their influence in Morena.
The process of registering 10 million members could redefine the map of national leaderships in the party. The impact of this registration in the State of Mexico, especially if it brings in a large number of members, could change the dynamics of political forces in the entity and at a national level, including potential conflicts with other government allies in the region.
Higinio Martínez, an emblematic leader of the past, faces a complicated political scenario that could mark the beginning of a new phase in Morena's politics. His experience over the weekend, where he was met with boos during a rally in Toluca led by Alcalde and López Beltrán, illustrates the tension and adjustments that are taking shape in the party.
