After confirming the main candidacies for the elections in Durango, the leadership of Morena is finalizing the electoral setup for the municipal elections in Veracruz, where tensions have emerged in recent days. According to sources close to the matter, there are differences between Morena and the PT in several cities, leading to the need to accelerate negotiations to define the electoral alliance before the legal deadline closes.
In Veracruz, Governor Rocío Nahle is looking to strengthen her position and is already considering possible candidates to run in the Port of Veracruz. However, disagreements have arisen in the PT regarding the possibility of Morena seeking to lead ballots in municipalities currently governed by the PT.
If agreements are not finalized before the deadline, Morena, the PT, and the Green Party will not be able to move forward together in one of Mexico's most populous states. Despite the current lack of agreement, meetings are expected to take place in the coming days to attempt to resolve the differences and compete in coalition.
In the June elections, authorities will be elected in the 212 municipalities of Veracruz, and it is expected that 165 will be promoted through the coalition between Morena, the PT, and the Green Party. The negotiations focus on the distribution of candidacies, with a point of conflict being that the PT would lead fewer municipalities this time compared to previous elections.
In this regard, the parties involved recognize the importance of reaching agreements before the established deadline, which is February 2. The pressure on Morena is high, but the PT insists on not accepting less than what it obtained in previous coalitions. Negotiations are intensifying in a context of significant differences that must be overcome to achieve an effective alliance in Veracruz.
