The Yunes family, composed of Miguel Ángel Yunes Márquez and his father Miguel Ángel Yunes Linares, has been expelled from the National Action Party (PAN) two months after voting in favor of the judicial reform backed by the 4T. The decision, made unanimously by the party's Order Commission, aims to preserve the integrity and characteristic values of Acción Nacional.
Amid a critical debate about the judicial reform in August, Miguel Ángel Yunes Márquez requested a leave of absence for health reasons and subsequently supported the 4T with his vote. This triggered his expulsion from the PAN, a measure implemented by the new national party president, Jorge Romero.
The expulsion of the Yunes marked a new direction for the PAN under Romero's management, who seeks to strengthen internal unity and reaffirm the commitment to citizenship. The Yunes family, historically powerful in Veracruz, currently finds themselves without a clear political affiliation, as Governor Rocío Nahle has ruled out their entry into Morena.
The expulsion of the Yunes was justified by the PAN's Order Commission as a necessary measure to safeguard the party's principles. The Yunes family, for their part, faces an uncertain political future following this heavy setback.
