Senator Gerardo Fernández Noroña, formerly of the Labor Party, boasted on social media about his party membership card, while Miguel Ángel Yunes Márquez appeared in the photograph taken with the Morenista legislators and the party leader, María Luisa Alcalde. María Luisa Alcalde and Andrés Manuel López Beltrán, secretary of Morena, met this Tuesday with Morena senators in the Upper House to affiliate lawmakers.
On social media, Senator Ignacio Mier Velasco informed that they agreed with María Luisa Alcalde and López Beltrán to 'join the efforts to affiliate millions of Mexicans who, since 2018, made the 4T government with their vote.' During her visit, the national leader of Morena, María Luisa Alcalde, reported that three weeks after starting the national house-to-house affiliation campaign, the party had already surpassed one million members. She added that they acknowledged Morena senators 'for their intense work over the past months for the benefit of the people of Mexico.'
According to his curriculum profile in the Legislative Information System, the senator has been a member of the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD), then served as a deputy for the Labor Party, and is now a senator for Morena.
Senator Miguel Ángel Yunes Márquez, who was expelled from the National Action Party (PAN) last year, appears in the photograph of the Morena senators alongside the party leadership. Yunes Márquez was expelled from PAN after voting in favor of the judicial reform last September, although at that time he denied having 'jumped' parties. The former PAN member is seated in the back rows alongside David Monreal Ávila, former governor of Zacatecas. Additionally, on Monday, February 17, he informed through his social media that he would be the president of the Senate Finance Commission.
Unanimously, the National Action Party (PAN) decided on November 14 to expel Miguel Ángel Yunes Márquez and his father Miguel Ángel Yunes Linares. In a statement, PAN member Marisol Vargas Bárcena explained that the expulsion was approved by the National Action Commission of Order, in full exercise of its powers and by unanimous consent of its members. Gerardo Fernández Noroña has been affiliated with at least three political parties to date. Morena welcomed new members this Tuesday, February 18.
