The leader of Morena, Andy López Beltrán, criticized the electoral reform proposed by the Government, arguing that it could generate unnecessary conflicts within the party and with its allies. In particular, he believes that the restrictions imposed on plurinominal candidates could affect the internal cohesion of the ruling coalition.
Amidst the controversy, a peculiar case has arisen in San Luis Potosí, where the governor has consulted a group of lawyers on how to legally define his relationship with a senator seeking his succession. This situation, in López Beltrán's view, underscores the complexity and possible extravagant implications that the reform could bring.
In this regard, the leader of Morena pointed out the importance of maintaining party unity in the face of challenges such as the administration of Donald Trump, rather than dividing over a reform that has not sparked broad popular support. In contrast, the support and legitimacy of recently approved measures, such as the judicial reform that has generated uncertainty regarding the selection of judges, are called into question.
One of the points of friction with the reform lies in the perception that it seeks to weaken the influence of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's family. Despite the criticisms, the firm stance of the most radical sector of the party makes it difficult to resolve these disagreements.
Andy López Beltrán expressed his concern about the possible consequences of anti-re-election laws, nepotism laws, and the limitation of mandates in the Judicial Power. This stance has generated unease among mayors and governors, who have warned of potential obstacles to the implementation of the reform in their jurisdictions.
In this tense context, political tensions have been mentioned, such as those that have arisen between Mexican and American authorities, like the case of the meeting between Andy López Beltrán and the governor of Sinaloa. Such meetings occur in a context of oversight by the United States, adding a component of uncertainty to the current political situation.
