The Evolution of Morena: A Political Journey

The political landscape in Mexico is shifting with the emergence of Morena 4.0, marking a new chapter for the party and its leadership dynamics, amid alliances and challenges ahead.


The Evolution of Morena: A Political Journey

The Morena party has undergone several transformations over the years, incorporating figures from different backgrounds and opening its doors to individuals who previously had conflicts with the party. There is a pragmatism observed in the recruitment decisions of personalities such as Manuel Espino, former president of the PAN, and an evolution in the party's stance on various issues and alliances.

In the context of renewal, during the previous six-year term, Morena underwent significant changes that marked a new stage for the organization. Currently, Morena has evolved to version 4.0, which is less purist and more open to the inclusion of controversial personalities or those with questionable ties.

The current situation of Morena is characterized by renewal in key governorships, the formal absence of its founder, the emergence of new leaders, and an internal power struggle. Past alliances, such as the one established with the PRD in the Pact for Mexico, have evolved and transformed into definitive breaks due to certain events and political decisions.

The party faces new challenges and hurdles in its trajectory, with uncertainty about the role that prominent figures like President Sheinbaum will play. Despite the changes and the evolution of Morena over the years, its goal of remaining a popular party free of corruption continues to be a subject of debate and analysis in the current political landscape.
