President Sheinbaum is sending initiatives to combat nepotism and re-election, but at the same time, Andrés Manuel Jr., the president's son, is debuting in the party with a national tour. This move has been criticized, especially coinciding with López Beltrán being photographed with Rubén Rocha, the governor of Sinaloa, amid controversies.
Sheinbaum's initiatives seek to impose controls on access to power and eradicate entrenched practices in Mexican politics, where certain families monopolize positions. However, there is some ambiguity in Sheinbaum's leadership, which could undermine her authority against powerful actors in the party and the government.
In contrast to the measures announced by Sheinbaum, members with surnames representing the neoliberal past have been incorporated into Morena. This raises questions about the party's sincerity in its attempts to renew national political life. The affiliation of old figures opposed to Obradorism generates uncertainty about the criteria for joining the party and who has the final say in this matter.
The incorporation of figures like Yunes and Murat, considered neoliberalists, complicates the landscape and calls into question Morena's true intention to clean its ranks. In this scenario, Sheinbaum's figure is implicated and will largely depend on how the party manages these controversies. Morality and coherence within Morena will play a crucial role in its long-term reputation.
