Adán Augusto López and Manuel Velasco, former presidential candidates who ultimately lost to Claudia Sheinbaum, show that the President has the final say in the Palace but faces issues in Congress. Sheinbaum's lack of political skill is highlighted as she did not foresee the ambitions of some of her collaborators, such as the Secretary of the Interior, Rosa Icela Rodríguez, and her sister, who aspire to the governorship of San Luis Potosí in 2027.
The governor of San Luis Potosí, belonging to the Gallardo clan, seems to be winning the dispute against the Rodríguez clan, which favors the creation of a candidacy with an advantage from power. On the other hand, the ethics within Morena are questioned, and there is a call for political aspirations to be free from family influences.
In the Senate, a Sheinbaum initiative aimed at banning nepotism in public office for the year 2027 was rejected. The President faces resistance within her own party and other political groups, casting doubt on her authority and ability to enforce her decisions. For his part, President López Obrador supports Sheinbaum's stance on nepotism.
