The Chamber of Deputies is discussing the reform against nepotism, focusing on the date of entry into force. Initially scheduled for 2030 by the Senate, President Claudia Sheinbaum proposed to bring it forward to 2027. Despite the discussion about deadlines, the Morenista leader, Luisa María Alcalde, announced a clause preventing any family member from succeeding another in a public position within the party.
Saúl Monreal expressed his support for his brothers David and Ricardo but did not rule out seeking the governorship of Zacatecas with another party. Regarding the possibility of running in 2027, Saúl stated, "I am ready and attentive to any circumstance." The reform has generated tensions in Morena, especially among the Monreals, where three figures could be affected if the reform comes into effect in 2027: Ruth González Silva, Félix Salgado Macedonio, and Saúl Monreal.
The coordinator of the Morena deputies, Ricardo Monreal, took a firm stance in favor of the law and the Constitution, indicating that it would not be correct for Saúl to replace his brother in the governorship. Saúl, for his part, highlighted his independent political career of 27 years and his desire to be a professional politician.
Despite possible family disagreements, Saúl reiterated his strong aspiration for the governorship of Zacatecas, although he acknowledged not feeling like his brother David's favorite. With the support of polls, Saúl remains focused on his principles and consistency, prepared for what the political future holds.
