Internal Conflict in Morena Over Durango Election

Sources close to Morena leader Luisa María Alcalde blame Andy for the Durango election loss, claiming he failed to mobilize supporters despite Banco del Bienestar's massive client base.


Internal Conflict in Morena Over Durango Election

According to sources close to Luisa María, it was precisely this mismanagement that caused her to lose the election in Durango. She brought the entire Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) into Morena, but at the crucial moment, they didn't come out to vote. The situation becomes even more complex when considering the data from Banco del Bienestar, which, according to official figures, has nearly 26 million clients, almost all of whom are recipients of social programs. The numbers of the entity led by Víctor Lamoyi, a man placed there by Andy in the previous six-year term, show that it is becoming more complicated for the aid recipients to have a strong connection with the 4T (Fourth Transformation). "With that universe of our supporters, our mobilized vote should be higher. Imagine that BBVA, which is the largest bank in Mexico, has 30 million customers," they point out in Morena. LPO revealed that Andy had doubts about the handling of the delegates of Bienestar in the states, warning that they were more focused on local squabbles than on mobilizing the beneficiaries of the support programs. Andrés López Beltrán closed a turbulent year with the news that Morena surpassed 10 million members, which was announced last Friday by the leader, Luisa María Alcalde. However, in the leader's inner circle, there are still misgivings about Andy's role, and they allege that the truly committed Morena voters, according to their estimates, are around 7 million members. They claim that the number reached by the Secretary of Organization was achieved by adding people without a real commitment to the brand.
