Mexican Ruling Coalition Confirms Unity and Support for Sheinbaum

Leaders of Mexico's three ruling parties—Morena, the Labor Party, and the Greens—signed a joint statement declaring the coalition's unity and reaffirming their support for President Claudia Sheinbaum. They emphasized that the movement for the 'Fourth Transformation' is stronger than ever and refuted rumors of a potential split within the ruling bloc.


Mexican Ruling Coalition Confirms Unity and Support for Sheinbaum

The opposition, which has no agenda, is rubbing its hands to see us divided, but we are telling them loud and clear that this movement is stronger than ever. The ecologist senator, Karen Castrejón, stated that the ruling forces have decided to 'accompany the transformation project' and 'continue building agreements for the well-being of Mexico with full responsibility, dialogue, and a long-term vision.' 'The opposition, which has no agenda, is rubbing its hands to see us divided, but we are telling them loud and clear that this movement is stronger than ever heading towards 2027,' assured Luisa María Alcalde, who detailed that the three ruling parties are committed to supporting Claudia Sheinbaum for next year's and 2030's elections. 'We will continue to support the president and continue building agreements between allied forces so that this second floor of the transformation translates into concrete results,' she added. Finally, the leader of the PT, Alberto Anaya, declared that his party 'has been, is, and will be the most solid ally of the 4T.' 'The alliance is stronger than ever in supporting our president.' Layda's fury over a potential 4T-MC pact: handing over Campeche in exchange for NL in 2027. Wednesday's declaration comes at a time of tension for the ruling party due to the disputes generated by the electoral reform initiative promoted by President Claudia Sheinbaum, which could end public party financing and proportional representation, two fundamental aspects for the PT and the Greens, who do not view these intentions favorably. 'The transformation is stronger than ever,' they stated during an event they led on Wednesday, at which they did not provide details about the electoral reform promoted by the head of state and which generates internal resentments in the coalition. 'We are betting on the 4T and have succeeded in maintaining the coalition not only for 2027, but also for 2030.' Awaiting its treatment in Congress, different figures from the two parties, such as the PT coordinator, Reginaldo Sandoval, or the ecologist senator Luis Armando Melgar Bravo, pointed against said proposal and anticipated the refusal of their political forces. In this sense, this afternoon's declaration seeks to reduce the tensions that have arisen in recent weeks due to these discussions and the electoral arrangement for the 2027 elections, where Morena, the PT, and the Greens are disputing the leadership of the different executive and legislative ballots that the ruling alliance will present. 'Let there be no doubt about this,' he declared and deepened: 'Whoever wants to see fissures, cracks, whoever wants to think that the coalition can crumble, we tell them they are wrong.' 'We reiterate our support, prioritizing the interest of Mexico above any party interest,' he added. However, none of the three figures who took the microphone on Wednesday made reference to these topics, although all coincided in expressing their support for the head of state. The president of Morena, Luisa María Alcalde, the leader of the Labor Party, Alberto Anaya, and the national leader of the Green Party, Karen Castrejón, signed a joint declaration through which they reaffirmed the unity of the ruling alliance and their support for the head of state, Claudia Sheinbaum.
