The ruling Morena party seeks to mitigate the negative impact of the expected rejection of the electoral reform bill. Andrea Chávez has focused her campaign on Chihuahua, leaving the spokesperson role to Julieta Ramírez. It comes as no surprise to the Morena parliamentary group that the reform will not be approved. «It shouldn't have been her flagship issue, but rather that of a member of Congress, so that the refusal would not fall directly on her,» a Morena deputy stated in an interview with LPO. Nevertheless, the 4T (Fourth Transformation) warns that the lack of support from the PT (Labor Party) and the Verde (Green Party) for the electoral reform could have consequences in negotiations for the 2027 election candidacies. The coordinator of Morena in the Chamber of Deputies, Ricardo Monreal, has already informed his parliamentary group that the initiative will not be approved this Wednesday in the plenary session. He is preparing an express session with few interventions in the tribune with the aim of the blow to the ruling party occurring as quickly and quietly as possible. At least three figures in the Morena bloc in San Lázaro (the Chamber of Deputies) acknowledged to LPO that on Tuesday morning, Ricardo Monreal informed them that the electoral reform promoted by Claudia Sheinbaum will not be approved due to the lack of support from the Green Party and the PT. In this way, the consideration of the electoral reform on Wednesday in the Chamber of Deputies could be an express session, without major speeches or debates in the plenary, so that it generates a limited impact on public opinion and the head of state. Uncertainty in Morena because the Council did not approve the call for elections. At the same time, the ruling party is analyzing strategies to turn the legislative setback that will arrive in the coming hours into an opportunity for Sheinbaum herself. The attempts by President Claudia Sheinbaum to pass the electoral reform she promised during her campaign seem to be coming to an end. In response, she has announced that Wednesday's session, when the initiative is considered in the plenary, will be an express session with only one intervention per parliamentary group, with the goal of reducing controversies and discussions over a law that will not see the light. This scenario is difficult because the head of state was fully committed to the electoral reform, a point that some figures in the 4T are now watching with concern. In response, the 'guinda' (purple) party is now seeking to contain the damage from the legislative setback that President Claudia Sheinbaum will suffer, who will once again suffer a defeat at the hands of her own alliance after her initiative against nepotism was postponed from 2027 to 2030. «The intention is to make as little noise as possible,» a Morena deputy involved in the negotiations in San Lázaro to try to pass Sheinbaum's initiative told LPO in advance. «If they don't support us, we could give them less,» they anticipate in the Morena parliamentary group months before the three allies of the ruling alliance distribute the 17 states at stake and the legislative and local seats across the country. The refusal of their allies was known from the outset, and in San Lázaro the initiative cannot be approved without the votes of the Green Party and the PT. With this context, the preparations for the upcoming elections could suffer consequences, just as Claudia Sheinbaum will once again watch as one of her own initiatives is rejected by her allies.
