Ecological polls at the national level suggest a comfortable and landslide victory for Ruth González against any opposition candidate without needing an alliance with Morena. 'They are pushing their luck,' they say in the leadership of the Green Party. 'This is just empty talk,' stated the local ecologist secretary, Ignacio Segura Morquecho. This week, Luisa María Alcalde reiterated in press interviews that Morena will not maintain unity with the Green Party if the 'toucan' insists on Ruth González's candidacy, that is, the wife of the current governor, Ricardo Gallardo. 'This is just empty talk,' the state politician shot back. Tensions are growing in the run-up to next year's elections, at a time when the Green Party is trying to strengthen itself within the 4T for two reasons. Because of this, San Luis Potosí is one of the most tense scenarios for the ruling party, just like in Zacatecas with Senator Saúl Monreal, that is, the brother of David Monreal, the current state governor. The PT is outperforming Morena and erasing the 2027 recall referendum from Plan B. Following the statements of the former Secretary of the Interior under Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the Secretary General of the Green Party of San Luis Potosí, Ignacio Segura Morquecho, criticized her remarks, assuring that her words were full of 'frivolity and arrogance'. Initially, the 'toucan' voted against Plan A, but in a second instance voted in favor of Plan B, something that the party led by Senator Alberto Anaya did not do. For this reason, they believe that in the build-up to 2027, any resistance Morena may form will be centered against the red and yellow party and not necessarily against the 'toucan', which could enable Ruth González's candidacy in San Luis Potosí with or without an official alliance. As the 2027 elections approach, tensions between Morena and the Green Party are growing instead of closing. Now, the local leadership of the 'toucan' in San Luis Potosí has once again crossed swords with the leader of the 'guindo' party, Luisa María Alcalde, who reiterated that the 4T will not compete in unity in that state if Ruth González's candidacy, the wife of current Governor Ricardo Gallardo, is presented. This is due to the anti-nepotism principles promoted by the 'guindo' party nationwide after the Senate prohibited this type of candidacy only from 2030 onwards. This rejection caused displeasure in the National Palace because, in the end, the recall referendum cannot be held concurrently with the 2027 federal elections, as the government had intended. In this way, the ruling party begins to organize for 2027, where it will seek to maintain its power quotas and strengthen Claudia Sheinbaum's role. 'Indisputably, the people decide and command.' 'What a frivolity and arrogance!' 'We won two to one,' repeat various figures of the 'toucan' who are enthusiastic about strengthening the hegemony they have achieved in the state. The setback for Vargas in the court emboldened Rocha and confirmed his alliance with AMLO. The second reason, according to ecologist sources, is that the Green Party believes it managed to close the gaps that grew with Claudia Sheinbaum due to the electoral reform promoted by the head of government herself. 'So then, is it just talk?' 'But aren't we supposed to be fighting for women's rights and combating abuse against them?' 'Or only when it suits us?' 'Sooner or later, the PT will have to pay for what it did.'
