The key is to deploy lawmakers in different regions of the state to reinforce political presence, build structure, and accompany the electoral process from the territory. Andy is seeking electoral revenge in Coahuila and says that if he wins two districts, it will be a success. This decision is not minor. In 2023, the ruling party tried to break that hegemony, but internal divisions, particularly in the definition of candidacies, ended up weakening its competitiveness and paved the way for the victory of the current governor, Manolo Jiménez. The governor of Coahuila, Manolo Jiménez, seeks to maintain the PRI's hegemony in the state. In the party, they admit that one of the main risks is repeating the mistakes of the recent past, so the territorial deployment also aims to contain internal tensions and align the different groups that coexist within Morena in the state. Furthermore, the legislative calendar favors the territorial operation. With the ordinary session set to end on April 30th and a recess extending until September, federal deputies will have more room to travel to Coahuila and fully focus on the campaign. In Morena, they explain that this window will be key to intensifying their presence in the territory just as the final stretch towards the June election begins. Looking ahead to 2029, the objective is to build a competitive structure, consolidate local leadership, and prevent the PRI from retaining one of its last historical strongholds. According to what LPO could learn, this Wednesday a meeting was held in San Lázaro with ruling party federal deputies, where the start of a territorial operation was defined. The party confirmed to LPO that meetings in San Lázaro will continue while the territorial deployment map and the specific roles that federal lawmakers will assume in the campaign are defined. On Sunday the 7th, 25 local seats will be renewed, 16 by relative majority and nine by proportional representation. During the meeting, Deputy Emiliano Álvarez conveyed the party's instruction. The entity has been under PRI rule for almost a century, consolidating itself as one of its last territorial bastions. In Morena, they recognize that Coahuila represents one of the most complex challenges for the 4T in the north of the country, due to both its political history and the entrenched nature of PRI structures. Coahuila remains one of the few states where Morena has not yet managed to govern. The month of June is a key date in the country's political calendar. It is an election that, although legislative, is seen by all forces as a thermometer heading towards the dispute for the governorship in 2029. In this context, Morena has already begun to move its structure.
