The Morena party is characterized by operating unidirectionally, showing the ability to call for and control the narrative from President Sheinbaum downwards. A recent document signed by Morena leaders in both legislative chambers made it clear that any attempt to question the party's decisions would be harshly suppressed. This stance suggests a hardening of the new government's policies and dismisses the possibility of moderation or dialogue with the opposition.
Despite the criticisms, President Sheinbaum did not completely dissociate herself from the initiative, describing its publication as "awful." This fact adds to other recent displays of power by Morena, such as a meeting between the president and a businessman and the setting of ambitious goals. The intention to limit the Judiciary to prevent the review of Morena's decisions generated a strong political and media impact.
Some key events have revealed a clear strategy by Morena to consolidate its power, without encountering significant opposition. The proposal for a legislative "supremacy" that would nullify judicial checks has generated concern among the population. Although it was announced that a specific change to Article One of the Constitution would not be included, the proposed reform retains its ability to limit the judiciary's power.
The meeting between Claudia Sheinbaum and Carlos Slim at the National Palace, followed by the announcement of new constitutional reforms by Morena, has conveyed a message of reassurance despite the criticisms. The mobilization and affiliation of ten million people in support of the reforms reinforce the party's image of control and ambition.
As the political situation intensifies, the question arises whether there is any plan from the opposition to confront the concentration of power in Morena's hands. The party's clear show of strength and its internal discipline contrast with the lack of visible resistance from other political sectors. The situation serves as a wake-up call about the future of democracy in Mexico and the need for a strategic response to recent events.
