Marina del Pilar addresses campaign finance and political rumors

Baja California Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda is facing scrutiny regarding alleged campaign financing and internal political tensions within the Morena party.

Addressing allegations stemming from leaked audio, the Governor was questioned about whether businessman Amílcar Olán Aparicio provided funds for her 2021 gubernatorial campaign. While she did not explicitly confirm or deny the specific contribution from Olán, she maintained that all private financing received during her campaigns was legally declared and reported to the appropriate electoral authorities.

Separately, the Governor denied involvement in a purported smear campaign against Senator Julieta Ramírez. She attributed the rumors of internal conflict to the political opposition, claiming they are attempting to create divisions within Morena during the selection process for the party's next gubernatorial candidate. She urged party members to maintain unity and focus on governance.
