Morena leaders hold nationwide assemblies urging defense of the Fourth Transformation and national sovereignty

Across multiple Mexican states, elected officials and aspiring coordinators of Morena’s grassroots network convened public assemblies to reaffirm support for the government’s Fourth Transformation agenda and to call for the defence of national sovereignty. Federal deputy Zenyazen Escobar highlighted security, education and social‑program achievements in Veracruz, while local aspirants such as Rafa Marín (Santa Cecilia), Guadalupe Eguiluz (Guerrero), Estrella Palacios (Escuinapa, Sinaloa), Verónica Díaz (Jerez, Zacatecas), Omar López Campos (Sinaloa), Ana Lilia Rivera (Tlaxcala) and María Dolores del Río (Sonora) used similar rallies to stress the need for territorial organisation, unity and continued delivery of programmes like pensions and scholarships. The gatherings were framed as part of a broader “Defence of the Transformation and National Sovereignty” tour aimed at maintaining party cohesion ahead of internal candidate selection for the 2027 elections. In a related development, former Morena leader Héctor Díaz‑Polanco announced his departure from the party’s capital‑city leadership, while deputy Arturo Ávila publicly criticised businessman Ricardo Salinas Pliego for a social‑media post urging U.S. ICE action against Mexican migrants, linking the episode to perceived opposition hostility toward Mexico.

These events illustrate Morena’s ongoing effort to mobilise its base, highlight policy gains and counter external criticism as the party prepares for upcoming electoral contests.
