Morena fails to reclaim Jalisco oversight commission amid PRI push for 2027 opposition alliance

In the Jalisco state congress, Morena’s parliamentary group was unable to secure the presidency of the Commission of Surveillance and Anti‑Corruption. The commission remains headed by PVEM legislator Alberto Alfaro García after a vote fell short of the required 20 votes, with 19 in favor of change and a decisive abstention by PRI legislator Alondra Fausto. Votes came from eight Morena deputies, three PAN, three Hagamos, one PRI, two Futuro and two PT members, while the opposition bloc voted to keep the status quo.

Morena coordinator Miguel de la Rosa claimed that foundational agreements of the 64th Legislature were being ignored and accused Governor Pablo Lemus of pressuring parliamentary coordinators to alter their votes. He warned that keeping Alfaro in charge hampers the legislature’s ability to oversee state government spending and municipal finances.

Separately, PRI coordinator Rubén Moreira announced that the PRI is proposing an alliance with PAN and MC for the 2027 elections, framing the coalition as a defense against federal government overreach and organized‑crime influence. He criticized the federal administration for diverting state resources to projects such as Tren Maya, the Dos Bocas refinery and an underperforming airport.
