Andrés Baeza seeks Morena nomination for Chihuahua's 6th District

In Chihuahua, businessman and rancher Andrés Baeza Carrasco has officially registered to participate in Morena’s internal process for the 6th Federal District, aiming for the 2027 elections. Despite his family’s historical ties to the PAN, Baeza stated his decision is personal and driven by a desire to work for the state. He acknowledged the support of Senator Andrea Chávez and noted the influence of Ciudad Juárez Mayor Cruz Pérez Cuéllar.

On a broader political level, Morena faces internal and external challenges. Discussions regarding the party's leadership in Chihuahua follow the emergence of Cruz Pérez Cuéllar as a virtual candidate for governor. Meanwhile, political analysts note that while President Claudia Sheinbaum maintains high approval ratings, the administration faces risks including deteriorating public finances, potential credit rating downgrades, and tensions with the United States regarding security and drug trafficking agendas.
