Morena party holds nationwide assemblies defending sovereignty

Mexico's ruling Morena party launched a series of public assemblies titled “defensa de la soberanía.” State party leader Héctor Díaz Polanco posted about the first meeting in the Álvaro Obregón borough of Mexico City, attended by deputies Valentina Batres and Camila Martínez and party officials. The events are part of a national drive of 2,600 assemblies scheduled between June and September, aiming for one meeting in every municipality and a door‑to‑door outreach of 30 million visits before the end of the year. The rollout follows Morena’s loss in Coahuila and includes internal appointments such as Manuel Jesús Zavala Salazar as acting secretary of organization.

Senator Luis Alfonso Silva Romo, campaigning for President Claudia Sheinbaum, held a similar assembly in Santa Ana Tlapacoyan, Oaxaca, where he linked sovereignty to local traditions—mezcal, palm‑weaving, and bread‑making—and cited a proposed constitutional reform to reinforce Mexico’s independence from foreign interference. The gatherings reflect Morena’s strategy to mobilize support ahead of the 2027 federal elections.
