PRI leaders accuse Mexico's Morena of illegal campaign spending and election rule breaches

PRI officials in Mexico said the ruling Morena party is violating electoral law by using “coordinadores 4T” to promote candidates before the official campaign period, giving the party an unfair advantage and receiving lenient treatment from electoral authorities. Ricardo Medina Farfán warned that this practice creates legal gaps and unequal sanctions, while Guillermo Valencia claimed a recent Morena rally in Morelia cost well over one million pesos, far beyond the reported 50,000‑peso figure.

Commentators also pointed to broader concerns about Morena's internal leadership and upcoming legal issues, including the pending extradition request by the United States for Sinaloa Governor Rubén Rocha Moya and allegations of organized‑crime influence in the electoral process.
