In late July ~~2026,~~ 2026 leaked audio recordings allegedly showed Baja California governor Marina del Pilar Ávila speaking with presumed U.S. agents. Morena deputy Juan Manuel Molina cited the penal code and demanded a six‑to‑twelve‑year prison term for the alleged disclosure of intercepted communications, while party president Ariadna Montiel said the case would be left to authorities. A week later a video from a closed‑door meeting surfaced, depicting former governor and senator Jaime Bonilla issuing threats and insults toward Ávila. Morena’s national leadership responded by urging state party unity, establishing a mediation table, and noting formal disciplinary requests. The state Congress also called for an investigation. The controversy touched on a cancelled multimillion‑dollar contract alleged by Bonilla to involve irregularities and revived rumors of Ávila’s contacts with U.S. agents. The newly released video, viewed over 500,000 times on social media, includes Bonilla’s explicit threat – “Le voy a romper su madre a Marina…”. It also repeats the claim that a multimillion‑dollar Fisamex contract was irregular. In response, 18 Baja California deputies signed a statement backing the governor, and Morena’s disciplinary commission received two formal requests to review Bonilla’s conduct. The mediation table is headed by the party’s secretary‑general. The episode also re‑highlights allegations that Ávila paid $300,000 to a former FBI adviser. Together, the leaks have intensified a power struggle within Morena in Baja California, prompting legal calls, internal disciplinary measures, and ongoing efforts to contain the dispute.
