In Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, Morena deputy Blanca Anzaldúa Nájera has announced her intention to seek the party’s municipal coordination for the defense of the transformation. Anzaldúa, who has experience in teacher union organization, emphasized the importance of selecting a prepared woman to lead the municipality through a popular vote, noting that previous female mayors in the area served only as interim replacements. She clarified that her recent discussions with Governor Américo Villarreal were focused on public policy initiatives regarding autism in basic education students rather than her own political aspirations. The final selection of the candidate remains a decision for the Morena party. As multiple individuals seek the Morena candidacy for the municipal presidency, debates have emerged regarding the quality of the aspirants. Critics suggest that despite the high number of candidates, many lack the necessary professional training, public service experience, and social recognition required for the role. Concerns have been raised that some prospective candidates lack the background in business, professional practice, or social development needed to ensure effective results for both the city and its rural areas. While Morena maintains a strong position in the region, the balance between candidates with territorial knowledge and those utilizing media for self-promotion remains a point of contention. Adding to these tensions, local deputy Katalyna Méndez Cepeda has warned against “fuego amigo” (friendly fire) and personal attacks among the aspirants seeking municipal coordination as the party navigates internal friction ahead of the 2027 elections. Following the conclusion of candidate registrations, Governor Américo Villarreal Anaya has called for political civility. He urged participants in Morena’s internal processes to avoid using disqualification or personal attacks to boost social perception, stating that candidates should instead build reputations through professional history and public service records. ## Claims - There are numerous aspirants seeking the Morena candidacy for the municipal presidency in Victoria.
