In early June, a magistrate of Mexico’s Supreme Electoral Tribunal drafted a ruling to overturn the INE’s sanction of PAN’s “Los traicionaron” ad, citing protection for political criticism. The tribunal later upheld PAN’s gender‑parity amendment and cleared leader Jorge Romero to run for re‑election, though a dissenting judge warned of unequal conditions for future female candidates. Governor María Eugenia Campos Galván of Chihuahua faced renewed Morena criticism for a 12‑day absence, which she framed as work done outside the governor’s office and denounced the federal government as a “government of death.” Security concerns persisted as the state attorney‑general post remained vacant for over two months, prompting Morena deputies to question the governor’s loyalty‑based appointments. PAN’s internal renewal continued with several female leadership appointments across Veracruz, Puebla, and Tamaulipas. In August 2026, PAN state president Daniela Álvarez launched the “Muerte y Morena es lo mismo” campaign, accusing Morena of colluding with organized crime and opposing a state electoral reform. Concurrently, PAN parliamentary coordinator Alfredo Chávez and Movimiento Ciudadano deputy Francisco Sánchez presented a constitutional amendment to grant Chihuahua’s Fiscalía General autonomy, proposing an eight‑year term, budget independence, and removal only for serious causes. ~~The proposal, which seeks a qualified majority of 22 of 33 legislators, aims to protect investigations from political and criminal influence.~~ During legislative debates, PRI state president Alex Domínguez warned that autonomy must be balanced with transparency, noting concerns that an ~~eight-year~~ eight‑year term could allow an official to remain in power for 16 years. Morena coordinator Edin Cuauhtémoc Estrada Sotelo suggested adding specialized units for indigenous peoples and people with disabilities. ~~Additionally,~~ In late August, Cruz Pérez Cuéllar questioned the governor’s ~~intentions,~~ intention to appoint a prosecutor for an eight-year term, suggesting ~~the appointment~~ it is an attempt to secure political ~~protection, and~~ protection before she leaves office. He called for an ‘Open Parliament’ to ensure transparency.
