Political tensions in Michoacán have centered on Senator Raúl Morón Orozco, involving both criminal allegations and internal party disputes. In October, state legislator Baltazar Gaona García called for an apology to Morón from the ‘Movimiento del Sombrero’ group, arguing that accusations linking Morón to the murder of former Uruapan Mayor Carlos Manzo Rodríguez had damaged his political image. Gaona stated that investigations had not provided evidence linking Morón to the homicide. An independent deputy from the group declined to apologize, suggesting grievances be handled through legal channels. By November, the focus shifted to internal leadership disputes within the Morena alliance. Morón and the Labor Party (PT) challenged the legitimacy of surveys used to appoint Carlos Torres Piña as state coordinator. The PT asserted that a national agreement exists to conduct a new survey to define leadership for the 2027 elections. Morón presented a separate survey from October that reportedly showed him as the winner, intensifying the dispute over democratic legitimacy within the movement. In early November, friction intensified as Morón reiterated his intention to represent the 4T movement in the 2027 elections. While Morena leadership suggested the internal process was concluded, the PT intervened, claiming the previous measurement lacked transparency and failed to provide verifiable methodology or results. Morón stated he would accept the outcome of a new, legitimate measurement if it did not favor him, but maintained that current designations were driven by political determination rather than democratic procedures.
