Morena disciplinary case in Puebla faces added controversy

Overview

Puebla state deputies Nayeli Salvatori and Grace Palomares, members of the ruling Morena party, were recorded making disparaging remarks about older men, describing them as “smelling like a trunk” and “rotting.” The comments triggered a social‑media backlash and accusations of age‑based discrimination. Morena’s national president Ariadna Montiel ordered the party’s internal Commission for Honesty and Justice (CNHJ) to open a disciplinary investigation, suggesting possible suspension or expulsion and a ban from running as Morena candidates in the 2027 elections.

On 6 August 2026, the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) issued a formal condemnation, classifying the statements as hate speech and ageism. A resurfaced video from Salvatori’s earlier career as a radio host showed her using sexualized insults toward a woman, leading Morena to announce a broader review of her conduct.

On 8 August 2026, the CNHJ took formal action by temporarily suspending the political rights of both Salvatori and Palomares under disciplinary file CNHJ-PUE-552/2026. This precautionary measure prevents them from voting in party deliberations, standing for nominations, or holding party leadership roles, though it does not affect their current public functions. On 10 August 2026, Morena representative Alfonso Bermúdez Ruiz clarified that the suspension does not strip them of their legal defense or current roles, noting they could potentially seek candidacy through allied parties.

On 30 August 2026, the CNHJ announced it had admitted evidence and summoned both deputies to a statutory hearing scheduled for 4 September 2026. Both legislators have submitted their defenses; Salvatori provided the full podcast video to argue for contextual analysis, while Palomares submitted technical evidence regarding social media posts. The hearing will be held remotely via Zoom to determine final sanctions, which may include definitive suspension of party membership.
