The Morena party in Mexico ~~is facing~~ continues to face legal scrutiny and ~~pursuing~~ pursue legislative changes regarding electoral processes. The Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judiciary (TEPJF) issued rulings against Morena for electoral violations. In Baja California, the tribunal upheld a fine against the party after members reportedly conducted affiliations among social program beneficiaries near federal welfare offices in Tijuana. Regarding complaints from Movimiento Ciudadano about alleged early campaign activities in Tabasco and Chihuahua, the Superior Chamber ruled there was no evidence of a coordinated “national strategy,” directing those specific cases to local authorities. Morena has responded with legislative initiatives and legal complaints. In the Chamber of Deputies, the party proposed a law to establish criteria for annulling elections if media coverage is deemed “undue,” defined as systematic activity intended to influence voters rather than serving a journalistic purpose. This proposal, which seeks to amend the General Law of the System of Media Means of Impugnation in Electoral Matters, has sparked debate over the boundaries between regulating propaganda and protecting freedom of expression. Due to concerns regarding how these distinctions would be determined and the potential impact on press freedom, the discussion led by Morena deputy Víctor Hugo Lobo Román has been postponed until next year. Additionally, legal actions have been initiated against political opponents. Morena legislators from Hidalgo filed complaints against PRI Senator Carolina Viggiano Austria, alleging illicit enrichment and tax irregularities related to a luxury property. Meanwhile, the group México Nuevo filed a criminal complaint with the Fiscalía General de la República against the Governor of Oaxaca, Salomón Jara, alleging involvement in organized crime.
