The Morena party is conducting internal processes to appoint coordinators for its Defense of the Fourth Transformation (4T) and National Sovereignty committees across several Mexican states. In late August, appointments and candidacies were reported in Sinaloa, Baja California Sur, Querétaro, Tlaxcala, and Sonora. While some leaders called for party unity to prevent internal fractures, critics questioned the party’s use of telephone surveys to filter candidates, suggesting the method might exclude rural and low-income populations. By early September, the process continued in Chihuahua, where aspirants indicated that coordinator designations were expected by the end of the month. Concurrently, in Nuevo León, Morena figures criticized the state administration, accusing Governor Samuel García of mismanaging resources and demanding transparency regarding budget usage. On September 6, political activity in Chihuahua intensified as former Ciudad Juárez mayor Cruz Pérez Cuéllar campaigned for the Morena coordination role, anticipating a formal designation within the month. Simultaneously, legislator Cuauhtémoc Estrada Sotelo raised concerns regarding the push for an autonomous State Prosecutor's Office, arguing the process lacks necessary citizen participation and open parliamentary forums. On a national legislative level, Ricardo Monreal announced plans for a ‘fast track’ approval of a constitutional reform to prohibit dual nationality, ensuring those seeking high office hold only Mexican citizenship. This process is expected to proceed without an open parliament for citizen consultation. Morena official Citlalli Hernández defended the reform as a matter of national sovereignty and self-determination in response to international critiques. President Claudia Sheinbaum is now advocating for this constitutional reform to prohibit individuals holding dual nationality from seeking the presidency or other executive offices. The measure aims to ensure absolute loyalty to the Mexican state and prevent potential international interference.
