Four PVEM Deputies Move to Morena, Rebalancing Mexico City Congress

The switch intensifies a fight over alleged overrepresentation as rivals prepare legal challenges.

Overview

  • Juan Estuardo Rubio Gualito, Israel Moreno Rivera, Víctor Gabriel Varela López and Iliana Ivone Sánchez Chávez formally notified their exit from PVEM and were incorporated into Morena.
  • Morena’s bloc rises from 24 to 27 seats and PVEM holds seven, with Paula Alejandra Pérez Córdova shifting from Morena to the Green group.
  • The realignment triggers commission changes, with PVEM losing the presidencies of Urban Development and Social Welfare previously led by Moreno and Varela.
  • PVEM leader Jesús Sesma says the coalition with Morena remains intact but the party will be more selective in choosing alliance candidates in 2027 and 2030.
  • PAN and PRI allege an artificial majority and will challenge the moves in court, while Morena cites constitutional free association and signals a push to cut plurinominal seats.
