Overview

• The Morena caucus in the Chamber of Deputies approved a new vicecoordination and designated Dolores Padierna to the post, according to coordinator Ricardo Monreal.
• Monreal characterized the vote as unanimous and framed the move as a step to preserve unity within the parliamentary group.
• Gabriela Jiménez remains as vicecoordinator under the arrangement, which leaders presented as a way to avoid removing her from the role.
• The reorganization follows Padierna’s loss of the Mesa Directiva vice presidency to Sergio Gutiérrez Luna, prompting an internal accommodation.
• Jiménez told reporters there had been repeated attempts to oust her, including pressure from a group of about 25 lawmakers, and expressed confidence the new setup will calm tensions.
