Morena Expels Hernán Bermúdez, Alleged 'La Barredora' Leader

Party leaders cite a July CNHJ case as the basis for canceling his membership.

Overview

  • The CNHJ definitively canceled Hernán Bermúdez Requena’s Morena registration after a provisional suspension imposed in July.
  • The July proceeding relied on press reports, official memos and Security Cabinet statements as supporting material.
  • Luisa María Alcalde said Bermúdez is in jail due to actions by Morena-led governments and denied impunity within the party.
  • Alcalde stated there is no formal complaint or known investigation against Senator Adán Augusto López Hernández within the CNHJ.
  • Party leadership rejected comparisons to the Genaro García Luna case and noted that senators will decide autonomously on their coordination leadership.
