Overview
- The party completed the designation of 17 state coordinators this week, with high‑profile picks including Andrea Chávez for Ciudad Juárez and Clara Luz Flores in Nuevo León.
- National officials say the Comisión Nacional de Elecciones is empowered by the convocatoria and survey data to make direct appointments, a practice the leadership defends as lawful and strategic.
- Critics inside Morena call some acts of selection a dedazo and describe the appointments as consolation prizes, prompting protests, demands for mirror surveys, and the formation of alternative movements.
- Top leaders have launched an operación cicatriz of meetings and public unity displays, using the party’s 15th‑anniversary event to urge austerity, discipline, and open backing for President Claudia Sheinbaum.
- The dispute risks weakening coalition discipline with the PT and PVEM and could affect ground organization for 2027, so party managers are prioritizing outreach to dissatisfied aspirants and monitoring further defections.
