Morena Says Fox Is Reassembling the 'Mafia del Poder' After Talks With PRI

The party warns the meetings point to a reconstituted elite bloc that could threaten the Fourth Transformation.

Overview

  • Former president Vicente Fox held separate talks in recent weeks with PAN leader Jorge Romero and representatives of Somos México and then met PRI leader Alejandro Moreno at the party’s national headquarters, press reports confirm.
  • Morena’s national committee issued a formal denunciation, saying Fox’s contacts amount to a regrouping of the so-called 'mafia del poder' and dismissing any presented 'citizen' alternative as the old regime in a new guise.
  • The party framed the meetings as a repeat of past PRIPAN accommodations, citing episodes from 1988, 2000, 2006 and the 2012 Pacto por México to argue a recurring pattern of elite cooperation.
  • No formal multi-party alliance or electoral pact has been announced and coverage so far documents meetings and partisan accusations rather than institutional agreements.
  • Morena framed the dispute as a choice for 2027 voters between an elite-backed return and its Fourth Transformation program, warning the regrouping could pressure policy on social programs, wages and rights if it coalesces.
