Morena Takes Over Senate Comisión de Marina After Bloc Proportionality Shift

Senate leaders cited a proportionality recalculation triggered by a PRI defection to Movimiento Ciudadano.

Overview

  • Carlos Lomelí Bolaños of Morena was installed as president of the Comisión de Marina, replacing PRI senator Alejandro “Alito” Moreno, per an agreement announced by the Mesa Directiva.
  • The Jucopo said the reassignment follows the departure of PRI senator Néstor Camarillo to Movimiento Ciudadano, which reduced the PRI caucus to 13 and altered committee distribution.
  • The agreement is dated September 18 and appears in the Gaceta del Senado, taking effect upon approval as noted in the official document.
  • PRI leaders denounced the move as political retaliation linked to their corruption allegations, while Moreno called Morena authoritarian and insisted the party’s stance will not change.
  • As part of the reconfiguration, the follow-up body for the 2030 Agenda was elevated to an ordinary commission and assigned to Movimiento Ciudadano, expanding MC’s committee leadership footprint.
