Overview
- Morena’s appointment of 10 state coordinators prompted protesters from Quintana Roo and Zacatecas to demand the party publish and justify the surveys used to select those officials, with demonstrations reaching Palacio Nacional on Wednesday.
- PT leader Reginaldo Sandoval warned the party could make Morena lose as many as a dozen governorships and said the PT may back politicians rejected by Morena, naming Rafael Marín Mollinedo, Geovanna Bañuelos and Raúl Morón Orozco as possible alternatives.
- The Green Party (PVEM) is publicly staking claims to influence and candidate placements in multiple states, including San Luis Potosí, Quintana Roo, Nuevo León and Nayarit, signaling competitive bargaining inside the coalition.
- Morena’s national leadership, led by Ariadna Montiel, has pledged to publish the selection surveys after all coordinator presentations are finished, but that promise has not yet eased PT and militant complaints and talks between the partners remain unresolved.
- The dispute mixes political and budgetary stakes because the PT relies on federal transfers for projects such as Cendis and faces the risk of losing party registration if its vote falls below 3 percent, a vulnerability that gives the PT leverage and could change coalition math for 2027.
