Overview

• Senate coordinators Manuel Velasco and Waldo Fernández said the PVEM stands behind President Claudia Sheinbaum and her agenda, stressing that any alliance decisions rest with national party leadership.
• Luis Armando Melgar Bravo, PVEM senator for Chiapas, posted a harsh message on X on Sept. 7 attacking Morena figures and invoking the prospect of a split.
• Sheinbaum responded that alliance strategy is Morena’s remit and noted that the three parties that nominated her have continued to vote together in Congress.
• PVEM figure Arturo Escobar denied pushing to break with Morena and said the party will back Sheinbaum through her term, while previously signaling the Verde could consider independent bids in 2027.
• Analyses highlight the PVEM’s limited standalone electoral strength and Morena’s incentive to preserve allied labels to maximize congressional numbers, factors that keep the partnership intact yet tense.
