Saúl Monreal Challenges Morena’s 2027 Anti-Nepotism Rule, Says Zacatecas Faction Is Targeting Him

Luisa María Alcalde restated the bar on relatives for 2027 ballots, urging unity in the Zacatecas dispute.

Overview

  • Following Alcalde’s visit to the state, Monreal posted a nearly five-minute video accusing Morena’s Zacatecas leadership and an unnamed group of a campaign to discredit him, then deleted it.
  • He reiterated his interest in the 2027 governorship, declaring that if Zacatecans want him as governor he will be, despite the party’s restriction.
  • Monreal alleged a group is manipulating his brother, Governor David Monreal, and warned that internal sectarianism could cost Morena the governorship in 2027.
  • He denied using government structures or social programs to boost his prospects and said he does not have a governor operating on his behalf.
  • Alcalde praised Monreal’s work but confirmed the anti‑nepotism rule will apply from 2027, noting the broader reform takes effect nationally in 2030, and later emphasized that Morena puts its project over personal interests in Zacatecas.
