Overview

• Senator Saúl Monreal reaffirmed that his aspiration to run remains intact and cited 27 years of political experience as his credential.
• He said he will respect Morena’s timelines but argued he should not be disqualified solely for being Governor David Monreal’s brother.
• Monreal left open the possibility of running with another party if Morena’s internal process lacks transparency, though he emphasized he will first fight inside the party.
• President Claudia Sheinbaum responded that any move to another party would be judged by voters and recommended patience given his age and political future.
• Deputy Ricardo Monreal said he felt “encorralado” during Sheinbaum’s public event, underscoring ongoing tensions as the party enforces its anti‑nepotism statute ahead of 2027.
