Diego 'N', the mayor of Tequila, Jalisco, has allegedly been leading a criminal political group involved in extortion and kidnappings, while also misusing his power within the Morena political party. Reports indicate that he has been actively recruiting party members by offering bribes, benefits, and running car raffles. Notably, he hosted a Christmas party last year where a car emblazoned with Morena's logo was raffled off to attendees,

Currently incarcerated at the Altiplano prison on charges of aggravated kidnapping and organized crime, Diego 'N' has faced scrutiny from his party for his recruitment methods. The Morena party has initiated expulsion proceedings against him, which began on January 29, just one week prior to his detention. These actions are part of the party's compliance with internal regulations that dictate the need for free and voluntary affiliation, prohibiting coercion or financial inducements for membership.

The situation highlights the ongoing issues of corruption and criminality within local political structures in Mexico, raising questions about the influence of criminal organizations in politics and the integrity of party governance. The actions taken by Morena to expel Diego 'N' may also reflect a broader strategy to cleanse the party's image amidst significant scrutiny from both the public and law enforcement.
