Ricardo Monreal, the president of the Coordinating Political Council and parliamentary leader of Morena in Mexico's Chamber of Deputies, has publicly avoided conflict with Layda Sansores, the governor of Campeche, following her remarks demanding he refrain from meddling in local affairs. Monreal expressed his respect for Sansores and emphasized that he would not contribute to division in the state, instead promoting a message of love and peace for Campeche’s residents. He made clear his desire to avoid further conflicts within the already troubled Morena party.

In a press conference at the San Lázaro Palace, Monreal asserted that Morena faces enough internal challenges and does not need any further disputes that could exacerbate divisions. He dismissed the notion that a split within Morena could occur, stating that it takes two parties to create division, and affirmed his commitment to unity rather than conflict. His comments reflect a broader call for solidarity within the party, particularly in the context of the upcoming elections and the necessity of maintaining cohesion to support the national leadership of President Claudia Sheinbaum.

The exchange between Monreal and Sansores highlights the tensions within the Morena party amid the pressures of governance and electoral competition. Monreal’s statement serves not only as a personal response but also as a strategic positioning within a party that is seeking to present a united front as it seeks to navigate various hurdles, both locally in Campeche and nationally across Mexico. His message may resonate with constituents who desire a more harmonious political climate, indicating a potential effort by party leaders to manage dissent and bolster support ahead of critical political contests.
