Xóchitl Gálvez, the opposition candidate for the presidency from PRI-PAN-PRD, has publicly demanded President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to take steps to clear his name amidst allegations linking him to drug cartels. Gálvez asserts that if the President is genuinely interested in proving his innocence regarding alleged funds from narcotics traffickers during his 2006 campaign, he should file a formal complaint in the United States. Gálvez highlights the importance of the President being proactive in restoring his reputation since, according to her, he has been the most implicated in these allegations.

During a recent press conference known as the 'Mañanera de la Verdad', Gálvez fiercely criticized Obrador, pointing to alleged connections between the ruling party, Morena, and organized crime. She provided claims suggesting that credible evidence exists indicating Morena's involvement with criminal organizations. Gálvez's assertions are part of the escalating campaign rhetoric as the elections approach, reflecting the heightened tensions between political adversaries.

This confrontation represents a significant political tactic as Gálvez aims to undermine the credibility of President López Obrador and his party. The discourse surrounding allegations of narco-funding not only intensifies the political landscape in Mexico but also raises broader concerns regarding the intersection of politics and crime. As the electoral process unfolds, the implications of these accusations could heavily influence public perception and voter sentiments towards Morena and the current administration.
