In a recent press conference, Alejandro Moreno, the national leader of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), addressed challenges posed by Luisa María Alcalde, a leader of the Morena party. Alcalde had criticized Moreno and other opposition leaders concerning their stance on electoral reform, specifically about who should determine the plurinominal lists. She urged these leaders to clarify their position on whether voters or party members should have the final say in these listings, suggesting a more democratic process for legislative representation.

Moreno retorted by highlighting his extensive political experience, noting that he has held multiple elected positions such as syndicate, senator, and governor of Campeche, all of which were obtained through public voting. He underlined that while he was elected by the people, Alcalde was appointed to her role as secretary of government by former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. This exchange underscores ongoing tensions between the PRI and Morena parties, particularly around the sensitive issue of electoral reforms in Mexico.

The confrontation reflects not only personal political rivalries but also the broader debate on electoral integrity and party democracy in Mexico. As both parties prepare for upcoming elections, their positions regarding these reforms will likely influence voter perceptions and the overall political landscape, raising questions about how power is shared and represented in the Mexican political system.
