Gerardo Fernández Noroña, a senator from the Morena party in Mexico, has expressed doubts about the likelihood of President Claudia Sheinbaum's electoral reform passing in the near future. During an interview, he indicated that the outcome may lean towards a 'no' in the coming days. Noroña referenced a past trip to India, explaining that in such contexts, people say 'difficult' when they feel something is unlikely to happen, suggesting that he views the reform's approval in a similarly pessimistic light.

Noroña also pointed out internal conflicts within Morena, suggesting that the party needs more open spaces to debate its differences. He warned against the internal strife within Morena while rival parties like the PRI and PAN watch from the sidelines, taking advantage of their divisions. He believes that such conflicts could weaken the party's position and diminish its chances of passing important legislative reforms like Sheinbaum's.

The electoral reform in question, introduced to the Chamber of Deputies earlier in March, aims to amend 11 articles of the Mexican Constitution. It is essential for political observers to monitor how debates within Morena unfold and whether these internal divisions will ultimately hinder the advancement of critical reforms. The implications of this reform could significantly shape Mexico's political landscape, particularly as the country approaches more elections, making Noroña’s comments particularly relevant.
