Morena 'fixes' Anti-nepotism Reform: Salgado and Monreal Are Saved

Mexico City.-MORENA has decided to postpone the implementation of its anti-nepotism reform until 2030, instead of 2027 as planned. This change benefits politicians like Félix Salgado Macedonio and Saúl Monreal, and other relatives. It will allow them to participate in future elections without the restrictions of the new legislation.

Political negotiations and concessions

The decision to delay the reform arose after intense negotiations with the Green Ecologist Party of Mexico (PVEM). The PVEM set conditions to offer its support for the measure. The influence of the PVEM was decisive, forcing MORENA to yield to ensure consensus in the Senate.

Reactions and criticisms

The modification has caused criticism from political opponents, citizens, and analysts. They question the ruling party's commitment to transparency and the fight against nepotism.

The postponement is seen as a maneuver to protect influential politicians from MORENA, ensuring their participation in the upcoming elections without restrictions.

Future implications

The change in date raises questions about the power dynamics within MORENA and its effectiveness in promoting real political change, which it had promised. While some members argue that the postponement will allow for a smoother transition, critics claim it delays the adoption of measures to improve Mexico's democratic quality.

This legislative adjustment underscores the complex interaction between partisan politics and reforms in Mexico. By delaying it until 2030, MORENA ensures short-term political flexibility. However, it faces the risk of eroding public trust and its image as a party committed to eradicating corrupt practices.
