Anaya said he does not fear retaliation from Morena supporters.
In July 2023, Anaya, who after losing the 2018 election to Andrés Manuel López Obrador became the first target to run in the 2024 presidential election, did not register as a candidate for representative of the Frente Amplio por México.
For years, Anaya maintained his appearances through videos that he posted on social media on a weekly basis, in which he expressed his opinions.
Since 2021, Ricardo Anaya has been out of Mexico and out of public appearances, after it was revealed that he was under investigation.
Emilio Lozoya, former director of Pemex, accused him of allegedly having received at least 6.8 million pesos so that as a federal deputy he would vote in favor of the energy reform.
