After last Friday the Morenoist senator Félix Salgado Macedonio stated that the Labor parties (PT) and the Green Ecologist of Mexico (PVEM) “alone do not win” –as a way of criticizing the lack of support from some sectors of those parties for the electoral reform of President Claudia Sheinbaum–, one of the Green legislators pointed out that in his party they are not willing to support said amendment and even announced that the alliance could break in some elections.
On his X account, Pevemista senator Luis Armando Melgar Bravo published: “We eat some tacos with our tongue. @PartidoMorenaMx and their hardliners insist that the Green does not exist without them. “They are wrong.”
Melgar Bravo – who does not represent the position of his entire bench – added: “We are not going to vote for an electoral reform that seeks a single party. We are allies, not paleros. Fear does not walk on a donkey.”
In that same tone, Melgar added that “in 2027 we are going to go alone where we lead the polls. We will see how it turns out. No to manipulation, no to electoral regression. Mexico needs to advance in freedom and not return to the totalitarian past.”
The statements of both Salgado Macedonio and Melgar Bravo occur at a time when various legislators from the PT and the PVEM have expressed criticism and skepticism regarding the electoral reform initiative that the federal president will send to Congress, and have even questioned the relevance of the amendment.
This is not the first time that Melgar Bravo criticizes members of Morena, whom he called “rats” and accused them of having leaked photos of a trip he made to Europe in July 2025. The Green senator has also publicly claimed his closeness to Ricardo Salinas Pliego, whom he describes as “a successful and honest businessman.”
