The difficulties he has faced during his government are not minor: various accidents in the Metro, among which the collapse of Line 12 stands out; he has not been able to noticeably reduce homicides or car theft or assaults on public transport. The electoral battle will not be easy, since in 2021 Morena lost six mayoralties, with the opposition (PAN-PRI-PRD) managing to govern in nine of the 16.
The fight will not be smooth within the president’s party either: Omar García Harfuch (Secretary of Public Security), Mario Delgado (national leader of Morena), Clara Brugada (Mayor of Iztapalapa), Martí Batres (Government Secretary) and even Rosa Icela Rodríguez (Federal Secretary of Security) are the possible contenders.
In Chiapas, violence has broken out in recent days, with shootings and roadblocks. San Cristóbal de las Casas and Oxchuc have recently been in the news, as migrants continue to try to enter the country to achieve their dream of reaching the United States. Rutilio Escandón Cadenas is the one who governs the entity, which stood out for the atypical support for the president in the revocation process.
Among the candidates for governor for Morena in this state in the south of the country are Zoé Robledo (general director of the IMSS), Rosa Irene Urbina (municipal president of Tapachula) and Eduardo Ramírez Aguilar (senator).
Cuauhtémoc Blanco can boast of his success kicking a ball, but not exercising government. In Morelos acts of violence do not stop either; a prison in Cuautla was recently attacked. The former soccer player has turned out to be a controversial governor, who accumulates various accusations and scandals. On the one hand, a 17-day trip to Brazil was claimed, where he visited the legendary Maracana stadium, and, on the other, he has been accused of appearing in photographs with alleged criminals.
It will be necessary to see if Blanco’s fame as a scorer is enough to retain for Morena, not being him from that party (PES), the governorship. Among those who aspire to replace him are Rabindranath Salazar (undersecretary of the Interior), Lucía Virginia Meza (senator), Rafael Reyes (municipal president of Jiutepec) and Juan Ángel Flores (municipal president of Jojutla).
