Diplomatic tension between Mexico and the US due to interference and anti-crime fight

The national leadership of the PRI intensified its attack against Morena by pointing out alleged links of the ruling party with criminal groups and possible investigations in the United States.

Accusations of Alejandro Moreno

During the XLIII Plenary Meeting of COPPPAL, Alejandro Moreno stated that there are elements that could lead to international actions. The PRI leader maintained that Morena could be considered one:

“terrorist organization that finances organized crime”

He pointed out alleged irregularities in electoral processes in Sinaloa, Tamaulipas and Tabasco.

Moreno also mentioned journalistic versions of alleged investigations by US authorities against Morena politicians. He assured that some party actors would be providing information to agencies in that country, which, he said, anticipates new investigations.

The leader stated that for more than five years he has filed complaints in Mexico and before international organizations for alleged illegal acts by Morena officials, including cases of fiscal huachicol and possible links with organized crime. He assured that these complaints are beginning to have repercussions outside the country.

Morena’s internal process

Citlalli Hernández Mora, president of the National Election Commission of Morena, denied the authenticity of a list that circulates on the definition of gender for the State Coordinations for the Defense of Transformation and National Sovereignty. He described the document as false and pointed out that it seeks to generate confusion in the internal process of the party.

Through a video broadcast on social networks, Hernández explained that the list dates back to the previous year and is invalid. He reiterated that all official information will be published exclusively through the party’s channels.

“I call on militancy and sympathizers not to share false information and to remain attentive to official statements,” he stated.

The leader indicated that the applicants will be the first to know the next stages of the process, which will then be made known in a transparent manner.

He highlighted that the movement led by President Claudia Sheinbaum seeks to strengthen new ways of doing politics, with dialogue, unity and respect for internal rules. Morena, he said, will continue to make decisions in accordance with its principles and in favor of the transformation project.

He announced that the National Elections Commission will review in the coming days the compliance with the requirements of the 277 candidates registered for the State Coordinations. In addition, a working table is maintained with the Labor Party and the Green Party to discuss the profiles before announcing the next stages.

Various financial institutions in Mexico have implemented support measures to address the emergency caused by the recent earthquakes in Venezuela. The earthquakes left damage in several communities in the South American country.

Measures of financial institutions

BBVA México reported that, through its foundation, it made an initial donation of one million pesos to the Mexican Red Cross. In addition, it opened an account to receive contributions from the public. Resources will be channeled towards humanitarian aid work once the critical phase is over.

Banco Azteca announced the elimination of commissions on money transfers to Venezuela until July 10. The measure applies without an amount limit through platforms such as Western Union and MoneyGram, both in branches and in its mobile application.

Santander México announced an extraordinary donation to the Mexican Red Cross for the deployment of the USAR rescue group. This team, made up of specialists and canine pairs, is already in Venezuela supporting search and rescue efforts in collapsed structures.
