Morena accuses INE advisors of being ‘ill-wishers’

The Morena leader accuses INE advisors of being 'ill-wishers' and defends her affiliation system.

Morena questions the impartiality of the INE

The national leader of Morena, Ariadna Montiel Reyes, pointed out that within the INE there are advisors with critical positions towards her party. He described them as “Morena haters” during a press conference where he addressed recent resolutions on duplicate affiliations.

Montiel affirmed that his party abides by the determinations of the Electoral Court. The authority ordered the elimination of more than 93 thousand affiliate records and leave under review about 19 thousand cases that the INE must verify.

The leader demanded that the institute adhere to the resolutions of the General Council and not to individual opinions. He accused that there are figures close to past electoral administrations who maintain a critical stance towards the movement.

Regarding the affiliation system, Montiel defended that Morena’s application is efficient. He assured that it surpasses that of the INE in functionality, since it allows duplications in the records to be detected.

He also proposed that the INE should have real-time verification mechanisms to cross-check affiliation data. However, he acknowledged that there are different processes between parties and the electoral authority.

Audit detects control failures in the Women’s Secretariat

Failures in hiring and lack of manuals in the Women's Secretariat, according to official audit.

Failures in internal controls

An audit of the Anti-Corruption and Good Government Secretariat identified multiple deficiencies in the Women’s Secretariat. Among them, the absence of mechanisms to verify that the personnel in charge of caring for victims of violence did not have a criminal record or gender violence record.

The report “A PROCESO-006-074-2025” also indicates that there were no clear hiring procedures in the Women’s Instances in the Federal Entities (IMEF). For this reason, a preventive recommendation was issued to strengthen entry filters.

Pending manuals and organization

The agency lacked an updated General Organization Manual and a Procedures Manual, mandatory documents for its operation. The audits recommended developing and updating them.

Although the Secretariat reported that several areas had already sent projects to integrate these manuals, until now their complete implementation has not been accredited. In addition, another review detected inconsistencies in job profiles in the Information Technology area.

These observations occur in a context of institutional transition: the Women’s Secretariat has not had a head since April 2026. This situation has generated administrative and operational pending issues in the new structure of the federal agency.
