Javier Lamarque registers in the Morena process for state coordination

The licensed mayor of Cajeme seeks to lead the transformation in Sonora.

Javier Lamarque, licensed mayor of Cajeme, Sonora, formalized his registration in Morena’s internal process to elect the state coordinator. The former municipal president trusts that his career will be key to consolidating the party’s project in the entity.

“It is very important to have experience, especially when it is a period, in the case of Sonora it was shortened to three years to coincide with the presidential election, then you cannot learn, nor improvise.”

Lamarque highlighted that his time in three municipal governments with positive results allows him to arrive ready. “We would be taking the locomotive walking, without stopping it,” he said.

Challenges and unity in the party

Among Sonora’s challenges, the Morenista pointed out the need to make further progress: modernization of customs, photovoltaic plants – such as the one in Puerto Peñasco, the fifth largest in the world -, the recovery of the port of Guaymas and technology in the agricultural valleys.

He affirmed that within Morena there is unity despite internal competition. “We are united, strengthened as a project and we are moving forward so that the fourth transformation in Sonora continues,” he indicated.

Regarding the election method, he supported the use of surveys, a mechanism that already favored him in two municipal candidacies and one federal deputation. He also described as positive the requirement to request a license for those who hold public positions.

“It is better that there is separation of the position, so that there is no misuse of public resources in these internal processes. It is a democratic and republican gesture by Morena.”

Lamarque thus joins the internal contest, with his sights set on the state coordination of Morena in Sonora.

Immigration litigation strains Mexico-US relationship

Specialists warn that complaints against detention centers could generate consequences for fellow citizens.

Implications of immigration litigation

The initiation of legal and civil actions against migrant detention centers in the United States could strain the bilateral relationship. Specialists warn that these complaints have little chance of success and could trigger adverse measures against fellow citizens.

Internationalist Arlene Ramírez Uresti pointed out that turning to the Department of Justice or filing civil complaints faces an unfavorable political and legal scenario. As an alternative, he proposed going to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. However, he acknowledged that Mexico has pending issues in caring for migrants and complying with international commitments.

Promoting litigation in a restrictive political context towards migration could be counterproductive. Ramírez Uresti affirmed that confrontation with the US government would limit the ability to negotiate and would cause consequences for Mexicans in that country.

UNAM political scientist Sebastián Godínez Rivera agreed that the legal strategy lacks solid technical elements. He warned that, faced with a government like that of Donald Trump, these actions could strengthen arguments to adopt measures against Mexico.

Both experts agree that the current legal path offers few guarantees. The bilateral relationship thus faces a new front of tension in immigration matters.
