MEXICO: Pressure rises on Morena
It has not been a good couple of weeks for the all-powerful ruling Movimiento Regeneración Nacional (Morena). While the left-wing party is still struggling to manage a scandal in the south-eastern state of Tabasco [WR-25-29], a new controversy has come along that has cast doubt on the austerity discourse at the heart of the party. The extravagant holiday destinations of several high-profile Morena members have put President Claudia Sheinbaum on the backfoot in recent days, revealing a discrepancy between the rhetoric she espouses and the behaviour of key party members. The political opposition is likely to seize on this to strike the ruling party while it is already down.
