MEXICO: Morena rifts deepen
It had always seemed possible that Mexico’s former foreign minister Marcelo Ebrard (2018-2023) would break from the ruling left-wing Movimiento Regeneración Nacional (Morena) if he were not selected to be its 2024 presidential candidate. This split is now fast becoming a reality. On 11 September, Ebrard announced he would leave the party if it did not repeat its presidential candidate selection process, in which he alleges there were multiple irregularities. With President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and the Morena leadership closing ranks behind the winner of that process, former Mexico City (CDMX) mayor Claudia Sheinbaum (2018-2023), Ebrard’s days in the party now seem to be numbered.
