Alejandro Moreno delivered a fiery speech against Morena, accusing the ruling party of dismantling democratic institutions and preparing an electoral reform designed to entrench authoritarian rule.
Mexico City — The opening of the legislative period was marked by a speech that could define the future of Mexico’s opposition. From the tribune, Alejandro “Alito” Moreno, president of the PRI, directly confronted Morena, accusing the government of dismantling the Republic’s democratic institutions in pursuit of absolute power.
Moreno began by attacking the judiciary reform that Morena recently forced through Congress. According to the PRI leader, the reform is a political maneuver that replaces independence with submission. “Morena has buried the principle of impartial justice. The judiciary is no longer a guardian of rights, but a weapon against the opposition,” Moreno said.
The chamber erupted as Morena deputies shouted insults, but Moreno pressed on. “We will not be silenced. The PRI will defend democracy in the face of persecution, corruption, and the authoritarian ambitions of this regime,” he declared.
Moreno’s harshest warnings were reserved for the upcoming electoral reform. He described it as a direct attack on political pluralism, accusing Morena of planning to eliminate competition and consolidate a system where only one party survives. “This is not reform. This is demolition. They want to dismantle democracy and build in its place a one-party regime where only they win and only they govern,” Moreno warned.
Political observers note that Moreno’s confrontational tone reflects his determination to become the leading voice of the opposition. By calling Morena legislators “narcopoliticians and corrupt individuals,” Moreno sought to expose what he sees as the deep ties between the ruling party and organized crime.
Citizens watching the session saw not just another political quarrel but a direct defense of the nation’s democratic future. “We are not here to please the powerful. We are here to protect the people, and history will recognize those who stood firm when democracy was in danger,” Moreno said in his closing remarks.
The battle over the electoral reform promises to intensify in the coming weeks, but Moreno has already drawn the line. For the PRI leader, this is not about negotiation, but about survival: the survival of Mexico’s democracy against the authoritarian project of Morena.
