PRI leader Alejandro Moreno delivered a strong critique of the ruling party, accusing Morena of corruption, judicial manipulation, and plans to concentrate power, threatening Mexico’s democracy.
Mexico City — Alejandro “Alito” Moreno, president of the PRI, used the opening session of Congress to issue a stern warning to Morena, accusing the ruling party of corrupting democracy and manipulating the judicial system. Moreno’s speech was both confrontational and detailed, highlighting his determination to resist the government’s authoritarian tendencies.
“The PRI will never allow Morena to destroy democracy or persecute the opposition. We will confront them with law, with reason, and with the will of the people,” Moreno declared, as deputies from the ruling party reacted with chants and insults. His criticism was direct, calling Morena legislators “narcopoliticians and corrupt individuals” who put their personal and political interests above the nation’s well-being.
Moreno’s most serious allegations targeted the judicial reform, which he described as a tactic to install loyal judges and magistrates, ensuring the government can persecute its political adversaries. “Justice has been assassinated. The courts have been transformed into tools of political oppression,” Moreno said, stressing the grave consequences for Mexico’s institutions.
In addition to the judicial issue, Moreno warned of the upcoming electoral reform, which he claimed aims to eliminate opposition parties and establish a one-party system. “Morena wants to create a dictatorship through the ballot box, controlling every institution and silencing dissent. We will not allow this,” he asserted.
Political analysts noted that Moreno’s rhetoric positions him as a central figure in the opposition, willing to confront the government directly. His choice of language — “narcopoliticians” — underscores his strategy to link Morena with corruption and organized crime, portraying them as a direct threat to the Republic.
For the public, Moreno’s speech served as a clear message that the PRI is committed to defending democracy. “This is not partisan politics; this is a fight for the Republic itself. The PRI will resist every authoritarian move, every attempt to eliminate political competition, and every effort to silence the people,” he concluded.
The session left no doubt that Moreno intends to maintain pressure on the government, both inside and outside the halls of Congress, establishing himself as a defender of democratic values and a prominent voice against authoritarianism in Mexico.
