Félix Salgado Denounces Nepotism as Morena Enforces 2027 Family Ban

Morena's 2027 ban on relatives seeking nominations spotlights an internal fight over how to police nepotism now rather than in 2030.

Overview

  • Salgado, in videos posted Saturday, accused Morena's leaders of nepotism and acknowledged a party rule blocks him because his daughter is the governor of Guerrero.
  • Party chief Luisa María Alcalde has said relatives of sitting governors will be left off Morena's 2027 internal surveys used to pick governor nominees.
  • Salgado said he will stay in Morena and respect its decision, while he also cited his constitutional right to run for office.
  • He argued the party's 2027 restriction conflicts with a national reform that applies the ban on relatives starting in 2030.
  • He warned the rule could strain ties with allies, pointing to San Luis Potosí where PVEM senator Ruth González, wife of Governor Ricardo Gallardo, is seen as a possible contender.
