Dolores Padierna seeks re-election and criticizes Morena’s candidate selection
Dolores Padierna says she will seek re-election as a federal deputy in Mexico’s 2027 elections.
She plans to run for district 4 in Iztapalapa, where she says she has won surveys.
Padierna says Morena should let voters decide its candidate through surveys, rather than rely on personal ties, party structures or money.
She accused some people in the party of “amiguismo” and “compadrazgo,” terms for favouring friends and associates.
She warned Morena against repeating old political practices, including using government programmes to benefit individual politicians.
Padierna says she wants another three years in Congress to help build the legal framework of the political project known as the Fourth Transformation.
The election is scheduled for June 2027, and Morena’s candidate selection will determine whether she runs for another term.

What people are saying
Que sea el pueblo el que decida, no las influencias, no los aparatos, no el dinero
Morena no nació para reproducir viejas prácticas. No nació para ser una maquinaria de intereses personales
Con humildad, pero con firmeza, les digo que yo reúno esas características
