Commentary says Mexico’s social programs help keep Morena in power
A commentary in Mexico says social programs are central to Morena staying in power.
Morena is the governing political movement, and the commentary refers to remarks made during the president’s morning news briefing.
It says those remarks suggested the right could not come to power, as in other countries.
The commentary contrasts Morena’s stated principles of not lying, stealing or betraying with the support it says government programs provide.
It argues that this political support depends on funding and could last only while the money is available.
The piece also discusses Pemex’s debt and disputes involving public universities, but its main point is that social programs are presented as a pillar of Morena’s political strength.
It gives no specific next step or policy change.
A commentary in El Economista MX says Mexico’s social programs are a key reason Morena can remain in power.
It argues that the government has presented those programs, rather than its stated principles, as the basis of its popular support.
The commentary says Morena’s hold on power could last until the money runs out.
It describes the claim as having been made from the government’s daily press conference platform.
The article also discusses Pemex, universities and other issues, but gives no response from Morena to the commentary’s claim.
