Former Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard unveiled “Mexico’s Path,” expressing dissent with the internal outcomes from his own Morena party.
Claudia Sheinbaum won there, hinting at her 2024 presidential candidacy. At a press briefing, Ebrard clarified this initiative isn’t a new party.
He emphasized that ‘Mexico’s Path‘ should spread nationally. “We aim to maintain our momentum, identity, and authenticity,” he stated.
He mentioned the movement name reflects their ongoing fight. “Such endeavors require time and persistence,” he added.
Ebrard plans to announce his political future soon. Currently, he’s part of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s party.
On September 10, Ebrard raised concerns with Morena’s findings. These favored Claudia Sheinbaum, former Mexico City’s head of government. He demanded a new internal contest in Morena.
According to El Universal, Ebrard noted irregularities in the two-month internal process. These included violence, biased social programs, and missing ballot boxes.
Previously, López Obrador advised Ebrard to join the transformation movement without disputes. He praised Ebrard on September 7, calling him a good leader and friend.
López Obrador hopes Ebrard supports ongoing national transformation. He emphasized prioritizing the public’s interests and justice.
Discussing Ebrard’s potential departure, López Obrador said he respects Ebrard’s choices. He added, “I stand by Morena’s results.”
