Sheinbaum Calls for Unity After Budget Dispute Rocks Morena
mexico City – President Andrés Manuel López obrador’s Morena party appears to be mending fences after a public budget dispute threatened to fracture the ruling coalition.
Following a private meeting at the National Palace with key Morena lawmakers, President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo issued a statement emphasizing unity and cooperation. The meeting, which lasted approximately 40 minutes, came after a heated exchange between Senate president Adán Augusto López Hernández and Chamber of Deputies leader Ricardo Monreal Ávila over budget adjustments for 2025.
The disagreement stemmed from a 123 million peso reduction the Chamber of Deputies made to the Senate’s requested budget. The move sparked a war of words between López Hernández and Monreal, with both leaders publicly criticizing each other’s actions.
Emerging from the meeting, both López hernández and Monreal remained tight-lipped, declining to comment on the discussions.López Hernández simply stated, “Tomorrow, tomorrow,” when pressed by reporters, while Monreal departed without addressing the media.
However, Interior Secretary Rosa Icela Rodríguez, who was also present at the meeting, took to social media to announce a resolution.
“In a conversation with the coordinators of Morena’s parliamentary groups in the Senate and Chamber of Deputies, it was agreed that there will be no extraordinary period for pending initiatives,” Rodríguez tweeted. “We wish everyone a Merry Christmas.”
Monreal later echoed this sentiment on twitter, emphasizing the importance of unity and collaboration within the party.
“Politics will always be the art of seeking agreements and understandings for the benefit of the population,” he wrote. “Without fanfare or confrontation, we met with Rosa Icela Rodríguez and Adán Augusto López to do politics for the good of the country and the movement we represent.”
the incident highlights the internal tensions that can arise within a ruling party, even one as dominant as Morena.While Sheinbaum’s intervention appears to have quelled the immediate crisis, it remains to be seen whether the underlying issues have been fully resolved.
