Delfina Gomez reaches three years in government with 60% approval

Three years into her gubernatorial term, Delfina Gómez of the State of Mexico has achieved a 60% approval rating according to the latest Enkoll survey for El Universal. The survey indicates that 60% of residents believe the state's situation will improve or remain stable, while 32% think it will worsen. Major infrastructure projects like the Tren Interurbano El Insurgente México-Toluca and the Tren Suburbano Lechería-AIFA are highly recognized, with 74% and 60% recognition rates respectively, both showing strong positive opinions. In the upcoming 2027 federal election, Morena leads with 52% effective preference, followed by PRI at 20%, PAN at 11%, and other parties. Party affiliation aligns with these preferences, with 37% identifying with Morena, 12% with PRI, and 6% with PAN. The survey involved 1,212 face-to-face interviews conducted between August 20 and 24, 2026, with a margin of error of ±2.8% at a 95% confidence level.

Morena accused former President Vicente Fox of attempting to reassemble "the power mafia" following his recent meetings with leaders of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), National Action Party (PAN), and the new political group Somos. The leftist party stated that these encounters do not represent a genuine alternative for Mexican citizens but instead signal the reorganization of a system it describes as corrupt and entrenched in power. According to Morena, these meetings are part of a recurring pattern that Mexico has already witnessed, involving actors who appear as rivals but ultimately unite when their interests align. The meetings took place over several weeks, beginning with a meeting between Fox and PAN leader Jorge Romero, followed by discussions with representatives of Somos regarding the 2027 elections, and culminating in a gathering at the PRI’s national headquarters with Alejandro Moreno, known as "Alito." Morena criticized these actions as an attempt to revive a flawed political model, echoing past failures such as the disputed 1988 election and the fraudulent 2006 vote against Andrés Manuel López Obrador. It described the situation as "gatopardism," a term used by President López Obrador to describe maintaining the status quo under a new guise. During the meeting at the PRI's national committee, Fox wore a red tie, a symbol of PRI membership, and posed for photographs using the "V" gesture associated with his 2000 campaign. On social media, he claimed the meeting was aimed at uniting Mexico beyond differences and called for a country that is "free, democratic, and with a future." In response, PRI national leader Alejandro Moreno emphasized the importance of building consensus and forming a strong opposition front ahead of the 2027 elections. President Claudia Sheinbaum, meanwhile, condemned the meeting during a visit to Colima, accusing Fox and the PRI of seeking to return to an era marked by corruption and privilege. She pointed out that both the PRI and PAN have long simulated historical rivalry, while previous administrations transformed the Fobaproa bank rescue into public debt. She further criticized the lack of a viable generational renewal within the opposition parties, noting that young leaders in PAN are currently under scrutiny due to corruption scandals linked to the so-called "real estate cartel." Fox announced the formation of a movement called "Alma de México," which includes alliances with the PAN, PRI, and Somos, aiming to mobilize citizens and secure a majority in Congress for the 2027 elections. He defended his meetings with the PRI, drawing a parallel to World War II, where British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt had to ally with Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin to defeat Nazi Germany. Fox argued that strategic alliances are necessary to counter Morena's dominance and prevent unilateral decisions affecting budget control. He dismissed criticisms of his past remarks about the PRI as outdated, stating that current members of the party, including Moreno, are different from the old guard. Fox also noted that many of the problematic figures from the old system are now embedded within Morena. He emphasized that the movement should focus on engaging the 40% of the population that typically does not vote, promoting active citizen participation over traditional party structures. In summary, the political landscape continues to shift, with Fox positioning himself as a key player in shaping the opposition's strategy ahead of the 2027 elections, despite ongoing criticism from both Morena and Sheinbaum.

The alliance between PRI-PAN is not new; Fox, "traitor to democracy": Sheinbaum, Animal Group

President Claudia Sheinbaum criticized the alliance between the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and National Action Party (PAN), calling former President Vicente Fox a 'traitor to democracy' after their meeting with PRI leadership. She argued that this collaboration is not new, tracing it back to the administration of Carlos Salinas de Gortari. Sheinbaum highlighted past criticisms by Fox against the PRI during his campaign in 2000, contrasting it with his current alignment with the party. She also attributed the poor performance of opposition parties in the 2024 election to a lack of a clear alternative vision and accused the PAN of failing to offer a compelling platform. She further suggested that the rise of figures like Fox reflects a failure of younger leaders within the opposition parties due to corruption scandals.

Fox joins the opposition front heading to 2027 and calls on the citizens to defeat Morena

Former Mexican President Vicente Fox has announced the formation of a new opposition movement called 'Alma de México,' uniting the National Action Party (PAN), Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), and the new party Somos. The goal is to mobilize citizens and gain a majority in Congress during the 2027 elections.

He argued that defeating Morena’s dominance in Congress would prevent them from controlling the budget and making unilateral decisions.

Morena, on the horse of hacienda by 2027; survey by Buendía & Márquez for EL UNIVERSAL

As the 2026-2027 electoral process approaches, Morena maintains a significant lead in the race for federal deputies, according to a recent national survey by Buendía & Márquez conducted exclusively for El Universal. If elections were held today, 35% of respondents would vote for Morena, while the opposition parties remain fragmented, with no clear second-place contender. The PAN, PRI, and Movimiento Ciudadano show similar levels of support, but none have a statistically significant advantage over the others. Newer parties like PAZ and Somos have minimal presence in the polls. While there is dissatisfaction among voters, 43% believe Mexico is heading in the wrong direction, this has not translated into strong support for any single opposition party. Morena remains the most positively viewed party, with 56% favorable opinions, compared to negative views for the PAN and PRI.

Morena accuses Fox of regrouping "the mafia of power" after meetings with PRI and PAN

The Mexican left-wing party Morena accused former President Vicente Fox of attempting to reorganize 'the mafia of power' through recent meetings with leaders of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), National Action Party (PAN), and the new group Somos. These encounters, according to Morena, do not represent a genuine alternative for citizens but rather a continuation of old political tactics aimed at maintaining influence. The accusations come amid ongoing political tensions, with Morena contrasting Fox’s actions against their own vision of continued transformation and social welfare programs. The meeting took place at the PRI headquarters, where Fox wore a red tie associated with the PRI and made symbolic gestures reminiscent of his 2000 campaign.

Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the actions of Vicente Fox and his allies as part of a corrupt political system ('mafia del poder') and criticizes them for seeking to maintain power under different names. The language used by Morena is highly critical of Fox and his associates, portraying them as part of a cycle

Why factuality (60): The article mentions the meetings but frames them as 'reorganization of the mafia of power' without providing direct evidence from the primary source. It references historical criticisms of Fox against the PRI but does so in a way that may be selective rather than comprehensive.
