The ruling MORENA party has endorsed President Claudia Sheinbaum’s constitutional reform proposal aimed at prohibiting individuals seeking presidential, gubernatorial, or municipal leadership positions from holding dual nationality. The reform requires such candidates to formally renounce any foreign citizenship before registering as candidates. MORENA argues this measure protects Mexico’s sovereignty by ensuring leaders have undivided loyalty to the nation and prevents potential foreign interference in domestic affairs. The initiative applies to both federal and state levels, aligning executive powers under a unified standard of national allegiance. Additionally, the proposal includes amendments to Mexico’s Nationality Law to facilitate formal renunciation processes for those with dual citizenship.
