Inzunza defends Andy Lopez; we will not give in to pressure from individuals or foreigners: Morena senators

Senadores del partido Morena, incluido Enrique Inzunza, han emitido un comunicado en defensa de Andrés Manuel López Beltrán, quien fue retirado su visa por Estados Unidos. En el comunicado, los senadores acusan a individuos y grupos que han estado involucrados en corrupción, actividades ilegales y vínculos con el crimen organizado de no tener autoridad moral para criticar el movimiento Morena, que ellos consideran responsable de transformaciones positivas en el país. Los senadores sostienen que enfrentan una campaña contra ellos por defender valores como la justicia social, la democracia y la soberanía nacional, y rechazan cualquier forma de presión, amenaza o influencia externa. Además, destacan su compromiso con la independencia de México y su obligación de proteger los intereses nacionales.

Morena has publicly backed Andrés Manuel "Andy" López Beltrán following the U.S. government's decision to revoke his visa. The ruling party accused Washington of engaging in political interference and called for the Federal Attorney General’s Office (FGR) to summon López Beltrán for questioning. This comes after the former secretary of Organization for Morena expressed concerns over what he described as an attack on Mexico’s national sovereignty. The controversy began when the U.S. authorities canceled López Beltrán’s visa, citing unspecified reasons. In response, Morena organized 202 informational assemblies nationwide, scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, August 15 and 16, aimed at reinforcing national sovereignty and countering what they describe as a disinformation campaign by the right-wing. These gatherings will take place simultaneously in various municipalities, neighborhoods, and communities, with local and state-level leaders of Morena presiding over them. The stated purpose is to strengthen territorial organization, explain current challenges related to national sovereignty, particularly against external pressures, and gather community feedback to influence legislative and governmental agendas. Morena leaders emphasized their commitment to defending Mexico’s independence and rejecting foreign intervention in domestic affairs. They criticized the U.S. move as part of broader efforts to undermine the Fourth Transformation movement, which they claim represents the interests of the Mexican people. The party’s leadership, including President Claudia Sheinbaum, defended López Beltrán, stating that the visa cancellation does not constitute evidence of any wrongdoing or legal violation. In a separate statement, 24 of Morena’s 32 state governors signed a declaration reaffirming their support for the party’s stance on national sovereignty. They argued that those who have been linked to corruption, white-collar crimes, or ties to organized crime lack the moral authority to criticize Morena. The governors highlighted that the movement was born from social struggles and a deep conviction that politics should serve the people. They reiterated their commitment to justice, democracy, equality, dignity, and the nation’s freedom and sovereignty. Senators from Morena’s parliamentary bloc also issued a joint statement condemning the U.S. action as an attempt to exert pressure through political intimidation. They emphasized that they would not yield to external or private pressures, nor allow foreign interference in matters solely within Mexico’s jurisdiction. The senators included Enrique Inzunza, who faces allegations of links to drug trafficking, among others. Their message stressed the importance of maintaining mutual respect and cooperation between Mexico and the United States while rejecting any form of subordination or external influence on Mexico’s political direction. Morena further accused the U.S. of launching a media and international campaign to discredit its policies and actions. The party urged citizens to remain informed and resist decisions made abroad that could undermine Mexican institutions or the democratic process. It called for unity among its members and the public to safeguard national sovereignty without succumbing to external narratives designed to delegitimize their work. The situation has drawn attention to the broader implications of diplomatic measures taken by foreign governments against individuals associated with political movements. While the U.S. Embassy in Mexico has stated that visa decisions are confidential, the controversy underscores tensions in bilateral relations and the sensitivity surrounding political figures in international diplomacy. As the situation unfolds, Morena continues to rally behind López Beltrán, framing the visa issue as a symbolic battle over Mexico’s autonomy and the legitimacy of its political project.
