Mexico City. Morena’s national leader, Ariadna Montiel, criticized the PAN’s Jorge Romero Herrera for spending days touring Europe, on visits across foreign territory, to seek there the support they lost in Mexico.
They can tour every capital in the world, but Mexican democracy is decided here, with the free and sovereign vote of the people.
Ariadna Montiel
In a message on her social media, Ariadna Montiel said that “it is telling that, just as a new electoral process begins, the leadership of Acción Nacional headed by Romero prefers to build territory” thousands of kilometers from Mexico.
It is no coincidence: because when the bond with the people is lost, one ends up seeking support outside the country.
Ariadna Montiel
She added that the PAN’s problem “is not abroad: it is in the country project they represent: none.”
The Morena member drew a contrast with the blue-and-whites, who “knock on doors abroad to try to build a legitimacy that the Mexican people have not given them.”
We continue traveling the country, organizing from below, and listening to the people.

The PAN leader Jorge Romero has spent days touring Europe “seeking abroad what they long ago lost in Mexico: the support of the people.”
