Morena's López Beltrán Accuses PRI of Avoiding His Name Due to Fear

Durango Elections Spark Political Debate: Morena's López Beltrán Addresses PRI's Avoidance of His Name Mexico City – Andrés Manuel López Beltrán, the Secretary of Organization for the Morena party, recently made headlines with comments about the June 1st Durango state elections. In a podcast interview, he revealed that prominent figures from the opposing PRI party, including national leader Alejandro Moreno and deputy Rubén Moreira, conspicuously avoided mentioning him by his full name. López Beltrán stated, "They never mentioned me by my name. They are afraid and know the value of the name and the legacy of Andrés Manuel López Obrador." This statement highlights the political weight of his family name and the potential impact on the elections. The omission of his full name by the PRI, according to López Beltrán, suggests an attempt to downplay his significance in the campaign. The incident sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with many commentators discussing the political implications. Alejandro Moreno, through his social media accounts, responded to López Beltrán's claims, further fueling the debate. Moreno's response, which included a reference to López Beltrán as "Andy," further inflamed the situation. The incident underscores the highly charged political climate in Mexico and the intense scrutiny surrounding the families of prominent political figures. The debate continues to unfold, raising questions about the role of family legacy in Mexican politics.
