The former PAN senator, Miguel Ángel Yunes Márquez, known for being the decisive vote to approve the judicial reform, suffers a setback in his affiliation. Morena practically closed the door on him.
The National Commission of Honesty and Justice (CNHJ) of Morena rejected the affiliation request of Senator Miguel Ángel Yunes Márquez. They claim he fails to comply with the party's internal statutes.
According to the organization, the Veracruz legislator did not comply with what is stipulated in articles 4 and 6 of the Morena regulations, which prevents his incorporation. The decision was confirmed by the national leader of Morena, Luisa María Alcalde Luján, through a statement on social media.

Inconsistencies in his affiliation
Various Morena actors, especially in Veracruz, expressed their disagreement with his intention to affiliate. Even the controversial state governor, Rocío Nahle, demanded that his registration be canceled.
Yunes Márquez's credentialing created a rift within the ruling party. Internal disputes and the lack of cohesion that plagues Morena were evident despite its discourse of unity.

Yunes Márquez withdraws, but remains in the Morena caucus.
Hours before the CNHJ resolution, the senator decided to withdraw his affiliation request through a letter to the National Executive Committee of Morena.
In his letter, he argued that his intention was to contribute to unity and strengthen the objectives of the Republic's government. However, his speech contrasts with the constant conflicts within the party, where personal interests are prioritized over ideology.

Despite not being formally accepted into Morena, Yunes Márquez will continue to operate within his parliamentary group in the Senate and support the actions of President Claudia Sheinbaum.
His permanence in the ruling caucus reflects the contradiction of a party that boasts of its "brave honesty." However, in practice, it accepts figures with scandalous political pasts, as long as they suit its agenda.
The situation also exposes the fragility of Morena, which while boasting a discourse of sovereignty and transformation, continues to fall into old practices of political pragmatism.
