Morena seeks to take control of the CNBV through a union

Morena might be using the union structure to dismantle the technical independence of the organization

Various sources within the National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV) have sent this editorial a set of testimonies and documents reflecting a climate of growing institutional tension.

Morena would be seeking to Morena-ize the CNBV through a union—something serious—allegedly operated by a woman named Elizabeth Soria, identified as a Morena supporter, who would push internal strife to ideologically respond in favor of the 4T.

According to the reports received, Soria León was allegedly appointed to her position due to her personal closeness with the president of the CNBV, Dr. Jesús de la Fuente Rodríguez, also a Morena supporter. The reading within the institution is clear: her appointment would respond more to ideological affinities than to technical experience, and to the intention of dismantling the autonomy of the CNBV.

The concern expressed by these sources is that this dynamic responds to an alleged and apparent undeclared presidential line, whose aim is to reduce the CNBV to another ideological dependency, blurring its technical and autonomous nature. We already know where this ends: look at the INE.

This happens while, in public, the importance of preserving trust in the Mexican financial system is insisted upon. The contradiction is flagrant.

The most alarming thing would be the way in which—according to sources in the CNBV—she is allegedly operating from her direction to intervene in the union life of the Commission. According to employees of the CNBV presidency, Mrs. León would be openly promoting a slate aligned with the regime, promising administrative benefits, promotions, and positions in exchange for political support. The objective would be clear: to turn the CNBV into an instrument at the service of the presidential narrative.

This intrusion, which has already raised red flags within the technical guild, is seen as part of a broader strategy to "Morena-ize" the internal structure of the Commission.

Informants also report the irregular reinstatement of Soria's romantic partner, who was separated for administrative offenses. Soria allegedly reinstated him in a General Directorate without technical justification, evidencing a network of personal favors with total impunity: a hallmark of the 4T.

This very Friday, while the Banking Convention was taking place—with the presence of President Claudia Sheinbaum, entrepreneurs, and financial system officials—the CNBV is going through one of the most delicate internal crises in its recent history.

The question is inevitable: will the president find out what is really happening inside the Commission? Or does this operation have her consent?

The voices that dare to speak today within the CNBV agree on one thing: this wouldn't be a simple union dispute, but an institutional assault. What is at stake is not just a union election, but the very soul of a technical body that must be a guarantor of stability, not a hostage to a political project.

If the information turns out to be true, we would be facing another institutional dismantling by the Morena left. I hope this is not the case.
