Senator Enrique Inzunza faces internal party pressure to step back from duties due to alleged ties to the Sinaloa Cartel.

Senator Enrique Inzunza announced his decision to return to full duties starting next Sunday, despite facing significant internal pressure from the Morena party. The administration of the party, including leader Ignacio Mier and President Claudia Sheinbaum, has expressed reservations about his return because the US government accused Inzunza and his political godfather, Ruben Rocha Moya, of aligning with the Sinaloa Cartel. Party leaders have recommended that Inzunza avoid attending sessions of the Permanent Commission, suggesting he should request a leave of absence. Additionally, the Morena leadership is evaluating other competitive profiles for the mayoralty of Cuauhtemoc, sidelining Arturo Avila due to recent scandals. Meanwhile, Senator Andrea Chvez is facing scrutiny over the birth location of her son, who was born in El Paso, Texas. While some view this as a 'traicion a la Patria' for a federal official, Chvez remains close to the political circle of Adan de AMLO and his son Andy, who is expected to take him to the United States with a letter to Donald Trump.
