Higinio Martínez Miranda is elected as the proposed president of the Mexican Senate's Board of Directors

Higinio Martínez Miranda has been selected by the Morena party to lead the Mexican Senate's Board of Directors for the upcoming legislative year. The party's coordinator, Ignacio Mier, announced that the choice was made by unanimous vote, signaling internal unity and commitment to the administration's Fourth Transformation project. Martínez Miranda, a senator from the State of Mexico, secured the position after other candidates, including Manuel Huerta and Óscar Cantón, declined their aspirations. While the selection was met with some internal friction, Gerardo Fernández Noroña warned against the 'verticalism' of decision-making within the movement, criticizing the choice of Martínez Miranda as a potential 'error' that could lead to collusion with the opposition. Noroña, who previously labeled Martínez Miranda as a 'corrupto,' expressed concern that the lack of free democratic practices in the selection process might betray the interests of the people. Despite these criticisms, Martínez Miranda stated he intends to seek consensus among allied parties and the opposition to ensure respectful dialogue during the legislative period.
