Enrique Inzunza Cazárez leaves the Morena parliamentary group and the Legislative Studies Commission chairmanship.

Enrique Inzunza Cazárez has officially left the Morena parliamentary group in the Mexican Senate, becoming an independent legislator. The administration announced that the senator will be removed from his position as president of the Legislative Studies Commission. This move follows accusations from the European Union and the United States regarding his presumed ties to organized crime and narco-trafficking. Ignacio Mier, the president of the Jucopo, announced the reassignment of the chairmanship. However, the specific successor has not yet been named, as the commission must wait for senators who requested a leave of absence for electoral aspirations to return. The resignation of Enrique Inzunza Cazárez puts the majority qualified by Morena and its allies at risk. Meanwhile, the PRI coordinator in the Senate, Manuel Añorve, criticized the National Electoral Institute (INE) for becoming an appendix of Morena, alleging that the decision to count blank ballots as votes could lead to electoral fraud in 2027.
