From Tabasco, René Bejarano defends national sovereignty; denies Morena's complicity with crime

René Bejarano Martínez, national leader of the political group "Nueva Esperanza," has joined President Claudia Sheinbaum's campaign to defend national sovereignty. Bejarano is touring Mexico, holding assemblies to alert citizens about alleged U.S. government intentions to implicate Morena members with criminal organizations.

In what refers to the accusations, well, it is part of the media war and it is a continental strategy, it is not even just in Mexico.

Bejarano dismissed many accusations of "narco-politicians" within Morena as media fabrications exploited by the opposition. He stated that such claims are part of a broader continental strategy, referencing similar accusations leveled against Colombian President Gustavo Petro and Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, where alleged cartels did not exist.

"There have been many accusations of this type, but without proof," Bejarano asserted, while highlighting a significant reduction in homicides nationwide. He noted that 40,000 individuals involved in violence, including some public servants, have been detained over the past two years, demonstrating a lack of complicity.

“

And now all this accusation is made, not just now, but since the previous administration. There have been many accusations of this type, but without proof.

He also criticized the PRD, suggesting it remains unchanged despite its name, and expressed doubt about its future success. Bejarano, infamously known as "El Señor de las Ligas" (The Man of the Ties) since 2004 for a video showing him receiving cash, is actively campaigning against what he describes as a media war targeting Morena.

There are 40,000 people detained during the last two years, generators of violence, 40,000! in two years. And, among others, some public servants, like some who existed here in Tabasco, who colluded with crime and who are now detained. So, there is no such complicity that is said, it is false.
