Jorge Romero Herrera is promising Morena “the surprise of its life” in Mexico’s 2027 elections. Speaking at an extraordinary session of the National Council of the National Action Party, or PAN, the party leader said Acción Nacional has the conditions to expand its presence across the country.
Romero identified Baja California Sur, San Luis Potosí, Zacatecas and Colima as states where PAN sees broad opportunities for victory. He also said the party would retain the governments of Aguascalientes, Querétaro and Chihuahua. In Guanajuato, he predicted that PAN would increase its presence in the local Congress and govern more municipalities.
The surprise of their life
Calling Morena a “narco-government,” Romero said those who consider themselves infallible would face the surprise in 2027. He said PAN was strengthening both internally and externally by influencing the public agenda, presenting strong candidates and promoting proposals intended to win voters’ confidence.
We are going to put in all the extra effort, all the energy that will bring us electoral victory
The party will now focus on strengthening state and local leadership, he said, so it can compete for governments, legislatures and municipalities nationwide. Romero said PAN would announce the names of its “coordinators of the Homeland, the Family and Freedom” in late September, October and November. Those figures will lead the party’s work ahead of the elections.
Romero said the next phase would consolidate leaders with local roots, territorial presence and the ability to represent citizens’ causes in each state. He pledged that PAN would continue its efforts despite threats and pressure, defending what he called a cause for the country, the nation, the homeland, the family and freedom.
Despite threats, despite pressure, uphill, in PAN we are going to resist for the cause that is noble, that is the cause of the country, the cause of the nation, the cause of our homeland, our family and our freedom
