  • Morena's national leader, Ariadna Montiel Reyes, accused the PRI and PAN parties of serving foreign interests due to their criticism of AMLO's son, Andrés Manuel López Beltrán.
  • Montiel suggested the opposition parties update their slogan to "betrayal, corruption, and fuel theft" (huachicol), citing past accusations against PAN member Ernesto Ruffo.
  • She stated that Mexicans decide their country's future and that the PRI and PAN have been relegated to "the dustbin of history."

Ariadna Montiel Reyes, the national leader of Morena, launched a sharp attack against the PRI and PAN parties, accusing them of aligning with foreign interests. This criticism follows the opposition's demand for answers regarding allegations that implicate Andrés Manuel López Beltrán, son of President López Obrador, with organized crime.

In the absolute desperation of the PRIAN, because it knows it does not have the support of the people and that it will lose again at the polls, because for decades they abandoned it. It has decided to do what conservatism has historically done: seek outside the force it does not have in Mexico and surrender to foreign interests.

— Ariadna Montiel ReyesMorena's national leader criticized the PRI and PAN for allegedly seeking foreign support.

Montiel Reyes stated on social media that the PRI and PAN, in their "absolute desperation" and awareness of lacking popular support, are seeking external validation. She asserted that "conservatism has historically sought outside the force it lacks in Mexico and surrendered to foreign interests." She emphasized that Mexicans, not external forces, decide the nation's direction, declaring the opposition parties have been cast into "the dustbin of history."

You are cynical talking about huachicol, and when the accusations reached the PAN member Ernesto Ruffo, they ran to ask for impunity, despite there being more evidence pointing to him as part of a large network of fiscal huachicol.

— Ariadna Montiel ReyesMontiel accused the PRI and PAN of hypocrisy regarding fuel theft allegations.

Further escalating her critique, Montiel Reyes accused the PRI and PAN of hypocrisy and betrayal, particularly regarding the issue of "huachicol" (fuel theft). She pointed to past accusations against PAN member Ernesto Ruffo, suggesting the party sought impunity despite evidence linking him to a large fuel theft network. She proposed the opposition parties update their slogan to reflect "betrayal, corruption, and fuel theft."

Your thing is hypocrisy, treason to the homeland, corruption, and double standards. At the rate you are going, you should update your slogan: Betrayal, corruption, and fuel theft.

— Ariadna Montiel ReyesMontiel suggested a new slogan for the PRI and PAN.
