Mexico's ruling Morena party has strongly refuted any connection between Abraham Hermosillo รlvarez, accused of orchestrating an attack at a UFC event, and its political movement. The party's National Executive Committee (CEN) issued a statement asserting that any attempt to link the accused to Morena lacks basis and constitutes a false conclusion.
According to Morena's organizational and overseas Mexicans secretariats, Hermosillo รlvarez is not listed as a member in either the party's national registry or the electoral institute's voter rolls. The party emphasized that merely possessing party materials or propaganda does not signify affiliation, representation, or action under their direction.
Morena unequivocally condemned all acts of violence, threats, or attacks against individuals, institutions, or governments. "Our movement has always proceeded through peaceful, democratic, and institutional channels, and rejects any conduct that infringes upon life, security, or coexistence among peoples," the statement read. The party reiterated its dedication to legality, democracy, peace, and mutual respect, urging that verified information and adherence to facts should supersede disinformation or stigmatization.
Our movement has always proceeded through peaceful, democratic, and institutional channels, and rejects any conduct that infringes upon life, security, or coexistence among peoples.
