  • A PRI coordinator in the Chamber of Deputies, Rubén Moreira, stated that Tabasco residents will not vote for Andy López Beltrán.
  • Moreira criticized Morena, claiming the party has caused significant problems for Tabasco.
  • He also commented on López Beltrán's letter to Donald Trump regarding his U.S. visa.

Rubén Moreira, the PRI coordinator in the Chamber of Deputies, asserted that the people of Tabasco will reject Andy López Beltrán in upcoming elections, citing severe damage inflicted upon the state by the Morena party. López Beltrán, who previously served as Morena's Organization Secretary in May 2026, intends to run for federal deputy.

Moreira suggested that the revocation of López Beltrán's U.S. visa does not disqualify him from seeking candidacy, unless a formal investigation is underway in Mexico. "I believe that the people of Tabasco, who are intelligent, will not vote for him. Because Morena is causing serious problems for Tabasco," Moreira stated.

I believe that the people of Tabasco, who are intelligent, will not vote for him. Because Morena is causing serious problems for Tabasco.

— Rubén MoreiraMoreira explains his prediction that Tabasco residents will not vote for Andy López Beltrán due to Morena's impact on the state.

The PRI legislator also sharply criticized a letter López Beltrán sent to former President Donald Trump. In the letter, López Beltrán protested the visa cancellation and requested the dismissal of two U.S. officials. Moreira questioned the appropriateness of such a letter, asking if the then-president was aware of it and commenting on its language and syntax. He suggested López Beltrán might benefit from psychological evaluation, implying a disconnect from reality.

How is it possible that this character writes these kinds of letters. The first question is, did the president know? The second, the language, the third, some syntax lessons too, by the way. I think Andy needs to go to the couch, Andy needs a psychologist, I'll tell you why, at least Andy, assuming himself as the Fatherland, well, they are a bit detached from reality.

— Rubén MoreiraMoreira criticizes López Beltrán's letter to Donald Trump and suggests he needs psychological help.
