"The 4T ship is sinking," says Manuel Añorve; accuses Morena members of trying to "save their skin" in the U.S.

Senator Manuel Añorve Baños has declared that the governing "4T" movement is sinking, asserting that its slogan has shifted from "the poor first" to "every man for himself." He alleges that numerous officials implicated in wrongdoing are fleeing the country to "save their skin," which he interprets as evidence that the ruling party, Morena, is a "narco party."

Añorve pointed to the ongoing accusations against the governor of Baja California, Marina del Pilar Ávila, and suggested this is not an isolated case. He stated that the "4T" movement's line is "if one falls, they all fall," and that the current situation, including accusations from U.S. officials, is causing the movement to falter. He criticized the government's response to these accusations, particularly regarding the case of "El Mayo" Zambada, arguing that instead of fostering collaboration with the United States, officials are attempting to discredit U.S. authorities, thereby straining relations.

The senator emphasized that the accusations linking "distinguished members of the 4T" to organized crime and drug trafficking are not to be minimized, as they are "sufficiently documented." He believes the government is attempting to divert attention from these serious allegations by creating unnecessary conflicts with the U.S. government. Añorve concluded that the government is overwhelmed by the number of its own movement's members facing such accusations.
