Ariadna Montiel Reyes, national leader of Morena, defended her party\u2019s stance amid recent controversy sparked by leaked audios involving Baja California Governor Marina del Pilar \u00c1vila Olmeda. These audios have reignited debates over the reliability of reports from U.S. media outlets like The New York Times, which have accused Morena members of acting as informants for the United States.<\/p>\n
During a press conference, Montiel Reyes emphasized that Morena\u2019s decisions and political positions are not influenced by journalistic publications, whether domestic or foreign. When asked about the credibility of the media spreading these accusations, she firmly stated, \u201cThe party does not share the view that its members or representatives are collaborating with external interests.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Montiel Reyes, the audio recordings of Governor Marina del Pilar capture a private conversation in which she discusses matters related to her visa application, without implying any collaboration with foreign governments. The Morena leader also stressed that the publication of these reports does not affect the party\u2019s internal politics. \u201cPolitical actions are not governed by media coverage, at least not in the case of the government,\u201d she asserted, rejecting any impact of the allegations on Morena\u2019s decision-making.<\/p>\n
Governor Marina del Pilar herself has maintained that the audio excerpts published by journalist H\u00e9ctor de Maule\u00f3n, which include her speaking with alleged U.S. authorities, reflect a personal conversation and that her statements have been transparent. Morena\u2019s leadership interprets the audios similarly to those involving Mexico City\u2019s President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, arguing that the content does not reveal irregular conduct but rather responses to questions posed to the official, despite some inaudible segments.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll our members are deeply committed to defending national sovereignty,\u201d Montiel Reyes concluded, dismissing claims that suggest internal party politics contradict Morena\u2019s core principles.<\/p>\n
