**Tabasco Leadership Nominates Andy Jr., Son of AMLO, for General Secretary of Morena**
A prominent faction within Tabasco’s national council members of Morena is backing the candidacy of Andrés Manuel López Beltrán, commonly known as Andy, for the position of General Secretary of the National Executive Committee (CEN) of Morena. Andy, who is 38 years old, is one of the sons of the current President of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
According to local reports, the intention behind this nomination is to pair Andy with the current Secretary of Government, Luisa María Alcalde, who is seen as a potential unity candidate for the party’s national presidency. On September 6, 2024, this strategy was unveiled by local media sources.
Joaquín Baños Jiménez, the president of the State Executive Committee of Morena in Tabasco and a key political operator for the state’s governor-elect, Javier May Rodríguez, revealed that López Beltrán would be the state’s choice for the General Secretary position. “We are backing a fellow Tabasqueño. Andy, being the son of our current president, is the perfect candidate alongside Luisa María Alcalde, an outstanding young leader,” said Baños Jiménez.
César Raúl Ojeda Zubieta, a national councilor of Morena from Tabasco with a significant political background, also endorsed López Beltrán’s candidacy. Ojeda Zubieta noted, “Andy has always been dedicated and involved in the movement. He has the credentials and the drive needed for this crucial role.”
Additionally, López Beltrán’s brothers, José Ramón and Gonzalo Alfonso, spoke out on July 24, 2024, against various allegations made against them and their family. In an extensive letter, they addressed and refuted accusations, stating that no credible evidence accompanied these claims.
These statements also touched on multiple accusations, including supposed ties to the narcotics trade. They vehemently denied any connections to organized crime or any receipt of illicit funds. The brothers detailed their legitimate family businesses, such as a cacao and timber ranch in Tabasco, and related enterprises, emphasizing their commitment to honesty and integrity.
