### Former Pan Party Member Arnulfo Guerrero Joins Morena
Arnulfo Guerrero León, the Secretary of Government for the XXV City Hall of Tijuana, announced on February 16, 2025, his decision to join Morena, the ruling political party in Mexico. This announcement aligns with the national affiliation campaign led by Andrés López Beltrán, a prominent organizer within Morena and the son of former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
“Absolutely,” Guerrero León stated when asked about his commitment to becoming part of Morena. The former PAN (Partido Acción Nacional) councilor expressed his decision as a support for President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo and the ongoing transformation movement known as the Fourth Transformation in Tijuana.
“This is an unprecedented effort taking place here in Tijuana. The Fourth Transformation is making its presence felt in the city,” Guerrero León emphasized. His decision comes after another former PAN member, Carlos Torres Torres, who currently coordinates municipal projects and is the husband of Governor Marina Ávila, also joined Morena following an invitation from López Beltrán.
Guerrero León conveyed that the shift was not just about political allegiance but a conscious decision to prioritize welfare policies focusing on the needs of the economically underprivileged. He, however, did not specify the exact timeline for his official enrollment in Morena.
