In an effort to expand its political influence, the Morena party is targeting a membership of 300,000 in Baja California by the next year, as announced by Luisa María Alcalde Luján, the President of Morena’s National Executive Committee. This announcement was made during an informational assembly held at the Nuevo Toreo in Tijuana, with participation from the mayors of the state’s seven municipalities and various officials from all governmental levels.

Alcalde Luján emphasized that Morena’s nationwide goal is to reach 10 million members, which would establish it as the largest political party in Latin America. She highlighted the need for vigilance and the importance of a historical responsibility, calling for a reorganization and a grassroots approach to recruitment by visiting homes door-to-door.

Furthermore, Alcalde Luján expressed intentions to strengthen neighborhood committees and ensure Morena’s persistence for future generations. The party plans to return to selection processes such as lotteries for proportional representation seats and conduct surveys to decide on candidates for public office.

Despite the ambitious goal and participation of local leaders, the turnout at the assembly was less than full, with several vacant seats, even though buses had been arranged to transport attendees to the event.

In related developments within Baja California’s political scene, Mario Osuna Jiménez is set to step down from his role as the state leader of the PAN party. This transition signifies potential shifts in the political dynamics of the region. As Morena strives to increase its membership, opposition parties are also strategizing to enhance their engagement with the population and ensure effective dialogue with national figures like Claudia Sheinbaum, with hopes of securing more resources for Baja California.

Meanwhile, the fight against corruption in the state remains a topic of debate, with critiques pointing out selective enforcement and primarily rhetorical commitments. As the region navigates these political currents, the Council Coordinating Business urges that vital issues should not be delayed due to structural changes in autonomous bodies.

The unfolding political landscape in Baja California underscores a moment of transformation where parties like Morena are pushing for growth, while others aim to adapt and respond to evolving challenges.
