**Carlos Torres Allegedly Undermining the PAN from Within in Baja California, Claims Adriana Dávila**
Adriana Dávila Fernández, a contender for the leadership of the National Action Party (PAN), has voiced concerns over the perceived absence of PAN’s influence in Baja California, attributing it to the actions of various political figures associated with the party, particularly Carlos Torres Torres, the husband of the state’s governor, Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda. Dávila accuses Torres of destabilizing PAN from within by aligning with Morena, citing his past political maneuvers as evidence.
During a press conference held on October 15, 2024, Dávila reflected on her and Torres’s prior work as federal deputies, defending the inauguration of Felipe Calderón as President of Mexico. Nevertheless, she criticizes Torres for endorsing the controversial “Ley Bonilla,” which aimed to extend Jaime Bonilla Valdez’s gubernatorial term, a decision later ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.
Dávila further lambasted PAN’s national leadership for their inability to adequately counter the prevailing Morena regime, accusing them of contributing to PAN’s perceived political irrelevance. She emphasized that this has tangible consequences across various Mexican states, citing Chiapas, Guerrero, Yucatán, and Sinaloa as places suffering due to PAN’s lack of action.
Juan Marcos Gutiérrez González, Dávila’s partner in the candidacy, highlighted the party’s pervasive ethical issues across the country and underscored PAN’s ongoing crisis, which he believes needs rectifying to provide Mexico with a genuine opposition alternative.
