In this year’s most important Mexican elections, held June 5 in six states, Morena scored a series of stunning successes. This México News Daily dispatch offers a breakdown.

The Morena party won four of six gubernatorial elections held Sunday, June 5, increasing the number of federal entities controlled by the ruling party to 20 (out of 32 states). Morena candidates triumphed in Hidalgo, Oaxaca, Quintana Roo, and Tamaulipas.

Américo Villareal, Morena’s candidate in Tamaulipas, triumphed over César Verástegui, who served as government secretary in the current PAN administration. Villareal . . . won 50 percent of the vote compared to 44 percent for Verástegui.

President López Obrador asserted Monday that the opposition’s “classism” was a factor . . . in the states won by Morena, a party he founded.

“I shouldn’t be giving advice . . . but they should carry out a review of their strategy, it affects them a lot . . . their classism, their racism” he told reporters at his morning news conference. “They show disdain for people, they have no love for people,” claimed López Obrador, who continues to enjoy a high approval rating 3 1/2 years after taking office.
