Mexican opposition asks US to designate ruling party terrorist
Alejandro Moreno, head of Mexico's opposition PRI, formally petitioned the US State Department, Justice Department, and Treasury to label the ruling Morena party a Foreign Terrorist Organization. No evidence provided.
Morena's response: this is foreign intervention. US agencies haven't moved on it.
The context: US is indicting Mexican officials on narcotrafficking charges, CIA was caught running operations in Mexico without the government's permission, and now the opposition is asking Washington to designate a party that controls the presidency, both chambers of Congress, and 24 of 31 states as terrorists.
This is exactly how imperial powers topple governments they don't like. Soft coup playbook on full display.
🇲🇽 Mexican Opposition Asks U.S. to Label Ruling Party a Terrorist Organization Alejandro Moreno, head of Mexico’s opposition PRI, has formally petitioned the U.S. State Department, Justice Department, and Treasury to designate the ruling National Regeneration Movement (known as the Morena party, not to be confused with the Moreno, the PRI leader) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, claiming alleged ties to drug cartels. No evidence was provided, Anadolu reported. Morena’s new party president, Ariadna Montiel, rejected the move as “foreign intervention,” and no U.S. agency has announced any action in response. The petition comes amid a U.S. indictment of Sinaloa Governor Rubén Rocha Moya and nine others, including a sitting senator, on narcotrafficking charges, which itself followed news of CIA operatives conducting intelligence activities inside Mexico without authorization from the Sheinbaum government. In August 2025, Moreno filed a separate criminal complaint with Mexico’s Attorney General, alleging ties between Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and Morena politicians. The National Regeneration Movement controls the presidency, both chambers of Congress, and 24 of Mexico’s 31 states.
