Ariadna Montiel called on Morena members not to be alarmed by the disagreements surfacing around the party's internal process, according to Milenio. The outlet reported her remarks on Friday, September 18, 2026, framing them as a response to friction inside the governing party.
Milenio characterized her message as an appeal for calm — a request, in the outlet's words, that people "not be frightened" by the objections being raised. The report did not detail which specific complaints prompted her comments or where she made them.
The remarks come as Morena works through decisions tied to the 2027 gubernatorial elections. Milenio has also published a look at who is serving as coordinator for each of the governorships in play, while El Universal reported on choices made by the party's leadership and whether those races are at risk. El Financiero, in its own coverage, described Morena's hold on power as being under strain, and La Jornada addressed the same internal dynamics in its Astillero column.
Taken together, the coverage points to a party managing internal competition over candidate selection while preparing for a set of state contests two years out. Montiel's public call for composure is the latest signal that the process has generated visible tension among those involved.
What to watch next: whether Morena's leadership settles the outstanding gubernatorial selections, and whether the complaints Montiel downplayed grow or fade as the 2027 races approach.
