Morena candidacy battle for Gustavo A. Madero mayoralty between Lobo family members, Digi Mart USA News: Deputies Víctor Hugo Lobo Román and Víctor Hugo Lobo Rodríguez have registered to compete for Morena’s candidacy for the Gustavo A. Madero borough mayoralty, according to a column by Martín Aguilar published by Cúspide México.
The column argues that the registrations are not aimed at governing for the public good. Instead, it claims the Lobos are using the bid as leverage to secure positions in exchange for their silence, noting that the elder Lobo has high rejection levels in the borough.
According to the column, Morena’s line is that all its mayors should seek re-election where the law allows, and the current mayor, Janecarlo Lozano, is expected to be nominated again despite the author’s criticism of his handling of insecurity.
The author recounts that Lobo Román was made a federal deputy candidate in 2024 for the State of Mexico after a contentious negotiation, while his son secured a local seat. The column says both positions were obtained after Lobo Román threatened to leave the PRD unless he was made the candidate for head of government in late 2023.
The column further claims Lobo Román is now seeking control of the PRD in Mexico City for his son, Alan Lobo Rodríguez, who it says is not a party member and is therefore ineligible. It says this would require electoral tribunal magistrates to overturn the law in favor of the Lobos, a move the author describes as blackmail.
The author concludes that if Morena continues yielding to such pressure, it will undermine its so-called second stage of transformation. The column is an opinion piece published by the publisher and has not been independently verified.
