Mexico's Monreal rejects PAN proposal to toughen penalties for narcopoliticians

Ricardo Monreal, a key Morena leader, stated the party will not support a PAN proposal to impose up to 140-year sentences on officials linked to organized crime, citing opposition to draconian measures. This signals a legislative roadblock for the initiative, which aimed to address political-criminal collusion. The rejection may reflect Morena's broader stance on penal reform and could influence the political narrative ahead of elections.
