Tatiana Clouthier eyes Nuevo León governorship for Morena

Tatiana Clouthier, former Economy Secretary and current head of the Institute for Mexicans Abroad, claimed the best chances to win Nuevo León's governorship for Morena. In an interview, she voiced interest in entering the party's June survey and critiqued potential rivals.

Tatiana Clouthier, who left the PAN in 2005 and joined Andrés Manuel López Obrador's project in 2012 before backing Claudia Sheinbaum, disclosed her bid for Nuevo León's governorship in an interview with René Delgado on El Financiero Bloomberg's EntreDichos program. 'Me interesa registrarme en la encuesta de Morena en junio,' she said, adding: 'soy la que tiene más posibilidades de ‘jalar’ para ganar Nuevo León, de tejer redes; soy una mujer confiable, he vivido el movimiento de la ‘4T’ y tengo muchas cosas que aportar'.Remaining independent without formal Morena membership, Clouthier stressed her deep knowledge of the state and steady hand. She noted Sheinbaum's popularity in Nuevo León at 75 to 82%, despite U.S. issues. Key challenges include severe pollution and chaotic mobility.On rivals, she called Luis Donaldo Colosio Riojas's tenure as Monterrey mayor poor, and said Mariana Rodríguez, wife of Governor Samuel García, embodies unwanted family power continuity that locals oppose.
