Carolina Monroy del Mazo, cousin of former president Enrique Peña Nieto, quit the PRI on April 14 and joined Somos México, a group seeking registration as a political party for the 2027 elections. In a press conference, she said there is no place for her in the current PRI. Guadalupe Acosta Naranjo, leader of Somos México, announced mobilizations against a possible TEPJF rejection of their registration.
Rubén Moreira, PRI coordinator in Mexico's Chamber of Deputies, presented an initiative to ban banking fees on basic, payroll and social program accounts. The bill aims to amend laws of the Bank of Mexico and credit institutions to eliminate charges for opening, maintenance and withdrawals. Moreira noted that fees accounted for 94% of the financial system's profits in 2025.

PRI's former senator Beatriz Paredes Rangel denied a fake image spread on social media portraying her as the PRI's presidential candidate for 2030. She clarified that the message does not come from her official accounts. The denial comes days after the PRI announced aspirants for 2027 gubernatorial races.
Former President Ernesto Zedillo accused Morena of copying the worst of the PRI to build a hegemonic party and destroy democracy in Mexico. In response, President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that the country is experiencing its best moment of freedom and democracy. The exchange revived an old feud between the two leaders.
