Estados Unidos asesta un golpe al corazón de Morena con la retirada de la visa a Andy López Beltrán

The United States has intensified its visa withdrawal policy, and this week it has revoked the travel permit of a key figure in Mexican politics. The cancellation of Andy López Beltrán's migration document is not merely another 175,000 deportations carried out by Donald Trump since assuming office; it represents an unprecedented blow to the heart of Morena and a warning to all officials of President Claudia Sheinbaum's party: no one at the official junta is safe from scrutiny, not even the son and heir of former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

The suspension of the entry authorization does not imply any accusations, but the total silence of U.S. authorities and the context surrounding the event invite speculation and fuel the opposition narrative, which has amplified accusations of corruption against the government. In response, the Morena sector accuses the northern Executive of "political interference" and has rallied behind its former Secretary of Organization, who exposed the new measure in a scathing letter to Trump himself.
