Morena Names Eduardo Castillo to Head Desafuero Case Against Alito Moreno

Morena's Chamber of Deputies caucus, on a proposal from coordinator Ricardo Monreal, unanimously named deputy Eduardo Castillo as the new president of the Sección Instructora on August 31, filling the vacancy left by Hugo Eric Flores' departure to lead the PAZ party. Legislators chanted 'desafuero' as the appointment was confirmed, signaling continued pressure to strip PRI leader Alejandro 'Alito' Moreno of his immunity. Morena deputy Leonel Godoy proposed broadening the effort to review immunity for all legislators rather than singling out Moreno, arguing a narrower move risked turning him into a political martyr. Castillo, a lawyer and former #YoSoy132 spokesman in Puebla, now controls the timeline for resolving the year-old Campeche corruption case.
