Senator Morena claims to have traversed the Great Wall of China, expressing jubilation as a dream come true
Senator Sandra Anaya Climbs the Great Wall of China
In a surprising turn of events, Senator Sandra Anaya of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena) was filmed running and climbing the Great Wall of China in August 2025. The video, shared on a verified TikTok account in the senator's name, has garnered nearly 2,000 views.
Sandra Anaya, who is known for her affinity for sports activities, assured the public that she was working within Mexico, just two days after sharing the video from the Great Wall of China. The video's description includes tags such as "Running", "Single and Happy", "Dream Fulfilled", and "Great Wall of China".
The need for austerity has been inscribed in the codes of Morena, the party founded by President Claudia Sheinbaum. However, questions have been raised about the congruence of some party members with the party's austerity discourse due to their travels and luxuries. Figures like Andrés Manuel López Beltrán, Ricardo Monreal, Sergio Gutiérrez Luna, and Gerardo Fernández Noroña have faced such scrutiny.
Claudia Sheinbaum has repeatedly stated that governing people must have the commitment to "live in moderation", quoting former President Benito Juárez García. However, the details of Sandra Anaya's trip to China remain unclear, and it is not known whether it was a personal vacation or a diplomatic mission.
In her political career, Sandra Anaya has held the position of Secretaria de Administración (Secretary of Administration) in the state government of Morelos, appointed by Governor Cuauhtémoc Blanco in 2021. She has also been active as a federal legislator (diputada federal) for Morena.
Morena, under President Sheinbaum, has consolidated significant electoral victories at federal and state levels, winning multiple governorships and securing a near-supermajority in the Senate by 2025. While Sandra Anaya's trip to China has raised questions, her commitment to her work and her party remains unwavering.
