Grecia Quiroz Sworn In as Uruapan’s Substitute Mayor Under Heavy Security

A unanimous 38-vote resolution in an extraordinary session installed her to complete the term.

Overview

  • She arrived at the Michoacán Congress in a black armored SUV escorted by National Guard vehicles for the swearing-in in Morelia.
  • Roughly 100 state police secured the area, and 12–15 National Guard members are assigned to her protection, though she was not wearing a bulletproof vest.
  • After the vote, she returned to Uruapan, where the Municipal Palace was guarded by the national army.
  • Supporters from the Movimiento del Sombrero, including deputy Carlos Alejandro Tafolla, pledged to protect her as she vowed to continue Carlos Manzo’s legacy.
  • A state legislator said the appointment should stabilize city governance and sustain coordination with higher authorities, while it remains unconfirmed whether municipal police will resume protecting her.
