Martínez Named Official Orator as Morelia Marks Morelos’ 260th Birth Anniversary

Honors at key Morelos sites opened the civic program, with the invitation to President Claudia Sheinbaum still pending.

Overview

  • A state and municipal contingent launched the commemoration with a bando solemne from the Municipal Palace to the Casa Natal and Casa Sitio de Morelos, where officials rendered honors and signed the visitors’ book.
  • Mayor Alfonso Martínez will deliver the official address at the civic act, a role he said was agreed in coordination with Governor Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla.
  • Attendance by President Claudia Sheinbaum, jointly invited by the governor and the mayor, remained unconfirmed on Tuesday morning.
  • The procession was led by Martínez and state finance secretary Luis Navarro, accompanied by the University Montrer war band, before the act in Jardín Morelos.
  • On Monday night, a mega concert headlined by Sonora Luz de Luna drew large crowds, and Martínez greeted attendees while previewing a unity-focused speech urging respect for differing views, institutions and free expression.
