Michoacán Congress Calls Extraordinary Session to Swear In Grecia Quiroz as Uruapan's Substitute Mayor

Lawmakers move to safeguard municipal continuity under the 'ausencia definitiva' process.

Overview

  • The plenary is set to convene Wednesday at 14:30 for a single agenda item: the oath of office for Quiroz.
  • Congressional commissions advanced the decree after receiving the formal notice of Carlos Manzo’s permanent absence.
  • A planned vote earlier in the week was canceled due to protests reported in Morelia and other municipalities.
  • Quiroz, widow of the slain mayor and former head of Uruapan’s DIF, is aligned with the Movimiento del Sombrero and would serve the 2024–2027 term.
  • Authorities reported one suspected attacker killed and two detained at the scene, and President Claudia Sheinbaum said the intellectual authors have not been identified after meeting with Quiroz at the National Palace.
