Michoacán Congress Swears In Grecia Quiroz as Uruapan’s Substitute Mayor

She pledges to carry on Carlos Manzo’s movement, citing ignored security pleas.

Overview

  • Lawmakers voted unanimously to install Quiroz to complete the 2024–2027 term after the municipal síndico declined the post.
  • Quiroz arrived under a National Guard escort and took the oath during a session attended by supporters chanting “No estás sola” and “Ni un paso atrás.”
  • Her appointment followed a cabildo request advanced by independent deputy Carlos Bautista Tafolla, reflecting the Movimiento del Sombrero’s push for continuity.
  • She met privately with President Claudia Sheinbaum in Mexico City, with federal authorities pledging ongoing coordination on security for Uruapan.
  • The state prosecutor says the immediate assailant was killed at the scene and is probing organized-crime links, while reports naming a suspect known as “El Cuate” remain unconfirmed by officials.
