Michoacán Legislature Moves to Propose Grecia Quiroz as Interim Uruapan Mayor

The appointment would preserve the independent city government built outside party structures after Carlos Manzo’s assassination.

Overview

  • Legislative leaders confirmed they will put forward Quiroz as substitute municipal president once the Uruapan city council files its formal notice.
  • The Cabildo is meeting today to issue that notification, a step that could clear the way for an oath before the 76th Legislature this week despite no fixed deadline.
  • Quiroz currently serves as the honorary head of Uruapan’s DIF and has no record of elected office or party affiliation, reflecting the administration’s independent profile.
  • During a public homage, supporters hailed her as “Presidenta,” and she pledged to carry on Manzo’s agenda for the municipality.
  • She later urged residents to halt violent demonstrations as calls for justice continue across Uruapan and Michoacán.
