Movimiento Ciudadano Courts León Mayor Alejandra Gutiérrez After PAN Exit

The outreach tests MC's bid to challenge PAN's hold on Guanajuato ahead of 2027.

Overview

  • Jorge Álvarez Máynez, who posted his invitation Monday on X, urged Alejandra Gutiérrez to join MC and build a “real citizen movement” to end decision‑making by a few in Guanajuato.
  • Gutiérrez said she is still deciding her path, confirmed regular talks with Máynez, noted invitations from other parties, and said no announcement or visit is set.
  • News reports describe the invite as a possible step toward a 2027 MC run for governor, though no formal offer or acceptance has been confirmed.
  • Máynez highlighted León’s clout, calling it one of Mexico’s largest cities, to argue for opening politics to entrepreneurs, workers, activists, and academics beyond tight party circles.
  • The León mayor left PAN last week after about two decades, criticizing what she called a “boys’ club,” a break that could test the party’s long dominance in the state.
