Grecia Quiroz and Movimiento Ciudadano renew public ties ahead of 2027
Uruapan mayor Grecia Quiroz appeared with leaders of Movimiento Ciudadano at senator Luis Donaldo Colosio Riojas’s public report.
The meeting follows a recent event where party leaders attended Quiroz’s own government report.
The public meetings come as politicians discuss a possible 2027 run for Michoacán governor.
Movimiento Ciudadano leaders have said they are open to supporting Quiroz’s political project, but conversations have not produced a concrete agreement.
