New Coahuila Deputies Sworn In Amid Labor Critics' Call for Worker Representation

On May 12, 2026, the Congress of the Mexican state of Coahuila administered oaths to three newly elected deputies—Rocío del Carmen Ramos Moncada, Ángel Mahatma Sánchez Guajardo and Guillermo Arturo Sánchez García—and their respective substitutes. The session also appointed Beatriz Eugenia Fraustro Dávila as president of the Congress and discussed upcoming security measures and a dry‑law period ahead of the June 7 legislative elections.

Simultaneously, the Confederación Obrera Revolucionaria (COR) condemned the lack of genuine labor representation in the chamber. Spokesperson Alfonso López Blanco said, "There are no deputies in Coahuila or anywhere else who represent the working class. They are 'steam‑made' deputies, children of current politicians, playing Nintendo instead of addressing workers' needs." The criticism highlights concerns over the dominance of political elites in the state’s legislative bodies.

Both events underscore the political climate in Coahuila as it prepares for a new legislative term.
