PAN recruits former Movimiento Ciudadano members in Tamaulipas

The National Action Party (PAN) in Tamaulipas has recently recruited two businessmen, Juanjo Salazar and Jorge García García, who previously held affiliations with Movimiento Ciudadano (MC) and Morena. These moves were reportedly facilitated by César Verástegui Ostos, the former Secretary General of Government under Francisco García Cabeza de Vaca.

Juanjo Salazar’s departure from Movimiento Ciudadano reportedly stemmed from frustrations regarding municipal candidacy processes. After the appointment of Gustavo Cárdenas Gutiérrez as the MC Delegate in Tamaulipas, Salazar transitioned to the PAN. He is currently campaigning in Victoria to secure a PAN candidacy for mayor, facing competition from Jorge García García in what is described as a struggle for political positioning within the party.
