Eduardo Gattás administration in Ciudad Victoria

Overview

Eduardo Gattás Báez secured the mayoralty of Ciudad Victoria following a contentious political path. After previously serving as a councilman and running as a PRI candidate, Gattás transitioned to the MORENA party. This move was marked by internal disputes in March 2024 regarding the mayoral candidacy, which led MORENA to dissolve its local alliances with the Green and Labor parties. Gattás ultimately ran independently and won the election.

As mayor, Gattás has implemented the “Tu Voz Transforma, Caminando por Victoria” program. This initiative involves direct neighborhood outreach to address infrastructure and security concerns. In August 2026, the program continued its operations in the Azteca 2 neighborhood, focusing on green-area cleaning, public lighting repairs, and pothole fixing. Additionally, City Hall secretary Hugo Reséndez Silva met with residents of the El Palmar colonia to discuss public services and local welfare, emphasizing a “government close” approach to citizen concerns.

Beyond municipal administration, Gattás has begun engaging in broader political networking. In mid-August 2026, he hosted a gathering in Victoria featuring various political figures from Tamaulipas, including legislators, municipal presidents, and party leaders. During this event, Gattás expressed an interest in pursuing higher political offices, such as state-level leadership or federal positions, signaling his intent to remain active in future electoral processes.
