# Michoacán reforms, agro push and gender‑violence case

The Michoacán State Congress continues its reform agenda, having passed a July 2026 constitutional amendment package that raises penalties for sexual abuse in schools, enshrines internet access as a constitutional right, bans immediate re‑election for local officials and restricts nepotism among close relatives. The legislature also launched social programmes such as English‑computer certificates, AI training, and secured funding for rural irrigation and digital infrastructure on the Purépecha plateau.

On 8 July 2026 the Michoacán State Electoral Tribunal sanctioned Senator Gerardo Fernández Noroña for gender‑based political violence after remarks aimed at Uruapan Mayor Grecia Quiroz. The verdict required a public apology, compulsory gender‑violence training, registration in a national sanctions list and barred him from the Senate’s Mesa Directiva. Noroña has appealed, arguing the judgment is arbitrary and that the same language would not be penalised if directed at a man.

Separately, on 19 July 2026, candidate Carlos Torres Piña, seeking state coordination of the Defense of Transformation and Sovereignty, highlighted the need to develop Michoacán’s agroindustrial sector. He warned that while the state leads national production of avocados, mangoes, berries, bananas and limes, most are exported raw, limiting local wealth creation. At the same time, the AMA Michoacán rally in Pátzcuaro, organized by Alfonso Martínez Alcázar, gathered thousands to demand greater security, rule‑of‑law enforcement and development initiatives. The rally underscored a growing call for economic diversification and public safety alongside the ongoing reforms and the gender‑violence case.

The appeal by Senator Noroña remains pending, adding a new chapter to Michoacán’s reform drive and its broader debate over gender‑equality measures and regional development.
