In mid-August 2026, Movimiento Ciudadano (MC) formalized its presence in Quintana Roo with the presentation of its Provisional Operating Commission in Chetumal. Joaquín González Castro was named state coordinator, while Lidia Rojas Fabro assumed the role of Secretary of Organization. National coordinator Jorge Álvarez Máynez emphasized a shift toward territorial presence, specifically targeting the win of at least 10 state capitals in 2027, including Chetumal and the Othón P. Blanco municipality. Máynez noted the party aims to build structures through district definitions, polling station representation, and voter promotion to position itself for the 2030 presidency. However, the party’s expansion has faced internal friction. On August 26, during a book presentation at the University of Guanajuato, Álvarez Máynez was confronted by party member Brenda de la Mora. De la Mora accused the Guanajuato leadership of practicing ‘old politics’ and sidelining long-term members in favor of established profiles. Álvarez Máynez responded by stating he is open to internal criticism but suggested these tensions arise from opposition nervousness following the defection of León Mayor Alejandra Gutiérrez Campos to MC. He characterized the incident as a sign of the party’s expansion and accused local governments of attempting to undermine the organization. Further internal dissent emerged on September 9, when Juan José Salazar Hernández resigned from his roles as Secretary of Social Management for the State Steering Committee and as a member of the National Coordinator. Salazar Hernández cited disagreements with the party’s decision during the August 1 National Assembly to maintain a policy of independence rather than forming an opposition alliance to compete against Morena in the 2027 elections. Additionally, Álvarez Máynez has looked toward external groups to bolster the party's reach.
