Political unrest and security management in Uruapan

Overview

Political tension has escalated in Uruapan, Michoacán, involving Mayor Grecia Quiroz and the Morena party. During a government report, Morena councilman Carlos Silva Cortés faced public hostility, including chants of “Fuera, Morena” (Out with Morena), following his criticisms of municipal regulatory deficiencies and security management.

This discontent intensified as the administration faced scrutiny over the dismissal of 109 municipal police officers. Governor Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla disputed the mayor’s claims regarding state involvement in the removals, labeling them “false” and asserting that the municipality is responsible for its own personnel management. Additionally, political aspirant Gladyz Butanda Macías has called for a formal audit of the City Council’s accounts to investigate the management of public resources and the impact of reducing security forces.
