Indigenous Women Rally Behind Gladyz Butanda as She Steps Up Drive for 2027 Morena Nomination in Michoacán

The urban development secretary touts a women-led network to back Sheinbaum’s parity push.

Overview

  • At a gathering in Paracho organized by deputy Eréndira Isauro Hernández, Butanda called for an “army of women” to advance a woman-led government in the state.
  • Approximately a thousand indigenous women attended, including leaders from Santa Cruz Tanaco, Ahuirán, Quinceo, Zipiajo and Cheranástico.
  • Butanda reaffirmed her intention to seek Morena’s 2027 gubernatorial nomination as Gov. Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla’s term ends that year.
  • She framed the organizing effort as defending the continuity of the 4T and supporting President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo’s agenda for more women governors.
  • Speakers acknowledged likely political resistance and foreshadowed an internal Morena contest yet to be decided.
