Uruapan Mayor Condemns Senators' Chants Backing Morón During Senate Visit

The clash highlights rising political strain in Michoacán after the killing of her husband.

Overview

  • Videos from the Senate floor show Gerardo Fernández Noroña leading chants of “Morón” as Morena senators clustered around Raúl Morón during Grecia Quiroz’s visit.
  • Quiroz attended by invitation of Senator Emmanuel Reyes Carmona and later wrote on X that the display “showed who they are” and that she will keep working for her city and state.
  • The Uruapan mayor has urged that no line be closed in the probe of her husband Carlos Manzo’s November 1, 2025 killing, naming Morón and former governor Leonel Godoy as leads to examine.
  • Political analyst Federico Berrueto called the scene a provocation and said Quiroz “walked into the wolf’s den” by entering a chamber he described as hostile to her.
  • Opinion coverage blasted the conduct, with 24 Horas listing senators who booed and noting precautionary measures the Michoacán electoral institute imposed on Fernández Noroña over gender-based political violence against Quiroz.
