Juan Pablo Kuri Carballo, a notable figure in the Green Party of Mexico (PVEM) and a known business personality in Puebla, has been detained by state authorities for accusations of domestic violence against his former spouse. Kuri’s reputation was initially built on his significant political role within the PVEM, where he played an influential role in the party's operations in the region over the last decade. His family background as part of a prominent business family in Puebla also contributed to his public profile, making the allegations against him particularly shocking for many in the community.

Born on July 16, 1983, in San Gregorio Atzompa, Puebla, Kuri is the son of Antonio Kuri Alam, a business figure with a history in the textile industry and former delegate for the National Workers' Housing Fund Institute (Infonavit) in Puebla. Kuri Carballo pursued a degree in Administration at the Universidad de las Américas Puebla (UDLAP), from which he launched his political career. His political engagement began in 2013, working alongside the PRI-PVEM coalition under Enrique Doger, marking the beginning of his ascent in local politics.

The arrest of Kuri raises significant questions about violence against women in the political sphere in Mexico, a country grappling with high levels of domestic violence and systemic issues related to gender-based violence. As this case unfolds, it could spark discussions around accountability and the role of political leaders in addressing such serious allegations, particularly within the context of ongoing efforts to combat domestic violence in Mexican society.
