Grecia Quiroz, the mayor of Uruapan, has recently accused political adversaries of attempting to initiate a political trial against her, aimed at her removal from office. This allegation comes just three and a half months after the assassination of her husband, Carlos Manzo, suggesting that the local political climate is fraught with tension and intimidation. In her Facebook statement, Quiroz claimed that the move to silence her is not isolated but rather part of a broader strategy to undermine her leadership and that of her political movement, known as the Sombrero Movement.

Quiroz further emphasized the link between her current struggles and the violent circumstances surrounding her husband's death, which remains unresolved with no trial against those responsible for his assassination conducted on November 1, 2025. She accused the authorities of failing to seek justice for her husband's murder, expressing that the local populace is aware of this failure. This ongoing situation underscores the challenges faced not only by Quiroz in her political career but also highlights the frustrations within the community regarding safety and justice.

In her passionate defense of her position, Quiroz vowed that despite any potential political trial or efforts to remove her from office, she will continue to lead her political project and that it does not solely rely on her leadership as an individual. Her resilience illustrates the precarious nature of politics in areas suffering from violence and political persecution, as she rallies support not just for her administration, but for broader democratic ideals in her community.
