Who is Ignacio ‘Nachito’ Peregrín, Belinda's younger brother who ran for deputy in 2021?

Ignacio ‘Nachito’ Peregrín, brother of singer Belinda, attempted a political career in 2021 by running for deputy in Mexico City.

In the entertainment world, the Peregrín surname is most commonly associated with the singer Belinda. However, her younger brother, Ignacio 'Nacho' Peregrín Schüll, has also made headlines, albeit in a different sphere outside of music. At just 29 years old, Nacho became known in 2021 when he ran as a candidate for deputy under the Green Party (PVEM) in District XV of Benito Juárez, Mexico City.

That same year, Peregrín met with former mayor of Cuauhtémoc, Sandra Cuevas, at the Carajillo restaurant, shortly after she assumed office under a coalition of PAN, PRI, and PRD. This meeting was significant as Peregrín sought to advance his public administration career, but ultimately, his political ambitions did not materialize as he had hoped.

Despite his efforts, Ignacio Peregrín Schüll's political journey did not lead him to office, highlighting the challenges faced by individuals trying to transition from the entertainment industry to politics. This narrative raises questions about the relationship between celebrity and political aspirations in Mexico, especially in a landscape characterized by a blend of entertainment and governance.
