Movimiento Ciudadano in Nuevo León has rejected the proposed appointment of Jesús Cantú Escalante as executive secretary of the State Electoral and Citizen Participation Institute, saying the nomination itself raises doubts.

The party argued that electoral institutions must remain autonomous to guarantee certainty, impartiality and equal conditions for all political parties.

MC pointed to Cantú Escalante’s previous role as a spokesperson and member of the war room for former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s campaign. It also noted that he later served in the Morena government, including alongside Tatiana Clouthier Carrillo, one of the movement’s contenders for the governorship of Nuevo León.
