Just over a year after Ivonne Ortega Pacheco resigned from the PRI (after losing the war over management), the Yucatan governor joined the ranks of Citizen Movement.
Ortega was introduced on Wednesday as National Coordinator for Citizen Empowerment of the political party, and will have as its main responsibility “to continue adding men and women who want to participate in citizen movement”.

“If anyone showed that politics could be done from the local, defeating resistance, articulating their people and speaking to the truth, it was Ivonne, who became the first elected governor of her land,” the leader said.
Ortega Pacheco thanked the party’s invitation, where he said “their causes and struggles are reflected to listen to those who no one listens and to fight for whom no one fights.
In August 2019, after 29 years of militancy, Ivonne Ortega Pacheco submitted her resignation from the party and regretted that bad practices would lead this political institute “to extinction”.
