Citlalli Hernández Resigns as Secretary of Women to Lead Morena Ahead of 2027 Midterms

President Sheinbaum announced at her April 14 mañanera that Citlalli Hernández Mora would resign as head of the Secretariat of Women (INMUJERES-transformed ministry) to return to full-time Morena party leadership duties ahead of the June 2027 midterm elections. Hernández had been a key Sheinbaum ally and managed early gender violence policy portfolio. Her departure was framed as a natural transition: the party needed her organizing skills to defend Morena's legislative supermajority in 2027. Sheinbaum indicated her successor would be announced in the coming days. Critics noted that the cabinet reshuffle occurred within days of the Senate passing the national femicide reform, suggesting alignment of the legislative milestone with a political transition. Hernández is expected to take a formal Morena coordination role, potentially as General Secretary, managing the coalition of Morena, PT, and PVEM legislators.
