“The Ones with the Hats”Carlos Alberto Manzo Rodríguez assumed the municipal presidency of Uruapan in 2024, when he won the local elections by a wide majority, leading an independent movement called "Los del Sombrero" (The Hat Men).
His peculiar confrontational style of denouncing and fighting organized crime in his locality, whom he does not hesitate to point out and expose, has earned him the nickname of the Michoacán "Bukele".
He had recently sent messages through his social media accounts pleading for help and support to President Claudia Sheinbaum and Omar García, the federal Secretary of Security, asking them to reinforce federal security with elements of the National Guard and the Army.
