Manuela Obrador Narváez

Manuela Obrador Narváez is a cousin of Andrés Manuel López Obrador who made headlines when she ran for a congressional seat in Chiapas. Her candidacy, however, sparked controversy as she was accused of misrepresenting her indigenous heritage to secure a position meant for a member of an indigenous community. This situation drew criticism from various sectors, including calls from López Obrador himself to avoid 'nepotism and influence peddling' in political appointments.
