Businesspeople in the area believe this is an attempt to sustain a political project in Movimiento Ciudadano (MC) aimed at the mayorship of Pesquería due to the poor results of Francisco Esquivel. A significant point is that MORENA is closely monitoring this conflict within the Martínez family with MC. It should be recalled that the suspension of the company is for the alleged retention of vital liquid from adjacent basins, among other alleged environmental crimes. On the other hand, Martínez Ríos insists on showing alignment with Governor Samuel García at public events and staying out of the conflict in Cerralvo. Unlike other profiles in the party, the leader has not been as harsh with currents outside the governor's, such as simply acting as a mediator for Sandra Pámanes, close to Luis Donaldo Colosio, to take over the coordination in Congress. Baltazar Martínez Montemayor has not hesitated to contradict the Executive publicly, as he offered support to all affected workers at Matrimar and even joined their demands over its closure. Baltazar Martínez Montemayor and Baltazar Martínez Ríos believe there is a front, within the party, against their operation in the north of the metropolis. According to what LPO was able to learn, the closure of the Matrimar quarry — a company linked to PAN and the Martínez family — at the end of 2025 by Palacio de Cantera generates discontent, mainly from Martínez Montemayor, who considers that the company generates jobs and a considerable economic spill in Cerralvo. The company is a key electoral factor in the peripheral municipality — similar to the Pemex Refinery in Cadereyta — and they constantly point to this front as leaders allied with the governor from the Government or Environment secretariats. The front falls on this sector due to alleged grievances with the local legislator in his role as leader of MC. Inside Movimiento Ciudadano, in addition to complex negotiations for the 2026 Budget, tense moments are being lived in the face of the electoral process. They do not rule out intervening if it is an irreparable dispute, since the electoral operation in the corridor that affects Guadalupe and Juárez is extremely attractive heading towards 2027.
