Irma Leticia Leal Moya, a recognized academic with a long-standing career in the Mexican educational and political field, has stood out for her participation in various prestigious institutions in the country. Originally from Santa Anita, a small town near Guadalajara, Leal Moya has managed to excel despite coming from a family of limited resources.
During her youth, she received a scholarship to study at the University of Georgia in the United States, an experience that marked her life and provided her with a new perspective on the political structures of the country. With a doctorate in Legal Sciences from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a master's degree in Law from the University of Georgia, she has combined her work as a professor-researcher with positions in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the presidency of the Republic.
Her career at the University of Guadalajara has also been remarkable, holding important roles such as rector of the Tlajomulco University Center, director of the Center for Strategic Studies for Development, and rector of the University Center of Los Altos. Additionally, she has collaborated in the National Security Commission, where she had the opportunity to work with Adolfo Aguilar Zínser, one of the most influential intellectuals in Mexico.
Recently, Leticia Leal's son, Máximo Bravo, publicly denounced his mother for physical, psychological, and sexual abuse, which has generated controversy in the public sphere. The teenager has sought to raise awareness about his case through social media, facing censorship and challenges from feminist groups and pressures related to his mother's influence in the state of Jalisco.
Máximo Bravo has taken actions to ensure his complaint is heard, such as creating a petition on Change.org addressed to the rector of the University of Guadalajara, Ricardo Villanueva, aimed at stopping his mother's candidacy for the rectorate of the institution. The situation has sparked public debate surrounding the figure of Irma Leticia Leal Moya and has called into question her reputation and academic career.
