In less than three weeks, Quintana Roo will hold an election that could significantly alter its local political landscape, particularly in the municipalities of Cozumel and Solidaridad. Morena's candidates, José Luis Chacón and Estefanía Mercado, have demonstrated unexpected effectiveness, surpassing the expectations of the historically dominant power groups in these regions.

Morena's advantage in these municipalities is largely due to widespread public dissatisfaction. Cozumel's citizens appear to have grown weary of previous administrations, which were characterized by corruption and elitist privileges. This has positioned José Luis Chacón as the favorite for the mayorship. He is the first candidate to rise from the ranks of the people, and voters, still remembering previous administrations that favored a select few, seem ready for a radical change.

The future of the Joaquín group on the island is uncertain. PRI member Pedro Joaquín Delbouis is attempting to return to the mayor's office, despite losing his re-election three years ago amidst popular discontent. His aspiration to regain public favor appears to be a challenging task, given the clear shift in voter attitudes towards more transparent, equitable, and popular leadership.

In Solidaridad, the situation is similar. Mayor Lili Campos Miranda is hoping to retain her position, but her administration has been criticized for prioritizing specific group interests over general welfare. Her strategy of forming alliances with former rivals, whom she previously accused of corruption, has caused distrust among the increasingly aware electorate. Her intimidation tactics, aimed at creating a climate of fear among voters, have also been unsuccessful.

The role of the real estate industry is a crucial factor in the vote from the local business sector, which has been a consistent victim of an official extortion system from the city council. Both municipalities are significant due to their economic potential, particularly in the real estate sector, adding another layer of complexity to the political scenario. Candidates who position themselves as advocates for equitable and sustainable development could gain substantial support, not just from the public, but also from those looking to invest under improved conditions.

Both projections and polls favor Morena's candidates in these municipalities. However, the challenge for Chacón and Mercado will be to maintain momentum and translate popular support into actual votes on election day. Morena appears to have learned from past mistakes, adopting strategies that better align with voters' demands for transparency and equity. The real test, however, will be their ability to fulfill these promises if they are elected.

The outcome of these elections will not only determine who governs these municipalities but will also reflect broader political trends across the state. As the election day of June 2nd approaches, Quintana Roo finds itself at the center of a political storm. This could be a defining moment for both municipalities, offering them the chance to change their political trajectory by choosing leaders who genuinely represent the majority's interests.
