Campeche governor met with boos at Piratas stadium opening ceremony

Campeche Governor Layda Sansores San Román was met with sparse applause and loud boos during the opening ceremony of the Piratas de Campeche baseball team's stadium.

Videos circulating on social media show the moment she was introduced at the ballpark, where the crowd's response was overwhelmingly negative—filled with jeers and only scattered clapping.

Sansores, whose administration has been marked by a series of controversial decisions, has long faced sharp criticism from opponents and citizens alike.

Social media users suggested the hostile reception reflects the "political wear-and-tear" she now faces, nearly five years into her term.

In 2027, Campeche will elect a new governor, mayors, and local lawmakers.
