Yunes Márquez's lavish 50th birthday party draws Morena elite amid scandal
Miguel Ángel Yunes Márquez marked his 50th birthday with a high-profile celebration at the Villa Rica Golf Club in Alvarado, Veracruz. The event drew politicians and business leaders, including Adán Augusto López Hernández, who recently convinced Yunes to join the Morena party. A video of the birthday man playing the marimba later went viral online. The party took place on May 4, 2023, against the backdrop of a political scandal. The U.S. government had recently accused several Morena-affiliated politicians of alleged ties to drug trafficking. Despite this, guests arrived in good spirits, dressed in the requested 'casual linen' attire.
Earlier that day, Adán Augusto López had met for breakfast at the Gran Café de la Parroquia with friends, including Senator Homero Davis. At the evening celebration, López posed for photos with Yunes and his son. The mood remained light, with Yunes himself taking to the marimba, a moment captured on video and widely shared on social media. The event highlighted Yunes’ growing political ties within Morena, following his recruitment by López Hernández in September 2024. The relaxed atmosphere and viral marimba performance contrasted with the ongoing controversy surrounding the party. The gathering reinforced connections between key figures in Veracruz’s political and business circles.
