Emmanuel Reyes Carmona (born 29 June 1987) is a Mexican politician, member of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena) party and formerly of the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD). He has been a federal deputy since 2018, being re-elected to the position in 2021.[1]
Emmanuel Reyes Carmona has a degree in marketing from the Universidad de Guanajuato and a degree in law from the Universidad Superior Bajío.[2][3] He began his political activity as a member of the National Democratic Alternative current of the PRD and in 2011 he was president of the municipal committee of the PRD in the municipality of Villagrán, Guanajuato.[2]
From 2012 to 2015 he was a regidor (councilor) of Villagrán chaired by Rubén Villafuerte Gasca and from 2015 to 2018 private secretary of the municipal president of Cortazar, Hugo Estefanía Monroy.[2] In 2018 he was a PRD pre-candidate for municipal president of Villagrán, failing to win the candidacy.[2][4]
That same year, he was nominated as a candidate for federal deputy by the coalition For Mexico to the Front for District 13 of Guanajuato. He was elected to the LXIV Legislature that concluded in 2021.[2] In it he was secretary of the Health Commission and member of the Transparency and anti-corruption commissions; Surveillance of the Superior Audit of the Federation; Attention to Vulnerable Groups; of Communications and Transportation; Social Economy and Promotion of Cooperatives; and, Budget and Public Account.
When he was elected, he joined the PRD parliamentary group, but on February 19, 2019, he resigned from his membership in that party and announced his non-cooperation with the Morena parliamentary group. In the 2021 elections, he was nominated for re-election to the 13th district deputation but this time by the Juntos Hacemos Historia coalition, being re-elected to the position for the LXV Legislature from 2021 to 2024. In this legislature he is president of the Health commission; Secretary of the Infrastructure Commission; and member of the Surveillance commissions of the Superior Audit of the Federation; of Communications and Transportation; of Radio and Television; and, of Transparency and Anticorruption.
Reyes Carmona is a member of the La Luz del Mundo Church, which has generated public accusations in response to the accusations and conviction for sexual crimes of the church leader Naasón Joaquín García, whom he has publicly defended, rejecting said accusations.[5] The public accusations for his belonging to said religious organization became notorious again when on 1 May 2023 the National Electoral Institute granted registration as a national political association to Humanismo Mexicano, an organization chaired by Reyes Carmona, and in which the deputies and members of La Luz del Mundo Hamlet García Almaguer and Fabio Castellanos Polanco would also be integrated.[6]
