A video about Blanca Pedrín Chapulín is taking local WhatsApp groups and social media in Los Cabos by storm. This clip has caused many locals to talk about the activist, labeling her as a social climber, opportunist, and ambitious.

Who is Blanca Pedrín?

Originally from San José del Cabo, Blanca Pedrín presents herself as an activist. But her actions reveal ambition and the use of influence for personal gain.

Pedrín sought to run for federal deputy for District II under the PRI–PAN–PRD coalition (“Fuerza y Corazón por México” or “Strength and Heart for Mexico”), with the intention of joining Xóchitl Gálvez’s project. However, she was rejected: first, the PRD withdrew her candidacy; then, the PAN and PRI opted for other candidates.
Aspirations with MORENA.

After her unsuccessful stint with the opposition coalition. Local sources say that Blanca Pedrín has turned to MORENA with the intention of finding a “bone”—either as a candidate or in some representative position—taking advantage of her growing activism and presence on the public agenda. Rumor has it that within MORENA there is marked discomfort with these ambitions, especially given her opposition past and the competition she could represent to already established figures. There is concern that Pedrín’s business history and dubious fortune could represent a costly setback for MORENA in the municipality.
