LUNA LORENZO, Uriel  and  LUGO NERIA, Bernabé. The designation of the Municipal Councils in Hidalgo. La ventana [online]. 2023, vol.7, n.58, pp.252-285.  Epub Aug 28, 2023. ISSN 1405-9436.  https://doi.org/10.32870/lv.v7i58.7741.

In Mexico, despite the fact that international commitments have been assumed and legislation has been passed on the matter, gender inequality in politics persists as it continues to manifest itself in spaces of power and in public decision-making. In the context of the COVID-19 Pandemic, this paper proposes to analyze the designation of the Interim Municipal Councils in comparison with the integration of the Town Halls 20202024 of the State of Hidalgo. The research approach is comparative and descriptive. It is concluded that this political event represents a case of gender inequality in politics to the detriment of the historical struggle and political rights of women.
