Marcelo Luis Ebrard Casaubón (Spanish pronunciation: [maɾˈselo eˈβɾaɾð]; born 10 October 1959) is a Mexican politician who has served as the secretary of economy since 2024. He previously served as Secretary of Foreign Affairs under President Andrés Manuel López Obrador from 2018 to 2023. He served as Head of Government of the Federal District (Mexico City) from 2006 to 2012.
Ebrard won the 2006 Federal District election as a Democratic Revolution Party (PRD)-led electoral alliance. As mayor, Ebrard presided over the creation of the Ecobici mobility system, the Prepa Sí program that grants scholarships to low-income students, and revival projects in the city's historic center.[2] While in office, he served as secretary-general of the former Federal District Department, minister of public security, and minister of social development of the Mexican capital.[citation needed] In 2010, Ebrard was nominated as the "world's best mayor" by the Project World Mayor.[3][dead link ] After leaving office, he served as president of the United Nations Global Network on Safer Cities.[4] From 2009 to 2012, he was the chair of the World Mayors Council on Climate Change.[5]
During his mayoralty, Ebrard was seen as a likely future presidential candidate. In 2012, Ebrard ran for the PRD's nomination for President, ultimately losing to López Obrador.[6][7] In June 2023, Ebrard resigned from his position as Secretary of Foreign Affairs to run for president in the 2024 election, but lost Morena's nomination to Claudia Sheinbaum.[8] On 20 June 2024, president-elect Sheinbaum announced that Ebrard would serve as Secretary of the Economy in her cabinet beginning 1 October 2024.[9]
Además, implementó el sistema de movilidad urbana Ecobici, puso en marcha el programa Prepa Sí, que consistía en el otorgamiento de becas para estudiantes de escasos recursos, rehabilitó el Monumento a la Revolución y la Alameda, e intervino el Centro Histórico capitalino.
Toward the end of his term, Ebrard, who is now in his late fifties, was widely regarded as Mexico's President-in-waiting for the 2018 elections, and for many people that was one reason to feel a little optimistic about the future of the beleaguered country.
