Rubén Sánchez, the enigmatic businessman and partner of Xóchitl Gálvez, has captured the curiosity of many as the potential first gentleman of Mexico if Gálvez secures victory in the upcoming elections. Sánchez, who maintains a low profile, is a key figure in Gálvez’s life and political journey.
Having met during their university years, where Gálvez pursued Computing Engineering at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and Sánchez was studying Chemical Engineering at the Instituto Politécnico Nacional, their connection blossomed into a strong support system for Gálvez’s family during her tenure in various governmental positions.
During Gálvez’s time as the head of the Office of the Presidency for the Attention of Indigenous Peoples under former President Vicente Fox, Sánchez took on a significant role in caring for their children with unwavering dedication and love, as narrated by Gálvez in a 2022 interview with journalist Elisa Alanís on YouTube.
Besides his professional background in chemistry, Sánchez is known as a versatile entrepreneur and a musician. His public appearances alongside Gálvez increased notably during her term as the mayor of Miguel Hidalgo in Mexico City, where he not only accompanied her to political events but also showcased his musical talent by performing with his rock band at rallies.
As Gálvez now takes on the challenge of running for the presidency with the support of the opposition coalition comprised of Acción Nacional, Revolucionario Institucional, and Revolución Democrática, Sánchez has once again stepped into the spotlight, making select appearances alongside his partner. Noteworthy instances include their family outings to important landmarks like the Monumento a la Revolución and the Basílica, shared by their daughter Diana Vega Gálvez on social media.
The presence of Rubén Sánchez in Gálvez’s political journey not only sheds light on his role as a supportive partner but also adds a unique dimension to the campaign dynamics, drawing attention to the personal side of a potential presidential pairing.
