Santiago Creel Miranda (Spanish pronunciation: [sanˈtjaɣo kɾil miˈɾanda] ⓘ; born on 11 December 1954) is a Mexican lawyer and politician, and a member of the National Action Party (PAN). Since 1 September 2021, he has been a federal deputy and the current president of the Congress of the Union and of the board of directors of the Chamber of Deputies. He served as Secretary of the Interior during the presidency of Vicente Fox Quesada, from 2000 to 2005. In 2006, he was elected senator to the Congress of the Union and served as President of the Senate of the Republic from 2007 to 2008. In 2016 he served as Constituent Deputy of Mexico City.

Background and family life

[edit]

Creel's campaign information describes him as a lawyer, father, and husband, as well as a Party loyalist.[2] Born to an American father of Mexican, English, Irish and Spanish descent, and a French mother of German, German Jewish (as Creel's matrilineal lineage is Jewish, he should be considered to be a Jew by Jewish law), Spanish and Mexican ancestry, he is a descendant of the Creel-Terrazas family via his father René Creel (1921–2009) who was one of the founders of the National Action Party.[3] Creel has a long history with the PAN. In 2008, he admitted that he is the father of actress Edith González's daughter, Constanza.

Education

[edit]

Creel received a bachelor's degree in law from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and subsequently completed graduate studies at Georgetown University and earned a master's degree at the University of Michigan.[4]

Political career

[edit]

His career highlights include running for Head of Government of the Federal District in 2000 (a race he narrowly lost to Andrés Manuel López Obrador). He was later appointed to the cabinet by President Vicente Fox to serve as Secretary of the Interior, a position he held from December 2000 to June 2005.

On 1 June 2005, Creel presented Fox with his resignation in order to seek his party's candidacy for the 2006 presidential election. Creel's main contender for the PAN's candidacy was Felipe Calderón who won the primary elections and went on to become President of Mexico.

In 2006, Creel received a proportional representation seat in the Senate to serve during the 60th and 61st Legislatures (2006–2012) and led the PAN Senate delegation until June 2008.

2012 PAN presidential primary

[edit]

Santiago Creel decided to run for the PAN's Presidential Nomination for the 2012 election and initially led polls ahead of the other candidates on the basis of his high profile, but subsequently lost the nomination to Josefina Vazquez Mota.

Constituent Assembly of Mexico City

[edit]

Creel was one of seven PAN representatives elected by the voters of Mexico City to sit on the Constituent Assembly of Mexico City, which convened on 15 September 2016.[5]

Notes

[edit]
