José Bricio López Rabadán, brother of Chamber of Deputies President Kenia López Rabadán, died on the night of Sunday, November 9, from a cerebral aneurysm. The PAN deputy remembered him as an outstanding public servant and dedicated father. Politicians from various parties sent condolences to the family.
Kenia López Rabadán, president of the Chamber of Deputies' Board and a member of the National Action Party (PAN), confirmed the death of her brother José Bricio López Rabadán. The death occurred on the night of Sunday, November 9, due to a cerebral aneurysm, as stated by the deputy.
In a message posted on her X account, López Rabadán dedicated touching words to her brother, whom she called 'Pepe'. She described him as an economist graduated from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) who began his career in the federal government in 1995 without connections or favoritism, rising to deputy director general. He worked 30 years as a public servant, including in the Senate of the Republic from 2019 to 2024, and as head of the Internal Audit Area at ProMéxico until its closure in 2019. 'He was my inspiration to dedicate myself to public service. He was an economist, a great student,' she wrote. She thanked him for lessons in overcoming challenges, honor, and love for public work, calling him 'a good human being, a good father, a good son, a good brother, and a good public servant' who resisted corruption and lived in 'fair mediocrity'.
The news prompted condolences from political figures across parties. Ricardo Monreal, Morena coordinator in San Lázaro, stated: 'I regret the sensitive passing of José Bricio López Rabadán, brother of @kenialopezr... My condolences and prayers for her and her family'. The Chamber of Deputies issued a message of solidarity: 'We accompany with respect and solidarity the deputy @kenialopezr... We wish strength and comfort to her family'. Other messages came from INE counselor Carla Humphrey, PAN Senator Lilly Téllez, Movimiento Ciudadano coordinator Ivonne Ortega, Chihuahua Governor María Eugenia Campos, and Chamber Vice President Sergio Gutiérrez Luna. The PAN in Mexico City also joined the condolences.
In March of this year, López Rabadán defended her brother's career against nepotism accusations from Morena deputy Andrea Chávez, who pointed to his Senate employment during her time as senator.
