for Hidalgo's 6th

Miguel Ángel Osorio Chong (; 5 August 1964) is a Mexican politician affiliated with the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). He served as the Secretary of the Interior in the cabinet of Enrique Peña Nieto from 2012 to 2018 and was also Governor of Hidalgo from 2005 to 2011.

Early life

Born in Pachuca, Hidalgo, Osorio is a graduate of the Autonomous University of Hidalgo's Law School. He is of Chinese descent through his mother's family.

Political career

In 2003, Osorio was elected to serve in the Chamber of Deputies, hence he served during the 59th Congress.

Before being elected Governor Osorio held several public positions in the administration of the state of Hidalgo, mainly performing in the portfolios of Government and Social Development. He was elected Governor of the state of Hidalgo in 2005 for the period 1 April 2005, through to 31 March 2011.

Osorio was appointed Secretary of the Interior by President Enrique Peña Nieto. After assuming office, the Ministry absorbed the functions of two former ministries, that of Government and the one which was in charge of Homeland Security. Besides, he assumed the responsibility of being the coordinator of the whole cabinet. His wife, Laura Vargas, is national Director of DIF, the National System for Integral Family Development. In July 2015, while on a state visit to France with President Nieto, notorious drug kingpin Joaquin Guzman Loera escaped from a federal prison; he was dispatched back to Mexico to lead the effort at recapture which he was involved with El Chapo for a long time.

In response to questions about inconsistencies in his declaration of wealth, Senator Osorio presented four boxes of documents to the Secretariat of the Civil Service (SFP) in August 2020. The newspaper Reforma had published an article in July questioning his supposed home ownership in Mexico City.
