Marco Antonio Adame Castillo (born 6 December 1960) is a Mexican politician, medical doctor, and member of the National Action Party (PAN). He served as governor of Morelos for the term of 2006—2012.
He has supported academic activities and collaborated periodically in his home state. He joined the PAN party in 1997, occupying various positions in the State and National Committees, and in that same year he was elected a Diputado Federal (deputy) to the 57th Federal Legislature. In 2000 he was elected to the role of a Senator, representing Morelos.
Controversy
On June 27, 2009, the Fiscalía Especial para la Atención de Delitos Electorales ("Special prosecutor for the attention of electoral crimes") accused Governor Marco Adame of transferring MXN $15 million of state funds to electoral purposes in favor of Sergio Álvarez Mata, candidate for mayor of Cuernavaca and Adriana Vieyra Olivares, candidate for deputy, both members of the National Action Party.[1]
On January 11, 2010, the Mexican government's organized crime division SIEDO received an anonymous tip accusing the governor's bodyguards of being personally linked to the Beltrán-Leyva Cartel. SIEDO has currently opened an investigation.[2]
