Miguel Ángel Yunes Linares (born December 5, 1952) is a Mexican politician and the current Governor of Veracruz since 2016.
Yunes graduated from the Universidad Veracruzana with a law degree in 1974; during his studies, he worked as a legal advisor in his hometown of Soledad de Doblado. He worked in the civil service from 1974 to 1975 and then as the president of the state's Fiscal Tribunal between 1977 and 1978.
In 1969, Yunes joined the Institutional Revolutionary Party. In 1980, he was elected as a deputy for the first time, to the LI Legislature of the Congress of Veracruz. Yunes's political career developed simultaneously in the PRI and the civil service. He was an official in the Chamber of Deputies between 1982 and 1985, and he served as a national coordinator of state federations within the PRI's Confederación Nacional de Organizaciones Populares. Between 1985 and 1987, Yunes was the director deputy general of the SCT's Department of Airports and Auxiliary Services (ASA).
In 1988, the PRI ran Yunes as a candidate for federal deputy; while he did not win, he instead worked in the Secretariat of Urban Development and Ecology (SEDUE), and he also picked up a diploma in political analysis from the Universidad Iberoamericana in 1990. At the 1991 midterm elections, Yunes was successfully elected to the LV Legislature of the Mexican Congress as a federal deputy, the first of three terms he would serve in San Lázaro. From 1992 to 1997, overlapping with his time as a federal deputy, he coordinated the State Public Security Council.
In 1997, Yunes became the president of the PRI in Veracruz and served as the national coordinator for legal matters between 2002 and 2003.
From 1999 to 2000, Yunes served as the director general of Prevention and Social Readaptation within the Secretariat of the Interior; he would take up a similar post in 2005 with the Secretariat of Public Security.
