Personal life

Reyes Carmona is a member of the La Luz del Mundo Church, which has generated public accusations in response to the accusations and conviction for sexual crimes of the church leader Naasón Joaquín García, whom he has publicly defended, rejecting said accusations. [8] The public accusations for his belonging to said religious organization became notorious again when on 1 May 2023 the National Electoral Institute granted registration as a national political association to Humanismo Mexicano, an organization chaired by Reyes Carmona, and in which the deputies and members of La Luz del Mundo Hamlet García Almaguer  [ es ] and Favio Castellanos Polanco  [ es ] are also reportedly involved.
