This explains why in his team and in Adán Augusto's team they point to the National Palace itself for the leak within a dispute that seems to be reviving, with no end date in sight, and that could hit the political ambitions of the senator in Chihuahua and the role of the operator of the now-former coordinator nationwide. Here, as they highlight, the first problem arose after Andrea Chávez was unveiled to run in Chihuahua. 'The agreement was that she would lower her profile, but she didn't,' a legislative source assured this news outlet, recalling that the large state is in the first constituency. Cruz Pérez Cuéllar crosses Adán Augusto: 'Here in Chihuahua we are in charge, not a senator.' This generated a first annoyance at the National Palace, where they demand waiting for the federal definitions that will take place in the coming months for the 2027 elections. Anyway, it was not enough, and the opposition launched a series of criticisms against his performance. Since then, a series of controversies have occurred, to which are now added the complaints against Andrea Chávez for the use of a VIP beauty salon in the premises, which aggravates the distance between the former governor and the National Palace. The first, because they want each public figure to dedicate themselves to their respective public jobs; and the second, because they want to avoid images of rupture or internal divisions that weaken the president herself. Senator Andrea Chávez with one of the chic hairstyles she showed in the plenary session of the upper house. It is precisely this context that explains the new scandal that erupted this Wednesday in the Senate when Reforma revealed the operation of a VIP beauty salon that would have been hired by Andrea Chávez herself for the senators and senators. In this case, with the mayor of Ciudad Juárez, Cruz Pérez Cuéllar, who came out against Adán Augusto for having unveiled Andrea Chávez. 'The state is going to be painted pink,' he stated in another incident that also fell heavily in the Zócalo because they see it as a disregard for the timing that the leadership has already clarified on more than one occasion. All this tangle generated a new dispute. 'In Chihuahua we Chihuahuans are in charge, not a senator who doesn't vote here,' he fired and deepened an internal conflict that at the National Palace they seek to avoid for two reasons. 'We pay them to work, not to go get made up.' Desperate, Abraham demands that Andrea completely distance herself from Adán: 'He is going to sink us.' Despite attempts at damage control, the revelation generated a new crisis that hits Andrea Chávez, who is the one singled out for her presumed hiring. The president of the PRI, Alito Moreno, launched: 'Now it turns out that with your taxes they pay for the nails, the dye, and the styling. Just 48 hours after the Tabasco man announced his resignation, that desire was forgotten. Anyway, this Wednesday, Andrea Chávez herself on Radio Fórmula reiterated her intentions to run for office and advanced that Morena 'is going to win' the elections. To this is added, the sanitary trucks that she used to promote her image throughout the state before the legal times allowed it. First, Adán Augusto announces his departure from the legislative coordination to dedicate himself to the political and electoral operation in the fourth constituency. According to members of the majority faction consulted by LPO, in Adán Augusto's team they point to the National Palace itself for the leak as a payback for the tensions it generated and sparked in recent hours. The president of the upper house, Laura Itzel Castillo, tried to mitigate the effect of the news by assuring that its operation 'is nothing out of the ordinary' and that there is one equal in the Chamber of Deputies, where each person pays for the services they hire. For this, they ask to review the succession of events in the last 48 hours. For some sectors of the 4T, the departure of Adán Augusto from the coordination of Morena in the Senate was going to generate a period of calm within the 4T and in the upper house. 'It's all a matter of timing,' they repeat different figures of the majority faction in the Senate before the queries of LPO.
