In Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, a tense political scenario looms involving Mayor Eduardo Gattás. Recent revelations point to alleged misappropriations of resources in his administration totaling nearly 50 million pesos, which has prompted various power figures to question his continued position. Among those implicated in this scheme is the Deputy Secretary of the Interior, César Yáñez, who has been identified as part of a campaign to distance Gattás from his political boss.
According to government sources, Yáñez has influenced Rosa Icela, head of the Interior Department, to postpone the decision regarding Gattás until the next review of his accounts, in order to clarify the accusations against him. Governor Américo Villarreal, for his part, has expressed his intention to pressure from Bucareli for the mayor's dismissal, backed by Yáñez.
The plot thickens with the close relationship between Américo Villarreal and Jesús Ramírez Cuevas, presidential spokesperson, who previously held Yáñez's position. This network of influences and confrontations seems to be the backdrop of the struggle for power in Tamaulipas. Amid accusations and pressures, Gattás’ political future hangs by a thread, awaiting definitions in the coming weeks.
Tension intensifies with rumors of a possible arrest warrant that Interpol could issue against Américo Villarreal, adding more uncertainty to the political landscape in the region. In this context, a parallel story emerges in Mexico City that could shed light on the power dynamics at play. The role that Rosa Icela will assume amidst this web of conflicting interests remains an unknown that fuels speculation in all spheres of power in Tamaulipas.
