There was a confrontation between Cynthia López, former PRI senator, and Alessandra Rojo de la Vega, mayor of Cuauhtémoc. The tension between them escalated when López warned Rojo de la Vega that she would not have her support or that of Sánchez Barrios if she aspired to another three years in the mayor's office. Rojo de la Vega responded by calling López "traitor and liar." The opposition remains firm in their positions, not taking a step back.
The controversy escalated with the involvement of Santiago Taboada, former mayor of Benito Juárez, who still has influence in the area. One of his close associates, Bernardo Lartigue, was appointed Chief of Staff by Luis Mendoza. Lartigue, a supplier of the security camera system for C2 of Benito Juárez, has had lucrative business dealings in the mayor's office.
Álvarez's history was uncovered amidst a scandal. From his role as Head of Departmental Unit in Cuauhtémoc to his time as Director in Álvaro Obregón, he has been involved in allegations of corruption. Álvarez's appointment as deputy director of Works and Urban Development in Rojo de la Vega's administration has raised new questions, especially regarding the renewal of contracts related to the video surveillance system.
Political tensions continue, with López allying with Caty Monreal to pressure Rojo de la Vega. Past controversies involving Álvarez are mentioned, such as a tragedy at a construction site in Las Flores and Calzada Las Águilas. Additionally, doubts are raised about possible links with the Monreal family in this new appointment.
The cancellation of the press conference on Friday by Claudia Sheinbaum and her absence from some morning briefings in November due to international commitments added to an intense week where the Morena reform aimed at safeguarding its constitutional reforms was also criticized.
