In Mexico City, for example, tension has begun to build in the Congress due to the attempts of the mayor of Gustavo A. Madero, Janecarlo Lozano, to have his brother Cristofer Lozano elected as a local deputy in the next elections. Despite the fact that there are still almost two years until the 2027 elections, there are already electoral movements within the ruling party that are beginning to cause discontent within Morena. The 'pink' ballot cost harsh and important agreements, which could be broken in the next elections due to the mayor's ambitions to get his brother into the Palace of Donceles. Brugada advances with the 'Utopias' and inaugurated works in Tláhuac. Sources from the mayor's office and the local Congress report that the Morena mayor is already working to position his brother Cristofer Lozano. Despite this, the mayor continues with his intentions. The second problem is that the power quotas of the mayor's office are already distributed among the different groups that hold power and have electoral and territorial capacity, so a change in this distribution could affect Morena's electoral participation in 2027. A move that could clash with the anti-nepotism precepts of the 4T and disrupt the agreements in the demarcation. As reported by LPO during last year's electoral process, in the country's second most populous borough there was a lot of tension over defining its candidacy. Finally, the chosen one was then-local deputy Janecarlo Lozano, who managed to prevail over the precepts of his predecessor, Francisco Chíguil, with whom he maintains important distances. The first is the crusade against nepotism promoted by Head of Government Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, who even made it federal law. The same law, it is true, will come into force in 2030, but the leader of Morena, Luisa María Alcalde, has already announced that they will not allow family candidacies in the midterm elections. As explained in Donceles, the space that the mayor might have in mind for his brother would be District 4, which is already occupied by local deputy Ana Buendía García, who answers to former mayor Nazario Norberto Sánchez. The PAN now announces thematic forums: 'We want CDMX to do better'. In this way, Janecarlo Lozano's intentions to make his brother a local deputy and, in this way, gain more power within the 4T to think about his political future could generate internal short circuits of unknown consequences because it could affect a tense status quo that cost the ruling party quite a bit to achieve. However, his move faces two serious problems.
