Mexican Mayor and Deputy Exchange Threat Accusations

In recent hours, both figures have crossed paths again, but this time over an issue that raises alarms as the councilwoman denounced that the legislator allegedly threatened a woman's life on social media. Hours later, the federal deputy responded to the accusations via social media, where he denounced a "setup" against him. "I ask you again, instead of setting up crimes, get to work," added Arturo Ávila, who demanded that the Prosecutor's Office determine the responsibilities of the complaint filed against him because "this person has given false statements to the authorities." Meanwhile, the Morena member denounced a "setup" against him. The new controversy began this Monday, when Rojo de la Vega reported that a woman identified as Ana Pat Arteaga Massieu filed a complaint with the Prosecutor's General Office of the capital against the deputy for a death threat that would have been sent from the legislator's X account, which read: "I'm going to kill you with my own hands." As reported by LPO, in recent weeks Ávila launched a series of criticisms and positions against the mayor, leading some figures from the 4T to believe he might compete for the district in the 2027 elections instead of seeking the governorship of Aguascalientes, as was planned until recently. In turn, Rojo de la Vega responded: "The Prosecutor's Office will determine what is to be done with the complaint that another woman filed against you." "His death threats against a woman @anapatam_mx must be punished, especially now, in a country that bleeds every day." "I will continue to do what you do not: work every day so that Mexico leaves violence behind and becomes a country of full rights and freedoms," she added. Rojo de la Vega crossed Arturo Ávila: "He is an inconsistent and manipulative person." In this way, the controversies starring both figures from the opposition and the ruling party deepen day by day as the 2027 elections approach. "It's a disgrace that these kinds of characters even have a public space," she added. Rojo de la Vega defended her administration, which generated a new clash between the opposition and the ruling party in the upcoming elections. "Behind this there is money to try to attack our movement, but they were so absurd and clumsy that they messed up," she fired. The tension between the mayor of Cuauhtémoc, Alessandra Rojo de la Vega, and the Morena spokesperson in the Chamber of Deputies, Arturo Ávila, continues and deepens day by day. According to her, the timeline of the messages does not coincide with the times and hours of the complaint, which she linked to the criticisms she made against the local government in recent weeks and that, as LPO anticipated, could position him to compete for the district in 2027. "We don't set up things like you, we don't lie, we don't threaten people." In this regard, the councilwoman demanded the "immediate resignation" of the Morena member, whom she accused of "soiling the honorability of public office." "That's enough!"
