A special commission has been created in Mexico City to investigate political violence. The country's authorities are accusing opposition politicians of financing the unrest, while they deny the accusations and claim they are being politically persecuted.
On Tuesday, the parliamentary majority, known as the "4T," successfully approved the creation of a special commission. Its main task will be to monitor the investigations led by local prosecutor Bertha Alcalde. The commission will oversee inquiries initiated by the authorities to clarify possible responsibility for violent incidents, as well as the actions of the security forces, which left more than ten people injured.
According to the "4T," these opposition figures financed the groups that marched towards the National Palace. The authorities demand that they be investigated and that they step down from their positions to do so, which they all categorically deny.
The commission will be composed of representatives from various political forces, which will revive the tensions and polarization that have grown in recent days between the ruling coalition's factions, pointing the finger at Tabe, Rojo de la Vega, Betanzos, and Alito, while the PRI and PAN demand clarification on the political leaders who allegedly ordered the repression of the mobilization called by Generation Z.
The president of the commission will be Xóchitl Bravo, the coordinator of the "guinda" (Labor Party), and the vice president will be Manuel Talayero, a representative of the Green Party. Other members will include: Ernesto Villarreal from the PT; Royfid Torres from Movimiento Ciudadano; Tania Larios from the PRI; Nora Arias from the PRD; the morenista Alejandro Carabajal from the Parliamentary Association for Progressive Transformation; and finally, the officialist Diana Sánchez Barrios from the Parliamentary Association "Women for Feminist and Inclusive Commerce."
These investigations have already created images of tension between the ruling party and the opposition. The Secretary position will be the first key post for the opposition, which managed to place the PAN leader, Andrés Atayde.
The ruling party of CDMX continues its goal of investigating the alleged political and financial responsibility behind the violent mobilization of November 15, which took place in the capital's Zócalo. In response, the opposition is denouncing persecution against them, reviving tensions that could be further exacerbated in the run-up to the 2027 elections.
For example, the mayor of Cuauhtémoc, Alessandra Rojo de la Vega, was heckled by the "4T" faction during her last appearance before the local congress, while her counterpart from Miguel Hidalgo, Mauricio Tabe, decided not to appear at all, fearing similar scenes.
