Claudia Sheinbaum dismissed the possibility of offering an embassy to Adán Augusto López after his resignation as Senate coordinator, as she stated that the senator decided to accept an invitation from Morena to work on territorial issues. "It's his decision, and he will always help," added the president from the Cineteca Chapultepec, where today she held her morning press conference and inaugurated the final stretch of the Insurgent Train, which connects CDMX with Toluca. Palacio failed to secure a European embassy for Adán, and Claudia sends him to work on the elections in CDMX. López Hernández's departure comes amid major scandals and links to criminal organizations at a time of high tension in trade negotiations with the United States government, which unofficially, it is reported, has its sights set on politicians linked to drug trafficking. In this context, the departure of the politician, who was one of the main political operators for former president Andrés Manuel López Obrador, was already expected. A year ago, it was already speculated that he might leave for some embassy. As LPO explained in a previous publication, since December the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE) had managed the possibility of the senator landing in a European embassy, however, they did not get a response in time, which would have been the main reason for him to accept staying as an operator in Mexico City without losing his seat or his privilege in the Chamber of Deputies. "We knew he was going to integrate into the territorial work of Morena." "He made the decision and the party invited him. That's what he informed us," the president informed when questioned by a reporter at her morning press conference this Monday if she considered offering him an embassy. Sheinbaum also explained that a few days ago, López Hernández had informed the head of the Secretariat of the Interior (Segob) of his decision to leave the coordination, which will now be in charge of Ignacio Mier.
