The president stated that Jesús is working with us and does not need to resign. She addressed the issue during her morning conference at the National Palace. "He is a man of principles and continues to collaborate with us," she said. Rumors about the departure of one of the closest men to former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador began after the publication of a new book by former legal advisor Julio Scherer, which dedicates a chapter to accusing him of promoting a presidential decree that would have affected the treasury by at least 27 billion pesos. There is concern in the Palace over Jesús Ramírez, and they are already thinking of an "elegant exit." Other news affecting the presidential spokesperson has also emerged, such as a report revealing the real estate business of journalist Alejandro Páez Varela, a supporter of the official party. It was also made public that Ramírez may have been involved in the promotion of Sergio Carmona, the controversial businessman executed in Nuevo León. Amid a series of accusations against the presidential spokesperson, Jesús Ramírez, Claudia Sheinbaum showed her support this Tuesday and assured that he remains part of her cabinet. "As I have said many times, I have known Jesús since we were together in the Movement, well, even before the Movement, when I was at the Faculty of Sciences and he was at CCH Naucalpan," she said. "We kept him at the Palace at his request, but it is time," a collaborator of the new team admitted to LPO, as reported in another publication. Carmona is just the tip of the iceberg that is still being investigated in the United States: the alleged illegal financing mechanisms for Morena's campaigns. With these precedents, tension is beginning to grow in the 4T.
