Local deputy of Mexico City, Fernando Zárate, requested a leave of absence from his post this Wednesday to take on new tasks in the federal government. According to his explanation, the mission requires his "full dedication." His possible arrival at Donceles could open a door for him to play a more prominent political role, considering that the ADIP is an organization with low public visibility in Mexico City and is too technical to gain political ground. In this scenario, what was initially thought to be a simple leave of absence for a local deputy has generated an unexpected problem in the capital's government, which the ruling party is now trying to solve with at least two possibilities: Ángel Tamariz or Camila Martínez. However, his departure, which will take effect on March 14, has caused a headache within Morena because the head of government, Clara Brugada, doubts that her seat in the Congress will be taken by her substitute, the current director of the Public Innovation Digital Agency (ADIP), Ángel Tamariz. This path is more complex because it would require Zárate's exit, Tamariz's refusal to leave his current functions and not take up his post in Congress, and to go through the legislative list that Morena presented in the 2024 elections. The same was approved by a majority, with votes from both the ruling party and the opposition. The greatest fear, recognized by official sources, is the possibility of losing said seat due to the impossibility of appointing a substitute figure. The coordinator of the Citizen Movement, Royfid Torres, thanked him for the work done during the current Legislature. Brugada reinforces social programs and announces a reform to shield social spending. However, in just a few hours, the excitement of his announcement gave way to uncertainty within the ruling party. In the 4T, they ensure that the future of the Morena councilor, Javier López Casarín, is not secure, and there are no few political groups that aspire to that position. Therefore, the probable arrival of Camila Martínez is being studied in the Zócalo offices with some speed to take advantage of the recess that the Palace of Donceles will have during these long holiday days. Ballesteros comes out to compete in the CDMX: "I want to be on the ballot." On the other hand, this movement that has not yet been defined could impact the future of the Álvaro Obregón mayor's office. The local deputy of Mexico City, Fernando Zárate, requested, this Wednesday, a leave of absence from his post to assume new tasks in the federal government. According to him, the mission requires his "full dedication." His possible arrival at Donceles could open a door for him to play with greater force, considering that the ADIP is an organization of low public profile in CDMX and too technical to gain political ground. With this scenario, what was at one point thought to be a simple leave of absence of a local deputy generated an unexpected problem in the capital government that the ruling party now seeks to solve with at least two possibilities: Ángel Tamariz or Camila Martínez. Faced with this scenario, his substitute should take over, in this case Ángel Tamariz, but Clara Brugada does not view this possible change with the best eyes. Among them, the very Ángel Tamariz, who was mentioned—more than once—in internal cabinet meetings as a possible candidate in the demarcation, both for the Executive and Legislative branches. In this way, the 'guinda' party could gain a new young voice in the capital Congress and also close to the Head of State, Claudia Sheinbaum. In the recent elections, the young 4T leader competed for the local District 18, which includes part of Álvaro Obregón and Benito Juárez. At least three official sources recognized off the microphone that the legal advisor of the CDMX, Eréndira Cruzvillegas, is working on the legal framework of this possible change because Fernando Zárate requested a "leave" from his post, that is, he did not resign. "There is no one," repeat various sources of the 'guinda' party when consulted by LPO. In this way, the Morena parliamentary group is already studying another possibility. "When the homeland calls, one must heed the call," he assured. The now future federal official received recognition from various figures of the 4T and even from sectors of the opposition.
