The leave request of former local deputy Fernando Zárate has generated a series of unexpected events and tensions that the ruling party did not anticipate. As this editorial advanced, it has not yet been confirmed who will occupy his seat in the Palace of Donceles because his substitute, Ángel Tamariz, could continue to lead the ADIP, which has created a dilemma among different sectors and groups that reach the federal government. At least three sources from the capital government confirmed to LPO that the departure of Ángel Tamariz from the ADIP is not confirmed at this time. In any case, this resolution could be challenged by either of these two figures, a unlikely scenario but not ruled out. At the same time, Tamariz's arrival at the capital's Congress could begin to impact the 2027 elections in Álvaro Obregón, a mayor's office that Morena struggled to recover and where it cannot afford new problems in the run-up to the elections. As the ruling party recalls, in 2024 it was anticipated in that district that a position would be obtained to get to the local congress, which ultimately did not happen and generated tensions with the then local leadership of the 'guinda' party. If it is finally confirmed that Tamariz would assume legislative functions, the disputes would end, but this is not guaranteed. There are so many doubts that in recent hours, officialist sources confirmed to LPO, figures from the federal cabinet led by Claudia Sheinbaum have intervened in the negotiations. The director of the Public Digital Innovation Agency, Ángel Tamariz, could land at the Palace of Donceles. Again, this is not confirmed, and in this case, the dispute becomes more legal than political. Second, the cost and political repercussions it could have by being a man close to Head of Government Clara Brugada, with whom he strengthened his relationship during the 2024 campaign. Morena has a vacancy in Donceles, but Brugada doubts that Ángel Tamariz will assume it. Furthermore, sources from the Palace of Donceles warn that Ángel Tamariz would look favorably on leaving the direction of the Public Digital Innovation Agency to jump to the Legislative Power to begin building a political career in the Álvaro Obregón mayor's office, especially in District 32. The local administration headed by Javier López Casarín is going through a series of political problems that some groups seek to take advantage of. At this point, the consideration that would be given to the Code of Institutions and Electoral Procedures of Mexico City comes into play, which would be the area that would define the succession of Zárate in case Tamariz does not take it. At that time, they recall in the Zócalo, there were no major problems because it was for a short time and the move was consensus among the different parties. This scenario, in turn, generates another problem: Who would take over if it is not him? As LPO advanced, some sectors of the officialism are advancing that it could be the federal secretary of communication of Morena, Camila Martínez, who could rise in the list and occupy the seat. In this game, for example, Marcelo Ebrard also appears, who promoted the current mayor, the very Fernando Zárate who would still hold the leadership of the bench because he requested 'leave' and did not present a resignation, and Rosario Morales, who won in District 32. The PAN deepens its complaints against the consultations for the PGD promoted by Morena. In this way, Fernando Zárate's leave request awakened a problem that, for now, the officialism does not resolve. The scenario is very different from that of December 2024, when Zárate himself requested leave for a few days and Tamariz himself took over on an interim basis to vote in favor of the appointment of Bertha Alcalde as general prosecutor of the capital. For this, they warn in the Zócalo, two conflicts would have to be resolved. At the same time, other sectors argue that it should be Pablo Hernández, who competed in 2024 for District 17 of Benito Juárez since, they explain, a man should be replaced by another man. First, his own substitute because it is a technical position linked to technology, an area where the officialism does not lack profiles. Now the context is different, with new disputes, old rivalries that are blooming again, and a future that is not confirmed. This is why, as detailed by LPO, the legal counselor of the CDMX, Eréndira Cruzvillegas, is studying the legal framework in coordination with the coordinator of the 'guinda' bench in Donceles, Xóchitl Bravo. Among them, for example, the Batres family since the deputy Valentina Batres aspires to govern it.
