The current Secretary of Citizen Participation of the capital's government has become one of the closest figures to Clara Brugada, who would not object to entrusting him with the same task he held in the past to operate the 2027 elections. At least two sources close to the head of government, Clara Brugada, told LPO that the former mayor seeks to remove Héctor Díaz-Polanco from the local structure and is already analyzing a series of names to lead the 'morada' party for the 2027 elections. The arrival of the former local deputy at the local leadership was due, as this editorial detailed at the time, more to an agreement among the various sectors that vied for the succession of Sebastián Ramírez due to the lack of agreements, than to a concrete push from the party bases. Within the 4T, it is highlighted that he comes from the hardest sectors of the 'morada' party and has a long political career, which began during his militancy in the university. The president of Morena CDMX, Héctor Díaz-Polanco, could leave his post in the coming weeks. The second name already has experience leading Morena: Tomás Pliego. The young leader from Coyoacán is close to the last president of Morena, Sebastián Ramírez, so he could have the knowledge to take on the task. Over a year after achieving the capital's presidency, this unity seems to be cracking. He is a man who has his own structure in various municipalities and knows the electoral machinery of CDMX. The first of them is Gerardo Trejo, who was elected secretary of organization of Morena, but in recent months has requested a leave of absence to carry out tasks at the national level in coordination with Andy López Beltrán. In addition, he has one of the most active voices in the Legislative Power, in the media, and in discussions with the opposition, especially with the PAN. Esthela Damián is considering requesting a leave of absence to go to Guerrero and Luisa María could succeed her. At the same time, the same sources agree that the head of government, Clara Brugada, would seek to make these changes with a certain speed to begin working on the electoral operation for 2027 without major delays. Amid the pressures arising from the possible departure of Luisa María Alcalde from the federal presidency, movements are also occurring in Mexico City. Because of this, Brugada would be determined to modify the presidency of the local committee of the 'morada' party. Likewise, the same sources anticipate that the head of government is already analyzing a series of names to promote a possible change in the party presidency. In response to this, sources with offices in the Zócalo capitalino told LPO that the head of government, Clara Brugada, seeks to take advantage of national movements to remove the capital structure. Brugada reinforces the fight against extortion and announces changes to the penal code. This would be due, they explain off the microphone, to the lack of presence in the capital's municipalities, to certain tensions in the bilateral relationship between the former deputy and the former mayor of Iztapalapa, and mainly due to the poor operation for the 2027 elections and the lack of dialogue with the PVEM and PT, which has generated political and legislative problems in the Palace of Donceles. Furthermore, his undersecretary is Ángel Sánchez, another figure of maximum confidence from the head of government, so his succession could be resolved with relative ease. Finally, another name that appears on the list is that of the local deputy and spokesperson for the Morena parliamentary group, Paulo García. Next year, the 4T will be at stake with the 11 municipalities it governs out of the 16 that exist in the capital and the absolute majority it achieved in the Palace of Donceles, two facts that give it great power over a weakened opposition that sees the next elections as an opportunity to snatch influence from Morena and begin to weave the path towards 2030. The national leadership of Morena is not the only one going through moments of tension and uncertainty.
