Controversial Nominees for Anti-Corruption Prosecutor in CDMX

On February 5, the Chamber of Deputies of Mexico City will receive candidates to lead the Anti-Corruption Attorney General's Office. The appointment promises controversy. The head of government, Claudia Sheinbaum, sparked some uproar by mentioning that Sinaloa shrimp surpass Ecuadorian shrimp in flavor. In another sphere, Norma Piña, president of the SCJN, will not participate in the commemorative events of the Mexican Constitution in Querétaro, making it clear that she "is not invited."

Piña's figure has been associated with accusations of corruption and harassment, as well as the alleged acceptance of payments by public officials under investigation to obstruct processes against her. At the National Palace, there is surprise at her intention to attend an event she was not summoned to, especially considering her allegations. In light of this, it is questioned whether the confrontation with the Executive will persist or if it is simply another chapter of internal tensions.

On the other hand, Pablo Iglesias, former Vice President of Spain, plans to expand his communication projects in America following political changes in Europe. His arrival in Mexico aims to promote initiatives backed by the local left through considerable investment to establish studios and offices in Mexico City, thus displacing old communication models.

Regarding Sheinbaum's situation, her position on measures taken by other leaders is highlighted, such as Ecuador imposing tariffs on Mexican products. The consistency in management is questioned, observing a possible lack of transparency in decisions related to corruption. The election to head the Anti-Corruption Attorney General's Office is also under scrutiny, with doubts about the integrity of the candidates.

In this scenario, Gerardo Huerta Alcalá, current head of the Internal Affairs Unit of the FGJ-CDMX, stands out among the potential finalists. His presence among the candidates raises questions about the suitability and transparency in the selection process for such a significant position amid a context marked by corruption and political influence in institutions.
