In the next week, the corresponding commissions could start the interview process with the different candidates for the key appointment in the Judiciary of the capital. However, the necessary votes are not yet secured, keeping the scenario in suspense until the ruling party manages to achieve a unified position and guarantees the votes to move forward.
The final shortlist for the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office has not reached a consensus and could fall apart in the coming weeks. Recently, the Palace of Donceles received the shortlist chosen by the Citizen Judicial Council, made up of three candidates to lead the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office and the Electoral Crimes Prosecutor's Office. These candidates must be voted on by the full Palace of Donceles, but the votes are not guaranteed due to internal disputes.
One source from the capital Congress highlighted that the individuals on the shortlist do not have close ties to the team or the judicial program led by Attorney General Bertha Alcalde. The lack of coordination between the teams creates inconsistencies that hinder the appointment process.
Despite receiving the shortlists, Congress still lacks the necessary votes to advance in the appointments of the specialized prosecutors in Mexico City. No clear instructions have been received from the old City Hall, complicating the current landscape.
This situation is worsened by the lack of internal definitions within the ruling party, which has yet to reach a consensus on the candidates. The change in the Judiciary following Bertha Alcalde's arrival at the Attorney General's Office also influences the current situation.
The individuals proposed for the positions are Luz Adriana Mercedes Greaves Muñoz, José Gerardo Huerta Alcalá, and César Silva Mejía. However, the lack of internal consensus among the different official power groups is delaying the definition process in Congress, creating additional tension amid this uncertain scenario.
