After a process that initially encountered more obstacles than expected, the Congress of Mexico City confirmed María Dolores González Saravia Calderón as the new head of the Human Rights Commission of the national capital for the 2025-2029 term. In this way, the sister of the Governor of Morelos, Margarita Saravia, will succeed Nashieli Ramírez, the new Comptroller of Mexico City. As reported by LPO, María Dolores González Saravia was the frontrunner for the position from the very beginning. "Her independence is not negotiable; it is the essence that gives her credibility," she emphasized. With a similar project, Brugada congratulated Zohran Mamdani on his victory in New York. Meanwhile, Head of Government Clara Brugada celebrated her appointment on social media, where she posted: "I congratulate María Dolores González Saravia, who was elected as President of the Human Rights Commission of Mexico City by the local Congress. However, tensions arose during the process because some sectors of Morena simultaneously pushed for Ángela Guerrero Alcántara. Likewise, the ruling party assured that she will be a guarantee for indigenous peoples, the LGBTQ+ community, women, and the working class in upholding their rights. For her part, the PAN deputy and vice president of the board, Olivia Garza, stated that the Human Rights Commission must not "serve a government, but the people" as it "must not align with an ideology, but guarantee the rights of all, especially those with the least." Respect and promotion of Human Rights are one of the hallmarks of the Capital of Transformation."
