Political Scandal in Guerrero: Mexico City Secretary Displeases Local Authorities

The political activities of the Mexico City Secretary of Mobility in the state of Guerrero have caused a significant internal conflict within the ruling party. Guerrero's authorities and local Morena leaders have condemned the secretary's visits, which they see as interference in the state's internal affairs and an attempt to influence the upcoming 2027 elections.


Political Scandal in Guerrero: Mexico City Secretary Displeases Local Authorities

The Secretary of Mobility for Mexico City, Héctor Ulises García Nieto, has begun political activities in the state of Guerrero, which has displeased local capital figures. This scenario, with just over a year until the midterm elections, is intensifying internal disputes in Guerrero, and they are expected to escalate. "We are with the people," added García Nieto. The national project led by our president, Claudia Sheinbaum, calls on us to organize and continue transforming Mexico and Guerrero. Popular support must be translated into actions. In this context, his visits to the coast have not had the best reception in Chilpancingo, where they view his arrival unfavorably at a time when the internal struggle for the 2027 elections deepens. As detailed by LPO, the succession in Guerrero promises to be one of the most tense for the ruling party, as the strongest candidate, Félix Salgado, cannot compete because he is the father of the current governor, Evelyn Salgado. Second, in Guerrero, they are already pointing to the CDMX, considering that the Secretary of Mobility cannot go to another entity to do politics without, at a minimum, the approval of the head of government. The governors of the 4T support the recall in 2027 but demand to control their successors. Additionally, in the national capital, the mobility problems are not few. However, in recent days, he has extended his work and begun political tours in Guerrero, where next year the succession of the current governor, Evelyn Salgado, will be decided. "Guerrero was not built from opportunism or personal calculation," he added. The controversy that arose this weekend is set to grow for two reasons. Unity and work from the grassroots. #SegundoPisoDeLaTransformación. In turn, on Tuesday, the president of the State Council, Marcia Elsa Valencia Guzmán, came out to counter, issuing a communique through which she demanded the head of Government of the capital, Clara Brugada, to "review the performance of her officials" since "it is incredible that someone who does not live in Guerrero comes as if it were a fiefdom to say who can or cannot represent the movement." In this framework, last weekend Héctor Ulises led a series of meetings presenting himself as the state coordinator of the organization 'Building the Second Floor of the Fourth Transformation,' which ensures it represents President Claudia Sheinbaum. In the last meeting, which also included the General Coordinator of Human Capital of the CDMX, José Carlos Acosta, the Secretary of Mobility added to said organization former opposition figures, such as the interim governor, Rogelio Ortega Martínez, and the former PRI mayor of the capital, Marco Antonio Leyva Mena. Since 2024, Héctor Ulises García Nieto has been the Secretary of Mobility of Mexico City. "We are not judges to determine if people decide to fight on someone else's side or not," he went on. This event and these statements fell very badly in Guerrero. In the controversy, Senator Beatriz Mojica is also pointed out, who has differences with the Salgado family but is one of the favorites to compete in 2027. Arising from what happened this weekend, sectors linked to the local ruling party pointed to other figures of the 4T, such as the director of Fonatur, Sebastián Ramírez, or the federal deputy who aspires to govern Acapulco, Irugami Perea, who maintain a close relationship with the president. The first, García Nieto responded to Jacinto González, to whom he recommended "control your advisors because there is a large number who ask for your resignation" and emphasized that if he wants to debate, "present proposals" for the state. In recent weeks, protests against the construction of Line 5 of the Cablebús in Álvaro Obregón have grown, and problems related to this same theme still persist in Milpa Alta. We tour the state, we do not hold coffee meetings or in large hotels. The president of the local Morena committee, Jacinto González, stated that said meeting "was not of Morena" and assured that "you cannot use the name of the Doctor (Claudia Sheinbaum) to make internal pressures." "If people who were in another option decide to join, welcome," assured García Nieto, who maintained that the 4T "has no right of admission." "It is judged lightly." This has generated a scenario of uncertainty, where various sectors seek to lead the ticket.
