Head of Government Clara Brugada is already working on the appointment of the figure who will succeed her in the expanded cabinet, a name that is kept anonymous for now. This news outlet reported that Ángel Tamariz would occupy the seat left vacant by Fernando Zárate, who has already assumed his new duties at the Federal Health Secretariat. 'In this collective project, where dialogue and teamwork are fundamental, your experience and convictions will be key to continue building a Mexico City that is more just, inclusive, and with well-being for all,' added the deputy from Tlalpan. In this way, the ruling coalition faces two challenges. Before joining the ADIP, Tamariz had worked politically in the Álvaro Obregón mayor's office, where he sought a local deputyship, but ultimately received the suppléance of Fernando Zárate. As a result, it was believed that Camila Martínez or Pablo Hernández could be appointed, but a series of legal disputes that would arise in this scenario tipped the scales in favor of Tamariz. Brugada inaugurated the first of the 100 Utopies she promised in Mexico City. Following this, on Monday, the newly-minted deputy attended his first session as a full-fledged deputy for Mexico City under the ruling alliance during the awarding of medals for various merits among the local citizenry. With these precedents, some sectors in the 4T anticipate that the new deputy could return to work in the district governed by Morena's Javier López Casarín, where various groups aspire to the different popularly elected positions that will be at stake in 2027. The first and most urgent will be the succession to Tamariz at the head of the ADIP, as no public official can hold two tasks at the same time. As detailed by LPO, the scenario for his succession was defined last week. From the outset, his appointment was analyzed, but his departure from the expanded cabinet was not well-received by Clara Brugada herself. For the moment, sources from the capital's Zócalo have acknowledged that there are no strong names on the agenda, but it is expected that Clara Brugada will reveal the mystery in the coming days. The task, they anticipate, will not be easy, considering the technical level required by the position and that the person who occupies it must generate rapid responses and results because the World Cup is approaching, which will demand actions and results from all state agencies in the capital. The World Cup accelerates the increase in rents and Sánchez Barrios seeks to regulate Airbnb. The second challenge could last longer as it is political in nature. Sources from the guinda parliamentary group assured LPO that during the pre-meeting that the ruling coalition always holds on the second floor of the Palace of Donceles, the current figures that make up the parliamentary group received him without major discussions or questions, with the objective of finalizing the novel that formed in recent days and returning to work with emphasis on the agenda promoted by Clara Brugada. On Monday, Ángel Tamariz assumed his new tasks as a local deputy for Mexico City. The coordinator of Morena, Xóchitl Bravo, welcomed him before the plenary, where she anticipated that the new legislator 'will bring a strong and fresh voice, committed to the people's causes and the transformation of the City.' However, in the ruling coalition, they highlight a factor that should not go unnoticed amidst potential tensions: Tamariz forged a close and fluid relationship with Clara Brugada, which could give him an edge in negotiations. As this outlet reported exclusively, on Monday, the director of the Mexico City Digital Innovation Agency (ADIP), Ángel Tamariz, assumed as his suppléance and, in this way, will occupy said legislative seat until the current Legislature ends in 2027. The novel over the succession of Fernando Zárate at the Palace of Donceles has come to an end.
