The authorities of Monterrey seek to avoid conflicts in case Karina Barrón is released from legal responsibility, and also do not want to prematurely intensify the struggle for the position of Secretary of Human Development within the municipality. In this regard, the National Action Party (PAN) is intensifying its internal struggle to control this position. According to LPO, with the aim of managing part of the social programs, the leaders of PAN are already considering the current head of the Institute for Women of Nuevo León, Wendy Cordero, for the post. The party insists on using any opportunity to strengthen its positions in the government of Adrián de la Garza, and moreover, Cordero is an important asset to win a seat in the local congress for the 2027 elections. On the other hand, a replacement is also being discussed for the position held by Francisco Cienfuegos: Lorena de la Garza could arrive to manage social programs and go beyond her current District 8 to carry out eventual promotion with a view to becoming his successor in Monterrey. However, sources close to the Crystal Palace (Palacio de Cristal) suggest that the mayor's message was not to anticipate the judgment of Karina Barrón. After Karina Barrón's arrest, the atmosphere in the Crystal Palace remains tense. There is no support for the former PRI deputy, and there is a belief that she could be linked to the process next Saturday, which would mean her separation from her post for a longer period.
