Internal conflicts in the IMSS and the Green Party

In the first month of 2025, the federal government in Mexico is shaken by internal disputes, one of the most prominent being that which takes place in the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS). In this scenario, Zoé Robledo, the current director of the IMSS, remains firm in his position despite rumors pointing to his possible departure.

Sources from the IMSS claim that Robledo will stay in his position for some more time and that his permanence is not in danger. From his team, they point out that the Green Party is promoting versions about his departure so that Manuel Velasco, the current coordinator of the ecologist bench in the Senate, can replace him. This way, conflicts between Chiapas leaders and political and electoral disputes between Morena and the Green Party are evident.

Robledo and Velasco star in a historic dispute that developed in the politics of Chiapas. Despite Robledo's attempts to govern the state, Velasco remained in power. These tensions grow and remain present from different spheres of the federal government, generating an atmosphere of uncertainty.

The disputes intensify with decisions such as the limit on re-elections in public positions and the elimination of plurinominal candidacies in the legislative sphere. Despite the efforts of Sheinbaum and the pressures from the White House to impose tariffs, the power struggle continues among the protagonists involved in this complex web of Mexican politics.
