In recent minutes, the Mexican Senate has secured the necessary 66 senatorial votes to initiate the process for the resignation of Attorney General Alejandro Gertz Manero. However, as of now, no documents have been received by the Senate confirming the departure of the top prosecutor, who is an ally of former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. LPO had previously reported the government's intention to call senators to discuss the future of the Prosecutor's Office. Several senators from the MORENA party were reluctant to attend, but strong pressures were exerted on them during Wednesday afternoon and evening. The ruling party's senatorial bloc is now ready to hold a session. A group of senators was even recalled from a trip they had to China. Within the party faction, it is mentioned that Gertz is leaving the Prosecutor's Office due to discontent in the Presidential Palace over the slow progress on certain cases related to the connection between organized crime and political sectors.
