On Thursday night, Roberto Velasco, temporarily in charge of the Foreign Ministry due to personal matters of Juan Ramón De la Fuente, hinted that the president had not yet given directives on the diplomatic future of Gertz. However, for the government, it was essential to oust the prosecutor due to the belief that he is directly responsible for the impunity that prevails in various aspects of public life. In fact, according to senators who spoke to this publication, the session initially called for 10 a.m. was delayed for hours until the formal departure of the prosecutor was made. The prosecutor, in turn, called various governors on Wednesday night to speak to them about the convenience of their senators not attending the plenary session. From the Palace, they chose their lobbyist, Adán Augusto López Hernández, to operate the exit of the Attorney General, perhaps under the logic that only an unavoidable actor of the hard obradorismo could operate against the ally of Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who did not even consider offering his resignation to Claudia Sheinbaum when she assumed the presidency more than a year ago. The coordinator of the senators proved to be an efficient articulator despite the coverage he received from Gertz regarding his repeated scandals, the most irritating being that of 'La Barredora'. More than one senator was surprised that, to force Gertz's exit, the coordinator, when committing to attend this Thursday, privately assured that Gertz could become a harmful element for the officialism itself, from the Palace to Palenque. A notion that was crystallized with the affair of businessman Raúl Rocha Cantú, who while being investigated for alleged ties to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, was walking the runways of the world representing Mexico. The leak of his judicial journey accelerated the prosecutor's downfall. An inescapable question: Does Adán Augusto's effort in the Senate enable him for new maneuvers, for example, influencing the future of the Secretariat of the Interior? A silent winner of the end of the prosecutor is the governor of Sonora, Alfonso Durazo, who aspires to land in Segob and had a bad relationship with Gertz. Other names that are repeated are those of Omar García Harfuch, the Undersecretary César Yáñez, or the governor of Hidalgo, Julio Menchaca, who also wants to leave the entity he governs. The government achieved a high-handicap triumph this Thursday because Alejandro Gertz Manero did not want to leave the Attorney General's Office. From the presidential perspective, all the information and intelligence obtained by Omar García Harfuch found its limits in the files of a Prosecutor's Office crossed by opaque interests: for nothing were several members of the internal control body removed months ago. Winning this game gives momentum to the president to make new adjustments in the cabinet and all eyes are on Bucareli. 'He didn't aspire to anything, only that Andrea be a candidate in Chihuahua,' he said to his second-in-command, Ignacio Mier, in recent days. Another enigma is whether, in effect, Gertz will be an ambassador.
