In the coming hours, Claudia Sheinbaum is expected to submit a list of ten names from which she will select a final shortlist of three. It is anticipated that the current interim prosecutor, Ernestina Godoy, will be among them and could be confirmed as the new Attorney General this Thursday. Following Gertz's departure, the Prosecutor's Office is expediting accusations against a company linked to Octavio Romero and Alito. Among the final names are, for example, academic Luis Pérez de Acha; former legal advisor to the PRI's administrations in the State of Mexico, Luz María Zarza Delgado; renowned 4T opposition lawyer Alfredo Barrera Flores; recent candidate for Judge of Penal Sanctions Execution in CDMX, Maribel Bojorges Beltrán; the Veracruzana Sandra Luz González Mogollón; Morena's national advisor Hamlet García Almaguer; Head of the Department Unit at the University of the Police of CDMX, Mirna Lucía Grande Hernández; the lawyer who worked as Secretary of Security for Coyuca de Benítez, David Borja Padilla; and the Querétaro native Miguel Nava Alvarado. Additionally, the list sent to the head of state includes the favorite for the post: Ernestina Godoy. The current interim prosecutor, who took the position in the final hours of Gertz Manero's tenure, served as the CDMX Attorney General during Claudia Sheinbaum's term as Head of Government and then-Secretary of Security Omar García Harfuch. The same sources who anticipate that the Prosecutor's Office could be appointed this Thursday also state that Gertz Manero could be named ambassador this Friday to put an end to the controversy this move has caused within the federal government. The same candidates could be put to a vote this very Thursday with a clear and strong favoritism towards Ernestina Godoy, who is set to be the legal and constitutional successor to Alejandro Gertz Manero, who will accept a posting as ambassador to a "friendly country" of Mexico. The opposition is promoting a Gómez Fierro associate and demands that Adán not archive the Raúl Rocha case at the FGR. Despite the favoritism enjoyed by Ernestina Godoy, within the 4T they are calling to be attentive to the names that will also make up the final shortlist, as they could be official figures who will eventually receive a compensatory post, that is, an "operative stitch." In this way, the government of Claudia Sheinbaum seeks to bring to an end the controversy that erupted last week and to accelerate the work of the Public Ministry to strengthen the fight against insecurity and organized crime. Following the controversial resignation of Alejandro Gertz Manero from the Attorney General's Office, the Senate is rapidly moving forward with the succession process to confirm the new person in charge. This Tuesday, the Political Coordination Board (Jucopo) defined a list of ten final candidacies, which has already been sent to Claudia Sheinbaum for the head of state to return a shortlist of three finalists, among whom Ernestina Godoy is expected to be to be appointed by the upper house this Thursday. Sources in the Senate have told LPO that the intention of the ruling party is to move forward as quickly as possible with this process so as not to hinder current investigations and not create short circuits within one of the most important offices of the federal government. Over those years, they forged a deep relationship and coordinated work that, now, federal government sources anticipate the head of state would seek to replicate to reduce the crime rate nationwide. In CDMX, Omar García Harfuch and Ernestina Godoy formed a strong working duo in the fight against crime. Sources in the Senate have told LPO that it is expected that in the coming hours Sheinbaum will analyze the list of the ten final names and send a new list to the upper house with three final options. For now, his destination is unknown to the ruling party as several countries are named as possible destinations, such as Germany or England. In this way, the ruling party seeks to act swiftly to conclude two important and related processes. On the one hand, the appointment of the new head of the FGR and the future as ambassador for Alejandro Gertz Manero. This maneuver is usually normal in the ruling party, which provides new opportunities and posts to those names that have not achieved their objective in participating in a process of this type. Furthermore, this same week the appointment of the now former prosecutor as a diplomat could also be dealt with.
