It was no accident, but the result of combining prevention, intelligence, and social proximity. The Senate is advancing the succession in the Attorney General's Office, and this Thursday it could confirm Ernestina Godoy. Senators from Morena told this newsroom that President Claudia Sheinbaum, in addition to promoting Godoy to the FGR, would have also extended an invitation to Zaldívar to become her new Legal Advisor, even though there are some in the Cabinet who prefer Arturo Medina and even the return of some official from former President López Obrador. On the other hand, in the majority faction of the upper house, there is a version of the support from President Minister Hugo Aguilar and Minister Lenia Batres for Zaldívar to lead the strategy and loyal defense of the Presidency. After being named as the acting head by Alejandro Gertz Manero, the former Legal Advisor of the Presidency until this Sunday began the move. Although President Claudia Sheinbaum has not yet defined the shortlist that will be voted on in the Plenary Session of the Senate of the Republic, Godoy Ramos passed the filter of the 43 applicants and now continues among the 10 finalists, along with other Morena members (such as Hamlet Almaguer). The absence of Arturo Zaldívar, former minister of the Supreme Court of Justice and General Coordinator of Policy and Government of the Presidency, as well as Arturo Medina, Undersecretary of Human Rights, Population and Migration, and former fiscal prosecutor, was highlighted. "Mexico does not need strident speeches or speeches of fear, but institutions that work, authorities that cooperate, and a strategy that addresses the causes, investigates with rigor, and bets on justice." Aguilar, as is known, bowing to the wishes of the Palace, while Batres Guadarrama consolidating her alliance with Arturo Zaldívar. That alliance was born after she leaked an internal investigation by the Judiciary Branch against Norma Piña in Zaldívar, which was condemned by Lenia Batres, and deepened after the attempt to arrest the former governor of Chihuahua Javier Corral in Mexico City in 2024, when Ulises Lara saved him from the officers sent by Maru Campos. Ernestina Godoy is taking her closest team to the Attorney General's Office of the Republic. Under the leadership of President Claudia Sheinbaum, the construction of peace is consolidated. This was assured this Tuesday by Zaldívar in his column for the newspaper Milenio, where he highlighted the experience of Mexico City as "illustrative". That is the project underway. "Coordination has made it possible to reduce intentional homicides and extortions, and to dismantle gangs that had been operating for years."
