On Wednesday, it was said in the Presidential Palace that, regarding the Rocha Cantú issue, Francisco Cervantes is now vetoed from the cabinet. Questions that have animated various discussions in the government's galaxy in recent hours: Where is Rocha Cantú at this moment? Is he still in Mexico? Is he in hiding? Will he continue to be a collaborating witness with Ernestina Godoy at the FGR? Alongside these enigmas, those close to Gertz assure that he has already hired a public relations agent in the United States who would be ready to feed the press of that country with explosive stories from the previous six-year term. Rocha's words touched a very sensitive nerve in Chiapas, which began with Gertz's departure and whose end is unthinkable. The former Attorney General, Alejandro Gertz Manero, is waiting for the Senate to vote on his confirmation as ambassador to Germany, a country where he wants to reside for family reasons. Gertz was expecting a call to attend on Wednesday or Thursday and be quickly confirmed for his diplomatic post. But the call did not come. The now former prosecutor is wounded. He did not want to give up his position, especially after the work it took to generate a good relationship with Washington and, at the same time, be able to coexist with Omar García Harfuch. In his circle, they have a univocal narrative of what happened: his departure was not orchestrated in the Presidential Palace, but in Palenque and is directly tied to the Raúl Rocha Cantú affair. Under this logic, the businessman's statement as a collaborating witness would have been explosive, especially regarding electoral financing.
