Local PRI deputy Lorena de la Garza has introduced an initiative to amend the State Municipal Government Law, aiming to close the legal loophole that currently allows direct relatives of a mayor to be appointed as substitute municipal presidents. The legislator explained that the proposal arises from a recent incident in the municipality of Juárez, which revealed a practice that, while not illegal, undermines basic principles of public service. "This is an important step, a consistent step, one that will live up to what the people pointed out this week," she stated.
