This Tuesday, in the local Congress, the parliamentary group of the PT managed to remove from the agenda a project promoted by the former mayor of Xochimilco, Juan Carlos Acosta. The project aimed to guarantee jobs for his political base in the municipality now led by Circe Camacho, with whom he does not have a good relationship.
According to sources in Acosta's team, about 700 people hired under the category of 'salaries assimilated fees' have been unlawfully terminated after Acosta's term ended. These individuals continued working until October 17 without official termination notifications.
In the midst of the dispute, it was suggested to urge Camacho to guarantee the work of these individuals. However, the PT argues that these are not employees, but the political and territorial structure of the former mayor, who was trying to secure positions for his political base in the municipality.
An official source explained: 'We can urge the opposition as many times as we want, but not among allies.' Despite the tensions, Xóchitl Bravo, coordinator of Morena, managed to reduce the tension and the exhortation was removed from the agenda.
Despite Circe Camacho assuming the mayorship, the differences with Acosta persist. 'Acosta believed he was the owner of the mayorship and is not willing to let it go,' mentioned a source from the Palacio de Donceles. The differences between both politicians have caused friction and tensions in Xochimilco.
The internal process of the ruling party in Xochimilco has been one of the most intense in the capital. The disputes between Acosta and Camacho have exposed the divisions within the party. 'It's not about a labor payroll, but a political payroll,' pointed out a source close to the negotiations.
Despite the internal differences, the ruling party promoted an exhortation against a figure from the 4T, something that caught attention in the Palacio de Donceles. The political tensions in Xochimilco reflect the internal challenges faced by the party in the capital.
