During the press conference this Thursday, the head of the CDMX government reiterated that the case of Sandra Cuevas is a judicial matter, not a political one, and that it has nothing to do with the capital’s government.

When questioned about whether the government will get involved in the process of reappointing a representative in the mayor’s office, the head of government said that the result of the hearing will be reviewed and from there what corresponds to the Executive will be analyzed.

“We have not even generated a process associated with that,” he replied.
