The mayor of Álvaro Obregón, Lia Lemon García announced that he will request a 15-day leave to begin his process to compete for the candidacy for the Head of Government of Mexico City within the Broad Front for Mexico.

“In the event of the absence of the mayor or the mayor for a period longer than that indicated in the previous article, he or she must request permission in writing from Congress. In all cases, their duration must be specified,” the section explains.
However, it is worth remembering, with 32 votes against and 18 in favor, the request did not pass, which earned strong criticism from the PAN member against the ruling party in the legislative body: “Not fear, dread is what @PartidoMorenaMx has in me.” , because they know that I am a strong woman with results. #Don’tTakeThemOut. “I will be the next head of Government of Mexico City.”
Although many suggested that Limón García could resign from her position, in reality the mayor opted for apply for a 15 day licensewhich is granted without the interference of Congress, since it is a right of the holders of the demarcations provided for in the aforementioned organic law.
