The State Council process stood out because the four candidates were unanimously selected out of a total of 32 who applied.
We can boast, because I believe it is part of the unity that exists in Morena in Mexico City, that this is the State Council, of those that have been held so far, in which these two women and two men are promoted by consensus, unanimously, that is, no voting took place,” said Citlalli Hernandez, Morena’s Secretary General.
From today until October 29th, surveys will be carried out with which the National Council will decide if there are two more profiles that should be in the final exercise. The poll to define the virtual local candidate will take place on October 30 and two companies will conduct mirror polls.

Harfuch offers to give continuity
During his first public and massive act as an aspirant to coordinate the Defense of the Fourth Transformation of Mexico City, Omar García Harfuch assured that he will give continuity to the project of attention to the causes headed by Claudia Sheinbaum as head of Government.
For us it is very important to understand that security is not only the use of force; with Dr. Claudia Sheinbaum we mainly learned that (…) When we arrived with Dr. Sheinbaum we focused on the attention to the causes”, he said.
In the Mexico City district of Tláhuac, he emphasized that derived from that strategy they achieved the reduction of high impact crimes by more than 50%, from 2018 to 2023.
“The city was going through a delicate moment in terms of security with many homicides, robberies, extortions, etc. (…) We managed to reduce the number of crimes by 50%,” Omar García Harfuch concluded.
