Gertz Manero’s last breath: a legal plot twist
Just when we thought that the drama of the Attorney General of the Republic (FGR) could not go any further, the master of suspense, Alejandro Gertz ManeroErnestina Godoy as the new head of the Special Prosecutor’s Office for Competition Control. Because, what would power be without a little theater?
The script was like this: Doña Ernestina, in a movement that smacks of a strategy calculated to the millimeter, presented her resignation as Federal Legal Counsel. Immediately afterwards, and as if by legal magic, Gertz Manero places her in the key position. And here comes the good thing: according to the very Law of the Attorney General of the Republic, when the head of the FGR is conspicuous by his absence, the one who must grab the microphone and assume control is precisely the head of that special prosecutor’s office. A legal loophole that someone had to fill, right?
The Senate in the crosshairs: the next chapter of the soap opera
As it is, Ernestina Godoy remains in command of the FGR, but in ‘in charge of’ mode. Basically, it’s like being the substitute coming on in the final match. His mission: keep the chair warm while the Senate and the Federal Executive decide who will be Gertz Manero’s official successor. The document, signed on November 27, grants him all the rights, obligations and powers that the position entails. In other words, you have the keys, but the house is not yours yet.
But, what now? Well, it turns out that this movement is not a simple ‘see you later’. According to lawyer Jorge Nader Kuri, who seems to have a crystal ball for these things, Godoy not only can, but will participate in the Senate call to become the new chief prosecutor. Mr. Nader not only sees it possible, but he bets his chips that the Senate will elect her to make history as the first Attorney General of the Republic. “Yes, nothing prevents it. What’s more, she will participate and be elected by the Senate, thereby becoming Attorney General,” he stated. Sounds like the script is already written, folks.
In short, what seemed like the farewell of a central character has become the prologue of a new season full of political intrigue. Godoy’s appointment is not a simple procedure; It is a strategic move that places a key figure in pole position for the definitive succession. The Senate now has the responsibility of deciding whether this plot follows the script that many anticipate or if it surprises us with an unexpected twist. Meanwhile, the FGR has an interim captain who, for now, is at the helm of one of the most important institutions in the country.
