Brugada Sends Three-Person Shortlist To Congress For Mexico City’s Contraloría Chief

Lawmakers now proceed to interviews followed by a qualified-majority vote under newly relaxed eligibility rules.

Overview

  • The shortlist proposes Nashieli Ramírez Hernández, Misael Martínez Vielma and Elena Ramos Arteaga to lead the Secretaría General de la Contraloría.
  • Ramírez remains president of the Mexico City Human Rights Commission and is set to leave that post on November 7 after two terms.
  • The Congress’s Transparency, Data Protection and Anti-Corruption Commission will interview and score the candidates before sending a recommendation to the full chamber.
  • The government’s filing asserts the nominees meet Article 13 Bis requirements, following a recent reform that removed the prior 10‑year professional seniority rule.
  • The oversight office has operated without a permanent head since the current administration began, and a separate shortlist for the PAOT was also submitted to Congress.
