Overview
- Conade director Rommel Pacheco named Carlos Eduardo Robleda Chávez—who holds a degree in Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation from Universidad Privada de la Península—as encargado de despacho of the Subdirección de Administración.
- Robleda's professional record in education was confirmed by the Dirección General de Profesiones, and critics say his therapy background does not match the unit's required experience in public budgeting, procurement and personnel management.
- The personnel change followed union-led actions at Conade that led to the resignation of Lourdes Martínez Sánchez and to worker demands tied to leadership and labor disputes.
- Conade has told the Mexican Olympic Committee it lacks SHCP authorization to fund Mexico's delegation to the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympics, a budget shortfall that has heightened scrutiny of the agency's financial management.
- Lawmakers and former athletes have called for accountability because the Subdirección de Administración must comply with federal laws on public administration, budget responsibility and public procurement, which could prompt oversight, audits or formal reviews.
