President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum appointed Lazaro Cardenas Batel as her chief of staff, marking his return to the National Palace inner circle. Cardenas, with a background in politics and as the son of prominent figures, will focus on strategic projects and engaging with various sectors. This decision restores a key Cabinet position absent since the prior administration. Cardenas' experience includes serving as governor of Michoacán and ties with leftist political movements. Sheinbaum's move underscores a shift in leadership and the importance of engaging different facets of Mexican society within the government structure.
