Overview
- Mexico’s Supreme Court rejected a challenge from the Guerrero Congress and confirmed a suspension that stops revocation-of-mandate proceedings against Acapulco mayor Abelina López.
- The order preserves the current municipal council and bars legislative decisions in the two recall files until the Court issues a final judgment in the case.
- An earlier suspension also remains in force that prevents the Guerrero state audit office from conducting diligences tied to an alleged irregular handling of 898 million pesos in federal funds.
- The pending constitutional controversies will determine whether a state audit body may examine federal resources, clarifying jurisdiction between the state auditor and the federal Auditoría Superior de la Federación.
- López denies wrongdoing and cites a 2023 ASF review with no pending observations, as President Claudia Sheinbaum has emphasized that the ASF is the legally authorized auditor of federal funds.
