The city’s deputy mayor, Roberto Ruiz Díaz, has announced that he will take a two-year leave from his position. This decision comes amid growing disagreements between Ruiz Díaz and Mayor Mayer Mizrachi, disagreements that seem irreconcilable.
In recent statements, Ruiz Díaz expressed: "After a thorough personal analysis and considering the current circumstances, I have decided to distance myself from my responsibilities as deputy mayor for a period of two years. I believe this is the best decision for the well-being of the city and to devote more time to personal matters."
Tensions between Ruiz Díaz and Mizrachi have been evident in recent months, and many in the community have speculated about the future of their working relationship. The news of Ruiz Díaz's leave has generated surprise and raised the question of who will fill the deputy mayor's position during his absence.
For his part, Mayor Mizrachi has stated that he respects Ruiz Díaz's decision and wishes him the best during his leave. Mizrachi has also assured that he will continue to work for the benefit of the city and will soon announce who will temporarily fill the position of deputy mayor.
The temporary departure of Ruiz Díaz will undoubtedly leave a void in the city's leadership, but it also presents an opportunity for new voices and perspectives to get involved in municipal management. The coming months will be crucial to see how events unfold at the city hall and how the absence of the deputy mayor will be managed.
