He will be replaced by the engineer Jorge Arganis Díaz Leal, who was secretary of Works during the government of Marcelo Ebrard in Mexico City.
Jiménez Espriú thanked the president for “his understanding and respect for the decision to separate me from office.” It confirmed that the reason was the difference that the secretariats of the Defence and Navy were in charge of controlling the country’s customs and ports.
“It has been a great satisfaction I am still faithful and loyal to the purposes and projects of the Fourth Transformation, you will have a Mexican citizen who will be supporting your project,” Jiménez Espriú said.
He told Arganis that he gave him a Secretariat “different to the one we received, there is no corruption anymore, it was a complicated complex and full of rot, he will have a dignified Secretariat”
