++ The Federal District Legislative Assembly appointed Clara Brugada as borough chief in Iztapalapa, following a proposal submitted by Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard. After being sworn in at the Legislative Assembly Clara Brugada said her appointment brings an end to instability in the borough and opens a new chapter of political stability. Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard said that by proposing Clara Brugada as the new head of the Iztapalapa borough he was hewing to what most voters wanted when they cast their vote for Rafael Acosta, “Juanito” on July 5th, since Juanito was proposed as a “substitute” for Brugada when her own candidacy was invalidated.
