In late July 2026, Veracruz’s state Congress approved a 90‑day health leave for Perote municipal president Vinicio Ascencio Fernández, effectively canceling the resignation he submitted on 16 June 2026. The leave was granted to allow Ascencio to undergo further medical treatment after multiple surgeries. During his absence, town‑hall secretary Miguel Ángel Martínez Dionisio was sworn in on 28 July 2026 as interim mayor, assuming full responsibilities for the duration of the leave while municipal programs continue uninterrupted.
