The mayor of Cuauhtémoc, Alessandra Rojo de la Vega, stated: 'We are going to continue to raise our voice for a fair budget because real change is also built with responsibility.' In this way, the mayor's demands could complicate the discussions just beginning at the Palace of Donceles regarding next year's budget. The central government has until November 30 to present it, and it is expected to be approved, as LPO learned, in mid-December. Cuauhtémoc produces, contributes, and today demands what it deserves. The president of the Budget and Public Accounts Commission, Valentina Batres, announced that starting November 18, the authorities of the 16 mayoralties will appear before the Legislative Power to report on the public resources already used and the economic demands for the coming year. In this sense, she announced that she will present a series of proposals so that part of the property tax and water payments are allocated directly to the mayoralties to strengthen their investment capacity and urban maintenance. At a new event she led as part of the presentation of her first government report, the mayor stated that 'Cuauhtémoc contributes more than three billion pesos a year in property tax and contributions for water, light, parking meters, and licenses,' but she denounced that 'this money is not reflected in our streets, parks, and street lighting.' She also confirmed that she will pursue three main objectives: build three Cablebús lines, improve the Metro lines, and advance with the first Utopías. Despite the ruling party having the necessary votes to approve the budget without major issues, the mayor's demands threaten to create new tension at the Palace of Donceles between Morena and the opposition over the destination of public funds in a pre-election year, i.e., when the different authorities will seek to improve their performance to arrive in the best possible way at the 2027 elections. As the Mexico City Congress prepares to begin discussing the economic budget for 2026, the mayor of Cuauhtémoc, Alessandra Rojo de la Vega, seeks to intervene in the discussions by demanding more resources for the capital of the capital. 'We want to know how the mayoralties have spent the money, to have a more robust analysis on how to orient the resources in each demarcation,' explained the deputy, who announced that the ruling party will seek to approve the project led by the Secretary of Finance, Juan Pablo de Botton, by December 15. 'It is fair that the resources return to where they are generated,' she emphasized. 'The Puma' Rodríguez is already organizing rallies to build Harfuch's structure in CDMX. 'Real decentralization begins when trust is placed in local governments and they are given what is theirs by law and by justice. We are going to defend every peso so that it becomes works, services, and well-being for the people,' she emphasized and added: 'Cuauhtémoc produces, contributes, and today demands what it deserves. Additionally, between December 1 and 5, the authorities of autonomous bodies, such as the Electoral Tribunal, the Prosecutor's Office, the Electoral Institute, and the Human Rights Commission, will do the same.
