Cuauhtémoc Mayor Clashes with Morena in Political Budget Showdown

Deputy Cecilia Vadillo fired: "The money from Cuauhtémoc is used to finance violence, hatred, and the black block." Rojo de la Vega challenges Morena and proposes honoring Manzo with statues of Che and Fidel. This generated a strong crossfire between the ruling party and the opposition, which hindered the mayor's appearance, who through social networks denounced that Morena turned her presentation into "a political circus." "I went to explain why the current distribution of resources is insufficient, unfair, and totally out of touch with reality for all mayoralties, but Morena wanted to turn this into a political circus," she declared. The discussion in the Congress during the mayor of Cuauhtémoc's, Alessandra Rojo de la Vega's, appearance this Friday. According to the mayor, Cuauhtémoc receives an annual budget related to the number of fixed inhabitants it has, which barely exceeds 500,000 people. At the same time, the dispute over Cuauhtémoc deepens in what promises to be one of the most important electoral battles in the coming years. As LPO reported, this week the Morena parliamentary group demanded that the Prosecutor's Office investigate Rojo de la Vega and her counterpart from Miguel Hidalgo, Mauricio Tabe, for allegedly having participated in the mobilization of Generation Z that generated strong images of violence in the Zócalo. "I went to demand a fair budget, one that allows serious work, that stops pretending because it is urgent to radically change the city's budgetary structure, decentralize power, take it out of the hands of those who govern from afar without living with the real problems of the people, and return it to citizenship," she added. In this way, the ruling party and the most important figure of the opposition in CDMX clashed again, which raises tensions and polarization for the 2027 and 2030 elections. This time, the stage was the capital Congress, where the mayor appeared before the corresponding commissions on local budget issues. Here I will continue to say things as they are, working every day so that everyone can live better." I'm telling you what happened today. As anticipated by LPO, the mayor presented her general guidelines for next year's budget and defended her recent proposal to the Congress for the central government to directly distribute among the demarcations the resources generated from the collection of property tax and water. The discussion began when some figures from the 4T accused her of financing the past mobilization of Generation Z, which led to strong crossfires in the Palace of Donceles. During her appearance, the 4T accused the mayor of "using public money to finance violent groups and forcing merchants to attend marches." However, almost five million people pass through daily, so she maintains that the resources are "insufficient." The polarization between Morena and the mayor of Cuauhtémoc, Alessandra Rojo de la Vega, continues and deepens day by day for the 2027 and 2030 elections. "They chose the easiest thing: they took my microphone away," she denounced and added: "I am one voice, but behind me come millions."
