The Mexico City government began a process of forming a new technical organization to provide public consultations, linked to the initiative to establish Article 9 of the Constitution of the City. The project, promoted by the head of the local government, Clara Brugada, is presented as a right to work, support, and guarantee of fundamental rights for "universal, non-discriminatory, inclusive, non-sexist, and non-patriarchal" life. The initiative was presented at a press conference with the mayor, where she stated that "the right to work, a living wage, support, and education are fundamental for the development and well-being of the community, but for a long time we have not been able to guarantee them and have not fulfilled them". The ruling party controls 46 of the 66 seats, which allows it to pass the initiative without opposition. They do not see the initiative as a threat to their power, but as a way to "improve their own propaganda," Brugada commented at the project's presentation. To increase participation, the government plans to hold more than 200 local meetings and forums across the city. This is not only about gathering support for the law, but also to include them in the political process. "This is a crucial step towards creating inclusive institutions and strengthening democracy," the committee members said. Clara Brugada, not a critic, continues to promote the program through active political campaigns, while at the same time official structures guarantee a constitutional solution to the city's problems.
