Head of Government of Mexico City, Clara Brugada, presented the budget for 2026. The total investment in security and public projects will reach 58 billion pesos. However, there is discontent in the Congress of the capital, known as the Palace of Donceles, as it will receive less funding than expected. Initially, the Congress requested 2,164,344,281 pesos, but was ultimately allocated only 1,886,307,510 pesos. This nearly 10% difference has raised concerns about the normal functioning of the legislative body in the coming year. Furthermore, the budget will not meet the demands of most of the capital's mayoralties, which had requested budget increases of over 10-15%. Official sources have warned that this could complicate the purchase of necessary supplies, staff salaries, and other obligations during the next legislative session.
