The authorities of Mexico City are seeking to pass a law on fair and affordable housing. However, this legislative scheme demands a new organization, and it is not yet known when it will be addressed. Initially, the ruling coalition announced that it would be last year itself, following protests against gentrification that even drew criticism from the United States. Official sources off the record acknowledge that there are sectors that promote waiting for this World Cup to advance with rent regulations to avoid problems with the rentals that tourists will carry out when they arrive in the capital and that will generate a large amount of money. However, with a new Legislature already underway, the law is still not defined and its treatment is being delayed. At a press conference, Brugada admitted that some details of the initiative still need to be defined and that, therefore, it is not yet ready to be dealt with in the Palace of Donceles. This is why there are also disputes about waiting to reach consensus or advancing despite the differences there may be with these sectors. At the same time, other groups opt to proceed with speed and address a demand that especially affects youth, a fundamental social sector for the government in electoral times. At the same time, possible regulations on rental platforms or on private sectors dedicated to property rental also generate disputes within the ruling coalition due to the criticism, demands, or legal actions that may be taken. As detailed by LPO, the opposition harshly criticized the Bando 1 announced by Brugada and it is expected that the same will happen with the law of fair and affordable rents. That goal, for now, seems distant because the internal disputes and differences with various involved sectors continue. Months before the World Cup, Brugada announces a remodeling plan for Line 2 of the Metro. In any case, the former mayor of Iztapalapa advanced that the regulatory framework of the law that will be tried to be passed this year will be that of Bando 1 already announced last year. The head of government, Clara Brugada, presented a series of proposals framed within Marco 1 of her administration and, in addition, announced a law of fair and affordable rents. In this scenario, the law is delayed and, for now, has no date for treatment. This is why various figures that make up the local Congress still do not dare to anticipate a date of when it could be treated, although until a few months ago they promised it would be in February. The same establishes, for example, controls on internet platforms, the prohibition of increasing rent above the accumulated inflation, the creation of a tenants' rights ombudsman to generate new mediation and defense mechanisms, and a reasonable rent price index to stabilize rents, among other things. This is due, explain legislative sources, to certain internal differences that would exist in the team in charge of drafting the law and the questions posed by the holding of the Football World Cup, which will begin in June. The PAN denounces the possible arrival of Adán Augusto in CDMX. The arrival of the World Cup generates a series of challenges for the Government of CDMX on various issues: security, transportation, water, tourism, and also housing. Then, the 4T postponed the debate for this year, but after announcing it would be in February, now the date is again unknown. After the protests that arose last year against the increase in rents and the high cost of living in CDMX, the CDMX ruling coalition promised to address the demands against gentrification.
