On the second floor of the Donceles Palace, members of the ruling party expressed concern and requested clarifications on the position adopted so far, which still lacks internal consensus. Local legislators are awaiting new guidelines to decide how to proceed, either through the creation of new boroughs or the postponement of a process stemming from a constitutional mandate pending execution in Mexico City.
In this context, the Secretary of Planning, Land Use, and Metropolitan Coordination of Mexico City, Alejandro Encinas, expressed the need for a territorial reconfiguration to ensure an equitable distribution of services and resources in the city. This openness paves the way for proposals for the division of boroughs such as Iztapalapa, Gustavo Madero, Álvaro Obregón, and Coyoacán, given their recent population growth.
Encinas' opinions generated a significant impact in the plenary meeting of Morena in the local Congress, causing surprise and highlighting the lack of consensus and decision within the government to pursue this direction. Nevertheless, Encinas reiterated at a local governments event the inevitable nature of the borough division process in the capital.
Current discussions focus on the political, electoral, and economic aspects of the possible new demarcations, hindering the debate. "Sooner or later, we will progress in the creation of new boroughs," stated an associate of Government Chief Clara Brugada, pointing out the inevitability of modifying the territorial structure in the future.
