As reported by LPO, next Monday the initiative drafted by the Secretary of Administration and Finance, Juan Pablo de Botton, will be approved, but until that happens, the PAN member demanded that the Palace of Donceles not skimp on funds to improve surveillance in the different demarcations. During a joint security operation with his counterpart from Cuajimalpa, Carlos Orvañanos, and the municipal president of Huixquilucan, Romina Contreras, the PAN member from Miguel Hidalgo demanded that the Congress double the resources allocated for security to 'improve surveillance in the areas to have more units and more personnel'. Additionally, the 4T accuses him of having promoted and financially funded the violent mobilization of November 15 carried out by Generation Z. MORENA bets on approving Brugada's budget without major problems in Donceles. With this scenario, the opposition dismisses that the demand of the Miguel Hidalgo mayor will be taken into account, since they warn off the record, the ruling party will not yield on issues of this size as it expects to approve the project with the fewest possible changes. The mayor of Miguel Hidalgo, Mauricio Tabe, attacked the negotiations taking place in the local Congress between the ruling party and the opposition by demanding that the Legislative Branch double the funds for security for the coming year. On the other hand, in the 4T they believe that Tabe's maneuver is an attempt to strengthen his image for the 2027 elections, where he will try to secure his succession in the demarcation; and towards 2030, where he will seek to compete for the Head of Government against Morena in the definition for the replacement of the current head, Clara Brugada. 'The deputies have to assign a larger budget so that we can double our capabilities in units and security elements,' he added. Without Brugada, CDMX began the works of the first Utopia in Cuauhtémoc. In this way, Tabe once again polemicizes with Morena, with whom he has starred in a series of recent clashes over various issues that placed him at the forefront of the polarization between the ruling party and the opposition. Despite his demands, sources from the chilanga opposition do not have high expectations that his demand will prosper, taking into account the majority held by the ruling party that allows it to advance with this project without major concessions. Furthermore, Tabe maintains a direct dispute with the Congress after not having appeared before the corresponding commissions as established by law to explain, justify and advance his government projects during the last year and the coming months. As reported by LPO, the PAN member was the only mayor in all of CDMX who did not give his report, which earned him strong criticism from Morena. Now, the topic of debate is the budget, which the 4T expects to approve without major setbacks next Monday, during the last ordinary session of the current Legislature's period.
