The mayor of Miguel Hidalgo, Mauricio Tabe, during the press conference he led this Monday, stated that the mayoralty does not have enough public works staff to handle this demand, as the Reforma Centro area is already overwhelmed. However, the capital government rules out issuing new budget allocations. Two months before the inaugural match, the PAN-party mayor of Miguel Hidalgo, Mauricio Tabe, reiterated his demands for the central government to increase his demarcation's budget, asserting it will be 'the gateway for tourism.' 'We are advancing on the agenda we set for ourselves, and it's not that we need additional resources, but simply that the resources be used for what they are and for the obligations of the mayoralties,' he added. Brugada led a new event at Utopía Mixhuca and is accelerating the inauguration in Azcapotzalco. Two months before the inauguration of the World Cup, the Government of the City is working in coordination with the 16 mayoralties on different aspects of the sporting event. 'The only thing we ask is that they can use the resources for the things that have to be done, which is their obligation,' declared the former mayor of Iztapalapa. Likewise, the head of Government recalled that her administration increased funds for the mayoralties by eight billion pesos, a fact she described as 'very important.' However, at the Old City Hall, they ruled out providing new allocations, stating, 'the budget must be used for the obligations of the mayoralties.' In a press conference, the PAN-party mayor detailed that he formally requested an increase of 182 million pesos in the budget from the head of Government, Clara Brugada, to address the demands generated by the arrival of tourists during the five matches that will take place at the Azteca Stadium. In that meeting, various sources agree, the only mayor who showed differences with Clara Brugada was Mauricio Tabe himself, who began to press his demand for more resources. In any case, the capital government is making it clear, both in front of and away from the microphones, that it will not proceed with a new budget allocation for the different mayoralties and demands that the funds already transferred be made effective. At a press conference on March 24, the head of Government, Clara Brugada, assured that 'there are no additional resources heading to the World Cup for anyone, neither for the Government of the City nor for the mayoralties.' She explained that with the current economic resources, she will not be able to handle its illegal expansion, and called on the capital government to take action. She detailed that 100 million would be to hire additional Auxiliary Police elements and the rest for tasks related to cleaning, pothole repair, road marking, lighting, drainage, and pruning. Two months before the World Cup, Brugada highlighted a 6% drop in high-impact crimes. 'With the current resources, Miguel Hidalgo does not have the conditions to face this challenge without affecting the neighbors,' emphasized the PAN-party mayor, who stated that the funds he receives from the central government are destined to attend to the demands, complaints, and requests of the citizenship of the demarcation, but it does not contemplate the arrival of people in this type of massive events. In this way, the new differences between the Zócalo and the Miguel Hidalgo mayoralty seem to be a new crusade of polarization between one of the PAN figures aspiring to compete in the 2030 elections for the Head of Government and the 4T that aspires to snatch its demarcation in 2027. As detailed by LPO, a few weeks ago there was a meeting between the different authorities to talk about security and the operations that will be carried out. Faced with this, the PANist threatened not to authorize 'a single event for the sporting party' because his administration would not have sufficient resources. Likewise, Tabe alerted about street vending, especially on the Paseo de la Reforma and Chapultepec Forest corridor. The preparations and controversies regarding the football World Cup matches to be played in CDMX continue.
