Local deputy and president of the planning committee of the CDMX Congress, Olivia Garza, demanded that the government led by Clara Brugada hold new consultations for the General Development Plan (PGD), ensuring that the period that closed this Friday "was a farce, a setup, and a simulation to impose a document without social legitimacy." "We join the request of neighborhood organizations and original towns and peoples to restore the consultation process of the PGD," declared the local deputy, who denounced that "there are inflated, inconsistent, and manipulated figures that demonstrate the absolute lack of seriousness with which this process was conducted." "Enough of improvisations and trying to impose, by the force of the majority, a document that does not represent the capital's residents," she added. "It was a farce, a setup, and a simulation to impose a document without social legitimacy." The PAN is not the only sector of public life in CDMX that denounced the consultation process for the formation of the PGD. Despite this, the Iztapalapa panista deputy denounced a series of inconsistencies, demanding that the time for discussion and debate be restored. Despite the protests, the CDMX closed the consultations for the PDG. According to her explanation, the Planning Institute (IPDP) led by Patricia Kuri reported that 787 participatory meetings were held, but on the official platform, only 694 are registered, meaning "there are 93 non-existent or unverifiable events." Last Friday, while the Secretary of Metropolis, Pablo Yanes, and the head of the IPDP, Patricia Kuri, were giving the last details in a press conference about these negotiations with civil society, organizations of the original towns, social, political sectors, and Copacos held various demonstrations and protests to keep the consultations open. In any case, the government of Clara Brugada moved forward with the already established times and closed the consultations to send the project to the local Congress. The Palace of Donceles, in turn, will begin a series of debates with the citizenry to define the initiative, which is expected to be approved towards the end of the year. "The PAN is not going to allow this institutional fraud to be consolidated," she stated. She also maintained that 486 workshops held in different venues of the Pillars "must be discarded" because the PGD was not discussed in them, but rather various issues of the colonies and neighborhoods of the capital. During this new journey that the PGD will go through, tensions and polarization between the 4T and the local opposition are expected to continue.
