Due to the potential budget realignment caused by a lack of political agreements at the state level, the National Action Party (PAN) seeks to sustain the transparency body INFO NL, which is currently operating at its limit with only three councilors. The 2026 Executive Budget proposal included its elimination; however, the opposition, in its counter-proposal, kept it alive with funding. Thus, a realignment in 2026 and a potential one in 2027 are beneficial for INFO NL and PAN. If an agreement is reached with the Palace of Cantera, LPO reported that the opposition seeks to negotiate keeping the transparency dependency for one more year in exchange for advancing federal legislation that mandates the body's elimination in 2027. Due to this urgency, they appointed the technical secretary, Héctor Ríos, as the acting councilor to keep INFO NL operational. It is understood that the body is maintained at its limit to fine-tune details—mainly in a payroll managed by PAN from the local Congress—in case it is eliminated next year. Due to the lack of agreements and the presumed tacit realignment forecasted at the Palace of Cantera, INFO NL could sustain its 2025 budget, which amounts to 211 million pesos. A clear example of this is the recent change in the body's councilorships. Three members ended their term in December, leaving only President Brenda González and Councilor Félix Ramírez, rendering the body inoperative. While this is a decision of the Congress, they could function as 'bargaining chips' in other, even more critical areas. The opposition believes that if an agreement is reached in January, it could be the last consensus Tax Package achieved during Samuel García's six-year term, as electoral issues will dominate the following year.
