The president of the Metropolitan Development Commission of the capital congress, Alberto Vanegas Arenas, announced that the first forum for the update of the Metropolitan Coordination Law of Mexico City has been rescheduled for February 10 at the Heberto Castillo Hall of the legislative headquarters, due to external issues.
In a meeting of the Commission, the Morena deputy mentioned that high-level officials from the Government of Mexico City have already confirmed their attendance at the event. Among them are the Secretary of Planning, Land Management, and Metropolitan Coordination; Héctor Ulises García Nieto, Secretary of Mobility; and Julia Álvarez Icaza, Secretary of the Environment.
"I have held meetings with the president deputies of the metropolitan development commissions of the State of Mexico and Hidalgo, as well as with the federal Chamber of Deputies, achieving important progress in aligning our agendas to likewise hold interparliamentary forums where the voices of various actors involved can be integrated, in pursuit of solid, inclusive, effective legislation that responds to current metropolitan challenges," stated Alberto Vanegas.
Various topics will be addressed in the forum, including mobility and road safety, water security, management and sanitation, comprehensive solid waste management, urban development, housing and territory, citizen security, and metropolitan justice. Vanegas emphasized that these open parliament forums ensure participatory construction to present new legislation as a first legal framework that strengthens coordination from local to regional levels.
Additionally, open parliament exercises are planned for the creation of the Law for the Development of the Metropolitan Region, which would represent a broader second legal framework for governance in the region.
