With great expectation, the Secretary of Government, Miguel Flores Serna, announced that on November 13th, he will meet with the opposition to negotiate the key points of the 2026 Budget.From the Front, they state: "We cannot move forward if they do not comply with what they promised before."In another municipal sector, close to the 4T, they believe these resources will be released by the end of the year, and the retention is merely a strategy by Flores Serna to have more negotiation leverage in the discussions for the 2026 Fiscal Package.Furthermore, opposition metropolitan municipalities have demanded the Executive increase their participation share from 20% to 30%, a recurring topic since budget negotiations began.On their part, the PRI-PAN bloc is pressuring by complicating MC's public accounts through the ASE; it should be recalled that the department allied with the albiazul has already submitted reports to Congress.At the Palace of Cantera, they point to another considerable debt, citing the arrival of the 2026 World Cup, as well as the continuation of Metro and other highway works.These are extra resources to the federal participations still owed from 2023 and 2024.A sector of the 4T doubts approving said financing, as at the Ministry of Finance, they do not look favorably upon Nuevo León being the most indebted state in the country, even though it has received a large amount of resources for major works from the federation.Another key point in the negotiation is the electoral reform.The most transcendent aspect of the meeting will be the expansion of debt for the Executive, as well as overdue collections for municipalities and the increase in participations.According to what LPO could learn, the central theme will be the debt the state government has with opposition municipalities through the Municipal Fund (FODEMUN).PRI-PAN hopes to expedite the process in December and ensure certainty that their main project, Adrián de la Garza, can participate for the 2027 elections without gender barriers.The governor, Samuel García, insists this topic will not be addressed until it is carried out at the federal level, when President Claudia Sheinbaum achieves her electoral reform around February or March.This, provided the conditions of the PRI-PAN Front are considered; it should be remembered that the opposition now holds enough votes to approve or reject any budget project in the legislature.Meanwhile, in Morena, they are also aware that the Executive will place a considerable debt at the center of the negotiations.Legislators from the opposition assure that negotiations will start with 15,000 million in financing, an exorbitant amount they do not plan to approve.The negotiation would be reduced to a debt similar to last year's, hovering between 7,000 and 10,000 million pesos.
