Budgetary Crisis in Nuevo León

Political tension rises in Nuevo León's Congress over the new budget. Morena and the PRI-PAN coalition are in open confrontation, while the governor considers a veto. The outcome will impact regional funding and the political landscape.

Meanwhile, Movimiento Ciudadano (MC) would abstain or also vote against. The new budget would also leave out new taxes or increases, a move by the opposition to make a gesture to the state business community. The budget discussion exhibits a greater hostility dynamic between MC and Morena, and for now, the line of Luisa María Alcalde prevails, which is to wield a greater confrontation with the governor. It should be said: some local Morena deputies want to accompany the Budget, especially those with interests in municipalities. The Morena leadership understands that if the party does not begin to confront MC with greater intensity, in 2027 the real fight will be between PRI-PAN and MC. The argument to reject the Budget will be generalist and will appeal to lateral issues, such as social programs or the resources of autonomous bodies in the hands of PRI-PAN. The governor, for his part, is analyzing whether he will veto the Budget or, alternatively, let it run with the idea of blaming all political forces when resources are lacking next year. Despite the fact that new debt would not be contemplated, Morena would lean towards not voting in favor. It will be a new opportunity to attack the 'old politics'. The budget discussion is advancing in the Congress of NL with the arithmetic of the PRI-PAN Front.
