Political Crisis in Nuevo León Over Lack of Approved Treasurer

PRI deputy Armida Serrato has contacted the federal Ministry of the Interior due to financial uncertainty in Nuevo León. She points out that the acting treasurer, Ulises Carlin, lacks the necessary legitimacy as his candidacy was not approved by the local Congress within the 90-day constitutional deadline. This raises concerns ahead of the distribution of federal funds, especially with the upcoming World Cup.


Political Crisis in Nuevo León Over Lack of Approved Treasurer

In the context of the upcoming federal participations to be sent to the State of Nuevo León, special attention must be paid, since the acting head of the Secretariat of Finance and General Treasury of the State of Nuevo León, appointed by the governor, is not legitimized to administer these resources until the State Congress approves a Secretary of Finance and General Treasurer of the State. This occurs in response to the state executive's slip that it would prioritize the appointment of Ulises Carlin after the legislative recess period, although the 90-day period to make the proposal to the local Congress has expired. In Cantera Palace, they consider this pressure to be purely media-driven, as Ulises Carlin holds all the credentials before the Ministry of Finance as acting treasurer, and they also maintain good political ties with key actors from the Secretariat of the Interior. "I take the liberty of informing you that, at the time of signing this document, the State Executive has not yet submitted to the approval of the State Congress the proposal for the person who would occupy the position of Secretary of Finance and General Treasurer of the State, maintaining as acting the Lic.", the document states. "I deem it necessary, in my capacity as Secretary of the Interior of this country, to make you aware of this delicate situation, which could have serious effects that disrupt the financial operations and internal control of the state government," it was added. After the deadline for submitting a proposal to the Congress for a state treasurer profile expired, the PRI deputy, Armida Serrato, presented an official letter to the federal Secretariat of the Interior due to alleged financial uncertainty amidst the distribution of federal participations and the absence of an official state treasurer. In the document, she requested the federal government to focus on the upcoming distribution of resources ahead of the World Cup and on the management of participations. She assured that the acting head, Ulises Carlín, is not a profile legitimized before the state government, nor endorsed by the local Congress. "Ulises Carlin de la Fuente, even though the constitutional 90-day period indicated by our constitution expired yesterday, March 31," he pointed out.
