The PRI administration proposed and the legislature, with a Morenista majority, broke into the state of Mexico. The fiscal package for the penultimate year of the Alfredo Del Mazo administration was frozen by a radical faction of the left party which – apart from the agreements signed by the Secretary of the Interior, Adán Augusto López Hernández – approved the budget to the limit.
The debt request processed by the PRI president – 9,500 million pesos – was not authorized by the Moreno majority who tried to divert the resources of the municipal reinforcement fund to the demarcation of the Eastern Zone … which is controlled by Morena not.
To unblock the legislative machinery, Morena’s national leader Mario Delgado Carrillo had to intervene directly, which in the middle of the current week received about thirty Mexican delegates in its offices in western Mexico City. A bloc of popular representatives, led by Faustino de la Cruz Pérez, insisted on their refusal of any concession. “We are going to bear the political cost and the people are going to take it from us,” they said.
The national president of the ruling party called his caucus to a “reasoned vote” and asked that they open a space for the civil servants in charge of budget management and the connecting works to the new Santa Lucía airport terminal.
In private, the legislators and secretaries deliberated on an exhausting day, but without outbursts. And the way was paved to complete the decision-making process, with the last session of the Joint Planning and Public Spending Committees, so that the Plenary approved the fiscal package over the weekend. Without debate and in an economic mood?
The Morenista majority will vote in favor of a 2022-spending budget with a debt ceiling of 5.5 billion pesos, of which 1.8 billion will be earmarked for “high-impact works” and the rest — 3.7 billion — in the next six weeks will be spent completing the road infrastructure to Felipe Angeles Airport.
A road distributor, in charge of the Mexican government, has already been completed, but the expansion of the Mexican Circuit is still pending, while the federal government will pay for the expansion of the lanes of the Camino a Tonanitla, which will be the main access road. to the new airport complex.
The Milpa Alta-Chalco Trobelús, the modernization of the road to San Jerónimo, the two junctions to the Mexico-Pachuca federal highway and the Buena Vista-Santa Lucía suburban train are major works that will be completed by the end of this year.
By that time, operations at Felipe Ángeles should involve five cargo airlines and at least six passenger airlines: VivaAerobús, Volaris, Aeromar, Magnicharters, Copa Airlines and ALA, the company represented by José Luis Garza, who only recently formalized his petition to AFAC. week.
Despite the sabotage and resistance, the state of Mexico will have a budget. And the airport to Santa Lucía, land access in 50 days. And then? The Morenista majority in the Mexican Congress will resume its proposal for a new Constitution, ahead of the election to renew the governorship.
