Overview
- Alessandra Rojo de la Vega formally delivered the initiative to the Mexico City Congress, where it requires approval and an Article 55 constitutional change.
- The reallocation targets revenue generated on secondary roads under borough responsibility, while the city would continue keeping collections tied to main thoroughfares.
- She estimates re-asphalting all secondary streets in Cuauhtémoc would cost about 5,000 million pesos, arguing the current budget cannot cover that need.
- Rojo de la Vega says funds from property tax (predial) and water payments now go to the central government without clear traceability, calling the system a “black box.”
- The proposal was unveiled with support from PAN deputies, including caucus leader Andrés Atayde, as the mayor urged lawmakers from all parties to back it.
