Overview
- Jesús Sesma, outgoing president of the Mesa Directiva, warned the Plan General de Desarrollo (PGD) has not been received or processed by Congress and could remain unresolved when the 2027 electoral period begins.
- Sesma said the National Action Party has raised objections to how the PGD would be processed and that a formally approved processing 'ruta'—which would set commissions, timelines and fallback rules—was shared but never voted on.
- He cited instability in the preparing agency, with three different heads during the process, as a factor that has delayed delivery and review of the PGD.
- Sesma argued the delay is already slowing investment by leaving land-use rules and long-term planning unclear, and he urged approval of a functional plan now that can be refined later.
- As he prepares to leave the Mesa Directiva, Sesma will hand over a dossier of pending items—including the unapproved PGD route, unresolved commission work and roughly 30 decrees not yet published in the Gaceta Oficial—and called on new leadership to prioritize the file.
