Overview

• The Instituto de Planeación informed lawmakers that public consultations for the Plan General de Desarrollo will begin in November, not June as previously scheduled.
• PAN deputy Olivia Garza, who leads the congressional planning commission, says the legally required consultation, revision and legislative review steps make completion this year impossible.
• Garza criticized Jefa de Gobierno Clara Brugada for missing the timeline the government set, saying the delay also holds back the Programa General de Ordenamiento Territorial.
• She contends the planning institute lacks legal autonomy, leaving the process subject to the political will of the executive and the planning secretariat.
• The local government describes its Plan Maestro as a participatory response to gentrification and housing demand, a tool opponents say lacks juridical and constitutional basis.
