Overview
- At a session of the CDMX Congress Budget and Public Accounts Commission, Morena legislators presented what they called evidence that Cuauhtémoc resources financed the ‘Bloque Negro’ linked to recent protest violence.
- Lawmakers also alleged clientelist practices in Cuauhtémoc social programs, citing a purported recording of a municipal official conditioning aid on attendance at the mayor’s event.
- Mayor Alessandra Rojo de la Vega rejected the accusations, urged rivals to submit proof to the prosecutor’s office, and noted that no formal complaint had been filed.
- The appearance devolved into confrontations with dueling banners, and the mayor ended the session after requesting an 85% budget increase for 2026 to address heavy daily service demand.
- Morena figures announced probes into the role of Pablo Eduardo Ortiz Padilla and said Miguel Hidalgo mayor Mauricio Tabe could be included in complaints if employment links are confirmed.
