Mérida Mayor Delivers Second Informe Emphasizing Fiscal Order and Service Expansion

A claimed triple‑A credit rating signals stronger municipal finances that could expand Mérida's borrowing capacity.

Overview

  • Mayor Cecilia Patrón Laviada delivered her public Second Informe in the comisaría of Dzityá on Saturday, Aug. 29, 2026, and the municipality carried the speech live on its YouTube and Facebook channels.
  • Patrón said her administration 'ordered' municipal finances, obtained a reported triple‑A credit rating, and maintained that no taxes were raised during the period.
  • The mayor highlighted administrative reforms, including the launch of MID Digital to simplify procedures and an outreach program to serve all 47 comisarías.
  • Patrón announced service and infrastructure gains such as the opening of Mérida's first Centro Municipal de Autismo, a second autism center planned for colonia Madero, a free Universidad de las Mujeres, and a public‑lighting upgrade slated to reach 80,000 LED luminaires.
  • The event doubled as political signaling with national PAN figures and local business leaders in attendance, notable absences among some high‑profile former mayors and governors, and a governor's representative present, underscoring shifting alliances that could affect local coalition building.
