PAN CDMX Says 2026 Revenue Bill Omits World Cup Windfall, Demands Revisions

The bloc will meet the city finance secretariat to seek clearer estimates, pressing for guardrails against discretionary surpluses.

Overview

  • PAN legislators argue the draft Ley de Ingresos fails to include temporary gains tied to FIFA World Cup 2026 activity, including higher hotel tax collections from an expected influx of about 5.5 million visitors.
  • PAN floor leader Andrés Atayde says the government’s estimates run below actual collections each year, creating surpluses the executive can deploy without legislative approval.
  • Formal review sessions with the Secretaría de Administración y Finanzas are set in the coming days as PAN weighs whether to back the Paquete Económico 2026.
  • Party leaders outlined priorities for the 2026 budget that emphasize security, infrastructure, water, dignified housing and mobility, warning that projected housing funds fall short and that cuts could weaken monitoring and security centers.
  • PAN also flagged potential centralization of resources that could limit alcaldías, as the government separately plans 6,000 million pesos to adapt the city for World Cup inauguration hosting.
