Overview
- The 504-page draft Plan General de Desarrollo was posted on the Plaza Pública platform around 21:00 on Nov. 9, and consultations began immediately.
- The platform lists 471 public forums set for Nov. 11 to Dec. 13 across PILARES centers, effectively compressing engagement compared with earlier two- to three-month timelines mentioned by officials.
- PAN deputy Olivia Garza alleges the planning institute skipped required approval by its Junta de Gobierno and omitted a mandated diffusion period, calling for the consultation to be suspended and the procedure redone.
- Garza warns organizations or citizens could seek suspension or file challenges against the consultation over the alleged legal omissions.
- Substantive proposals include a rent reasonableness index, expanded social housing and financing mechanisms, with a post-consultation revision to be sent to the city government and then require a two-thirds vote in the local Congress.
